Yikes Ohtani today. He needs to fix this. 

This Asshat knows has no boundaries. Translation: he knows his days are numbered.

Upton and Ohtani really cost us some early games. It was forecasted to be a sprint and these two didn’t get out of bed in time.

Yep.  Walsh and Ward are both in the zone.  Considering we likely have to win every single game we have left, we have to play the hot hands.  
I wonder if, during his week off, we altered Ohtani's mechanics or approach at all.  Only 2 ABs so far, but he's looked better in these 2 ABs than he has all month.

1) He's not an active player.
2) With 43 career WAR he's a classic Hall of the Very Good (roughly 40-60 WAR).
Jim Edmonds and Bobby Grich are far more worthy of butthurt outrage.

They need to stop the two way player thing. Get good at one thing or sayonara.

that myth was created by this board or others who don't have access to seeing him on a regular.   He was brought up after 10 games.  Upton was struggling but we've seen Upton be streaky before.  Upton went back to playing almost right away and Goodwin wasn't traded until 35 games in.  And you had Ward.  Fletcher can also play RF.  There were ways around it.  Maybe an argument could have been made for bringing him up after Goodwin was traded.  Maybe.  But that was 12 games ago. 
I just don't see it.  He's 21.  He struggled at AAA last year.  He had limited action this year and no minor league seasoning.  Very little spring.  You can watch him for 5 games and see that he's a hot mess in RF after a mere 45 total reps at that spot as a pro.  He swung through fastballs in AAA last year and whiffed at a greater than 30% clip with no power.   And it's, not surprisingly, even worse now at the major league level.  
How does the front office not see this coming.  And my ultimate point is why push it.  Why take the chance.  We could have easily gotten away without bringing him up.   

The new core. Fletcher, Walsh, Trout and Rendon. Solid bunch there. 

Manfred announced that all playoff tickets will obviously be much more expensive than regular season tickets.
He also announced the newest proposed playoff format where all teams make the playoffs.  The first round Of playoffs will start in April and will be a 140-162 game series.  The best dozen or so will advance to the second round in early October.

If Adell would shave that nasty beard off and cut his hair everyone would have a better understanding of who he is right now.

I googled Many Moons.

In reality he’s actually only a AA player trying his best to advance to the highest level. It’s going to take a lot more patience and time.
