Gameday Thread: 8/27 Rockies @ Angels: Ohtani hitting cleanup

[disarcina]

great. called strike three when the situation clearly calls for putting the ball in play............

[fan_since79]

Cowart is thrown into the fire, batting .145

[disarcina]

Marte finally at second.

would have help last batter.

oh well, now a single scores two

It wouldn’t have helped last batter when he struck out looking.

Kaleb avoids the out. Rally still lives.

[fan_since79]

Lol, he walks Cowart.

[disarcina]

walk a thon --

little league world series hurlers had better control than the folks we're watching tonight.

[eligrba4ever]

Where's Upton's wine cellar when you need it?

[disarcina]

Stradling -- true  as it turned out  - but it avoids the double play ball and would likely have meant a ground ball scores a run (with Ohtani at third -- not going to nail him at the plate unless it's a sharp groundball right at the infielder).  and the hitter should have put the ball in play rather than looking a CALLED strike three.

Ohtani has massive potential as a hitter.

Let him hit every day and compete with Trout for MVP.

Don't take risks with that elbow that has already had issues.

Ohtani wants to pitch ... get that through your head

[disarcina]

EY JR -- let's go.

base hit scores two.

[disarcina]

I'd shut down Ohtani on the mound for 2018?

why risk it?

Halos not going anywhere in the standings.

[disarcina]

what was Ohtani's maximum IP in a season in Japan??

[disarcina]

EY Jr battling

[disarcina]

OH -- OH NO -- a walk perhaps?

[fan_since79]

EY Jr comes through!!!

 

[eligrba4ever]

EYJ!!!! Angels 8-7.

[disarcina]

great AB by EY Jr.

he battled the pitcher all the way -- and had he walked -- he would have earned it.

base hit - two runs.

only problem now is that our pen has to get three outs.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I Facking love seeing EYJ happy.

 

Love that guy.

[fan_since79]

He was as cold as ice until an inning ago, now 2-2!!

Gotta love baseball.

[disarcina]

EY Jr. a sort of a 5-A player these days.......but GEEZ. he plays hard. works at it.

we need to find a roster spot for him -- all season. as long as he doesn't lose a step on the base paths.

[eligrba4ever]

Rox relievers are meeting their expectations, apparently. Black is pushing his starters to cover for the pen, but it doesn't always work out.

[disarcina]

4-A player -- oh well. you know what I meant.

[eligrba4ever]

EYJr. 2 for 23. But the 2 count.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Noe Ramirez is gonna close it out.

 

 

HAHAHA
