[daygloman]

Far out!

Someone was actually in New York watching. 

I'm FLOORED!

Save some for later!

Oralé!

[JAHV76]

Wow Rivera very impressive this season.

[Blarg]

Just so you guys know this is the ESPN National game. Ohtani is now legend even on the East Coast.

[Angelsfirst]

Ohtani with a 3 hit game!  What a debut in Anaheim. 

[Warfarin]

Rivera was a great under-the-radar pickup by Eppler.  Last year, we didn't really have a legitimate #2 catcher, so we literally had to trot Maldonado out there daily during the stretch drive.  Nice to know we have a good backup now who can let Maldonado rest from time to time.

That scout that Jeff Passan found should probably quit his day job. 

That scout was Jerry Dipoto....

The yellow line in 2017 would have increased the home runs in Anaheim by 17. That was all Billy needed to hear.

Ohtani batting .444 while striking out a batter per inning

[Blarg]

He really is the Japanese Babe Ruth.

On the same night that Yankee fans booed Stanton for K'ing 5 times.

And he seems to be happy and having a lot of fun.... 

[AngelsFaninGA]

And we've still given up only the one hit

[daygloman]

Light up the Halo!

Go Halos!

[bloodbrother]

6 games in and already this is one of the best games of the season for the Angels. That Ohtani HR legit sparked the whole team and they never let up after that

[Chuck]

Worked late, just got home.

After reading some of this thread....

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!!!

SHO-TIME brings the bat and lowers the boom on Cleveland!!

GR recovers from an early hiccup.

Trout, Rivera and friends have a party!!!

This is the most entertaining the team has been since 2009. Easily IMO

[JAHV76]

Great game tonight!
