yep. grew up a dodgers fan but didnt watch any baseball for the last 10 yrs. I am just intrigued with Ohtani which lead me to fall back in love with the Dodgers
Ive never watched a professional baseball game in my life and we flew the family from Canada to watch the Angels play and see Ohtani in person. To see the greatest player in baseball in person...I told my kids to remember this moment. We were in awe. Never thought wed be so invested in baseball til now.thats the Ohtani effect.
They are 4 and a half games back and they have to jump 4 teams to get a playoff spot at 1.4% chance. Most of the guys at Angels have given up but what Ohtani did at the field speaks volume he hasn't given up yet although his body is breaking down
Never watched baseball. I got into baseball after seeing the WBC ohtani vs trout. Now all I do in the morning is watch Angel's highlights because I'm always rooting for Ohtani
It's just a shame that his talent is being wasted by a team that isn't capable of making any significant postseason runs. He should demand a trade and get out of that organization if he wants to win or at least contend for a championship
His W-L record should be closer to 19 wins. Same thing for last year. He lost many games with a lead and terrible relievers plus sloppy field play. Many of the leads were due to Ohtani’s bat.
Unfortunately, Ohtani HR and Triple Crown chasing is just too difficult because he doesnt have the support to do so. They can just pitch around him however they want and not give him much good looks at the pitch.
IN AL, His HR absolutely no.1. Batting average just lower Bo Bichette and Yandy Diaz and now Bichette hurts, though his average is .321 higher than Ohtani .306 but his AB not enough, so his mainly competitor is Yandy. And RBI i think difficult becuz Ohtani lower Garcia 7 RBI, but i still think Ohtani can compete triple crown becuz his Hit is 132 lower Bo Bichette and Marcus semien, and his mainly competitor is Semien just lower 2 hits.
It’s the old umps that are the problem, but they won’t be around forever. The young ones are much more accurate and have a better strike zone. One of the reasons is that they don’t look at the ball from an angle like old umps do.
Even if Ohtani has chronic injuries, he can't possibly be as bad as Stephen Strasburg has been since he got his mega deal. He should at least be able to hit at a respectable level even if he has to give up pitching. Stephen Strasburg can't do that. Sometimes you take a chance and end up with someone like Max Scherzer who was worth every penny. Sometimes you end up with Strasburg, who has played in 8 total games in 4 years since he got World Series MVP and got the bag of money.
It's kinda easy for Rich to say, don't care about the injuries, when it's not a billion dollars of his money, possibly going into a franchise that's only worth $1-2B itself.
If I was an ownership of Angels, I would offer him $400 million for 10 years with 5% team equity with no trade clause. What Ohtani wants is a chance to win. And I believe that he wants to win with Angels & Trout, if possible. All Angels will have to show is their willingness to win. If Angels agree that 20 or 30 million dollars they may save per year because of this deal for the next 10 years will be used to get relief pitchers, which Angels desperately need in order to win consistently, he will stay with Angels. As far as Ohtani is concerned, he is not losing anything as 5% of Angels team equity equates to about $200 million dollars. Angels have a chance to win next year with a few promising rookies. I hope they will work out the deal like the above with him.
He’s created so many angels fans from around the world.Japanese people flock to his games wearing angels gear. He knows he’s loved by us. I hope he stays
Funny how teams walk Ohtani all the time yet they pitch to Olson (see Aug 13 box score). Maybe the league wants home grown boys to standout. Conspiracy?
I hope that Ohtani plays next year for the Angels because they allow him to do what he is doing. Maybe he should skip some games as a DH, and he needs an extra day as a pitcher because he is human and needs some rest. If they do that from the beginning next year, he will be able to force the march at the end of the season when every game is more important. If he goes to the "big markets", the circus will be insane because to many people will want "a piece of the action". Let the guy play ball. He is doing fine where he is.
Even thought I am a yankees fan, I would like to see othani in the playoffs. He is a must watch man!!
Interest in baseball has gone up because of Ohtani. I didn't care much for baseball until Ohtani a few years ago brought me back.
@donfeo that's why 67 people agree. And I wouldn't care a lick for this slow sport

Nice!!! I was at the angels game in Anaheim vs the marlins. 2 guys behind me came from Canada
I LOVE YOU SHOHEI😍
Ohtani's last three starts: 19 innings, 0 earned runs.
They are 4 and a half games back and they have to jump 4 teams to get a playoff spot at 1.4% chance. Most of the guys at Angels have given up but what Ohtani did at the field speaks volume he hasn't given up yet although his body is breaking down
Well said.....must see greatness
First time liking baseball. That say a lot that I’m willing to go out my way to watch
Yes he is..❤❤❤
Shohei I love your honor and loyalty but please for the love of the game you hold so dear, go to another team
Rich Eisenhower is the best⭐️
He’s getting 55 homers 13 wins
i live close by have seen him pitch multiple times lost track of how many times i l have seen him hit a homerun lets go angels

🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could make that same argument about judge. He hasn't won a pennant or title either.
@@rossdilworth3412AJ was a no show at the playoffs, when your the best player you have to do your job regardless!
@@josephya5815 I'm an Astros fan...I can't stand the Yankees and Aaron judge can't hit against the Astros.
Doesn’t need to demand a trade, he’s a free agent after this season.
SHOHEI❤️

The more chicken chapmen shy away from Ohtani's turn at bat, the more we realize the greatness of Barry Bonds.
The Angels are running him into the ground. No help. He has to do everything himself. He won the game tonight, too, with a go-ahead homer (08/13/2023)
Unfortunately, Ohtani HR and Triple Crown chasing is just too difficult because he doesnt have the support to do so. They can just pitch around him however they want and not give him much good looks at the pitch.

@@杜坤璟 as of right now, he is 3rd in WAR in pitching and batting, who does that!?
That's just what happens to the best hitters. It isn't like it's just an Ohtani thing.
Rich called it. 700M The only one who got it right.
It’s the old umps that are the problem, but they won’t be around forever. The young ones are much more accurate and have a better strike zone. One of the reasons is that they don’t look at the ball from an angle like old umps do.
Ohtani has got to rest and see if his team can carry the weight (which we know they can't) but adversity will show him who his teammates really are
As an Angels fan, I feel sick
"You know who's wincing?" is a B A R !
大谷は疲れてるよ 7ゲーム差もついたんなら、休んだ方がいいよね

I'm going to have to visit a baseball methadone clinic when I can't ride my bike to see him play.
Somebody in his inner circle, looking at father/mother need to get him to take a week off and simply rest.
I agree. He needs to skip a start once in a blue moon ..
Hey, producer guy, the Astros don't spend the most. They only made one world series the first 50 years of existence. Making up for it now.
Ohtani allowed one run, but not earned run. Look at his stats, Rich.
I think Rich said “one unearned run”.
It's kinda easy for Rich to say, don't care about the injuries, when it's not a billion dollars of his money, possibly going into a franchise that's only worth $1-2B itself.
後半戦は2021 2022 2023 もう申告敬遠ばかりで つまらない
The greatest player in the history of the game seems to be locked up at 40 home runs. PED use can be inconsistent.

we can count seattle out of the ohtani off-season sweeps by not pitching to him due to anaheim's joke of a lineup. sad for their great fans
Yeah His back is sore.. Of course ! He's carrying the weight of his entire team.
some say He's hard carrying the popularity of the MLB in general!

But no robot umps though. Baseball is for humans only. LOL
begin with a 7
Maybe a new coach for the angels new crew they aren’t making the team strong.
Shohei Otani struck out 16 batters against 18 batters in elementary school.
