Great to see that Korean lady get the ball. ?

They should also have a senior division.

Wow that sums it up.

Shohei has more home runs than Vlad jr. The league really wants Trout and Judge but that’s not happening.

Ok, fair enough.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia has previously said he doesn't like seeing his players take part in the Derby because he believes the workload is too exhaustive, though he ultimately leaves it up to his players. Trout said he didn't even speak to Scioscia about his decision this year. "It’s his decision," Scioscia said of Trout. "I know they've adjusted some things, and I know they're going to continue to tweak it so it's not as demanding on each contestant, but I think he'd be fine."

Old school baseball didn't have nets for the angels players.

This game is exactly why they won’t ever schedule the Angels to go to London to promote major league baseball.

Well he was compared to Babe Ruth.

He obviously passed the oral test.

That guy has 18 lifetime jacks against us.

Well it's damn good thing we got our full lineup back.

They're saving him for October. Duh

Tommy John hates you.

Cahill sure knows how to F up a good outing.

Cahill coming in to relieve him. That's all I got.

His former swing looked much more balanced. Notice that his front hip and front foot don't dive out of the box.

It hasn’t happened during a game but he does have the power to do it. https://www.12up.com/posts/6065180-video-watch-shohei-ohtani-knock-rumored-525-foot-home-run-in-batting-practice

Shohei in BP is just as powerful as Judge and Stanton. What’s crazy though is that Shohei rarely uses his smooth controlled BP swing during the games but he somehow makes it work because of his tremendous bat speed.

“or the Angels in the position of turning them down”???? The Angels have zero authority over this matter. If the league asks Shohei to participate he doesn’t even need to ask the Angels for permission. He’s already 100% medically cleared to bat.
