Or have the A's defenders go hunting for balls in play.

Unlike when I go looking for my car keys and realize they're in my hand and feel like an idiot, they can be pretty certain that the balls are not in their glove.

Bedrosian’s always good to give back a few

Who's with Shohei's parents? Is that a sister?

[bloodbrother]

Love to watch relievers walk guys with a 4 run lead

Maybe it will shut those naysayers around the league up. They were laughing at him for a couple of weeks now. Especially the expert scouts.

Mostly I hope that Jeff Passan enjoyed the gigantic shit sandwich that Ohtani shoved in his stupid face this afternoon. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

I've said it before 94 is better than 93 and it's working for Bedrosian.

[101halo]

Did that just happen? I see a 0 next to the ER column for Bedrock. And he started a clean inning, so I know there weren't any inherited runners that scored. I'll take it! 

[eligrba4ever]

As the season goes along, Ohtani just might get the Angels some more national TV games.

[HALOS23]

Ohtani looked brilliant. So glad to see. Awesome debut. One iffy inning but otherwise brilliant. In line for getting win plus a QS

[Mark68]

Marte partay over.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Ohtani as advertised. 98-100 mph...

[Ohtaniland]

So @tdawg is probably out getting some Cream of Sum Yung Gai.

They have more errors than runs, or at least they should have. The scorer is being generous today.

Rojas' best line of the day "Four hits....dramatic air quotes"   Dude can be hilarious.

[eligrba4ever]

Who be the 9th for the Halos?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Does Ohtani sign autographs like Trout does?

[Blarg]

No, he uses his own name.

[Vlad27Trout27]

so, by the end of today we will be tied for the best recorder in the Al !!!! it's early but this is good Sign for us.

[happybat4]

4 games in and Troit still doesn't have a walk. Is he being more aggressive?
