Nice to hear Hudler on the KC broadcast

Ohtani looking immortal on the mound and mortal at the plate.

He seems much more subdued these days.

He’s allowed to be annoyed about getting thrown way inside so much and getting hit as a result.

yarbrough should offer to stand in the box and take a few in the ribs if he wants to take exception

Disagree.  Curveballs that sweep all the way across the strike zone don’t count as getting thrown inside.  There’s no intent there.  He had plenty of time to get out of the way.  

[T.G.]

That was fun to watch

Send him out for another inning, Nevin!

Even if he doesn't, what a night!  7 shutout innings, only 2 H, 2 BB, 11 K!

[Jason]

Ohtani was all over the place that inning but still managed to be badass

Broadcasting for the royals will likely do that to you

Great performance by Shohei the Pitcher tonight. Shortens the job for the pen.

[Kampy]

what a beast. even when his ball control started to slip that last inning, he still manages to K the last 6 hitters he faced. Unbelievable. And looked disappointed in himself as he walked off. 

[Blarg]

Three stinking hits? That's all the Angels have managed is three hits and two runs, and those came in the 2nd inning? 

Nevin needs to motivate these schmucks before they sleep their way to last place.

Being on the east coast right now really makes me appreciate the pitch clock, this game is flying by.

 

Thank you, Manfred!

[jsnpritchett]

Nice to see an easy 1-2-3 inning from Estevez!  Only his 2nd one this year.

[eligrba4ever]

Estevez does the job to set up for a closer.
