So we've missed Ichiro vs Ohtani (forever)
and now Tanaka vs Ohtani.
Guess there's no Blank on Blank crime.
 

And that's why Kole keeps playing despite being the worst hitter in 100 years

that's not all that uncommon.
anyone who's ever watched a kung fu movie translated into english knows this.

What is puzzling is that Scioscia is playing musical chairs with the batting lineup, everyone is getting shuffled around all except Pujols like this guy is untouchable.  Very weird.  

Try Simmons at lead off, followed by Trout, or vice versa. Point is, they need to be back-to-back for any offensive continuity.
 
When is Shoe coming back? Barria or Heaney would be nice additions to the bullpen.
 
Ohtani seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Interpreting on live TV ain't easy, it's easy to critique after the fact, I know, but that guy's interpreting today
didn't fully cover some good things Shohei said. First, he didn't say "I got the win." It was more, he wanted to give his all for a team win
given the recent struggles. And the interpreter did mention Calhoun, but what Shohei said was, watching Calhoun running full speed, crashing into the wall,
playing hard gave him even more fortitude to keep pushing on in the game. So he was really descriptive and appreciative about Calhoun's effort, giving props to his struggling teammate.
 
Wish halos could keep causing more havoc on the base pads. More runs than hits. Great weird win today.
 

bullpen time!

Just wait for the next two innings, if you want some discomfort.

Nice catch Upton!

Nice catch Upton!

What a concept. I've never read that this year and it certainly hasn't been discussed for years on end add nauseam.

Just put Simmons there already.

What is puzzling is that Scioscia is playing musical chairs with the batting lineup, everyone is getting shuffled around all except Pujols like this guy is untouchable.  Very weird.  

No entire contract is guaranteed.

Sick lineup:

Simmons
Trout
Ohtani
Upton
Pujols
Cozart
Kinsler
Calhoun
Maldonado

I'd like Simmons leading off in future.  Then a trout/ohtani at 2-3

Isn't it great that we have the best and the second best player in the world, wearing the angels uniform.
?

Morrison said that to give himself credit since he had two hits today. 

Parker 1 pitch win. Ohtani throws 102 pitches leaves with a lead and gets nothing.

Noticed that the ump started to go against us after the Scioscia incident.   Pathetic.

Ohtani covers his mouth during mound meetings, just in case someone from Minnesota can lip read Japanese?

If you guys are worried about injuries, how about 1st base?  Isn't this the easiest and safest position to play?  You barely have to move, just need to field ground balls and catch, Ohtani has a long frame and would be a bigger target as well

Why can't pitchers that leave the game come back later?  It'd be cool if we could sit Ohtani out the 2nd and the 7th inning of games

We're pumped leaving Seattle. Should have swept them, but I'll take it.
