  1. fair point, Ohtani is good no doubt but his splitter is A+, his fastball has been disappointing I tend to look more so at fangraphs/analytics and their analysis - I agree that Ohtani is a good pitcher with good stuff but his fastball doesn't rise as much as anticipated so it's not a Kimbrel/Chapman FB where it will eat hitters up. It needs to be located in the corners.
  2. anyone notice Ohtani was trying to hold in a laugh last inning? did he see some Geisha girls in the stands?
  3. Ohtani doesn't trust his fastball, he throws 0-0, 1-0 breaking balls he's been behind 50% of the batters
  4. fangraphs steamer which is a constantly updating projection system had him at #6 in ERA among starters in the beginning of the year however they've been updating and he's fallen around ten slots behind names like Mcullers/Morton, he's one spot ahead of Richards. most people on this board can't stand Richards so if Ohtani is amazing then Richards is too. Projections also are all future values so they predict future ERA.
  5. nah I'm not talking about results, more stuff wise his stuff doesn't remind me of Syndergaard or Severino except for his splitter which is a true A+ pitch
  6. Young and Herm cruising to that ball, at least Calhoun would have busted his ass getting to that to keep him at 1B
  7. Ohtani's fastball was hyped as this 100mph dominant pitch, but fangraphs wrote how it's not really a swing and miss pitch bc it doesn't rise. Hitters just don't seem to be scared of that pitch compared to a Chapman/Kimbrel type fastball
  8. people said we weren't hitting bc of Cole/Verlander now we have guys named Snell and Yarbrough destroying us
  9. hitting has been a big disappointment this series
