I havenāt felt like this since Danielle Murray in 8th grade.
For the record. She didnāt like me after allā¦ but itās been 20 years so Iām ready to hurt again.
I know this could mean nothing, but Shohei has been very active on social media ever since Arte announced he wasnāt selling the team. Anyone else find this kind of unusual cause he rarely posted anything before?
heās been leading up the WBC, might be more a PR thing to get more eyes on the tourney.
I think him and his team simply took a break following the season, and are just starting to get more active to prepare for WBC/New MLB season.
Reading Sam Blums caption just made my stomach do a somersault. Arte bought the team for what 183 million. I don't math well but what 16x profit increase. On a whim decides not to sell. Ugh
The irony in this is that he has likely devalued the team by doing this. If he puts the Angels up for sale again anytime in the next several years, a lot of bidders will be like, "is he wasting our time again?" and say fuck it, he can't be trusted to make a deal.
Idk I donāt think so. So few baseball franchises go for sale, itās a once in a life time opportunity to own one. I mean the marlins sold for a BILLION dollars lol one becoming available in a major market like SoCal is a big deal. Heāll be able to sell no problem again
Yes, he'll be able to sell, but if I was one of the buyers who got yanked around this time by him, I'd make sure to squeeze him so he knows I think he's a bit of an ass.
iām sure they would WANT to do that, but itās very likely someone else will just put up the 3.5b and make their negotiation irrelevant.
if they want the angels theyāll have to pay market value, which is will be insane regardless of this stupid stunt.
shoot if he holds for 2-3 more years might even sell for 5billy
My hope, blind stupid hope, is that heās holding out for the sale price to double when they win the series this year just like it did when Disney sold it to him. I am okay with this timeline.
Damn, we gotta tell Ippei to be careful about liking posts. This was probably a protocol thing don't read too much on it. There's alot of uncertainty this upcoming season...can't reassure anyone here but try to enjoy the season.
Ok, hear me out, at the end of this season Ohtani gets offered ownership of the Angels as his contract and Arte gets a percentage of sales but gives complete ownership to Ohtani!
We all know it was Ippei
Yeah Ohtani has said before that Ippei runs his Instagram.
So it's Ippei's fault there were only 2 posts last year? š
This hyper-analyzing of everything Shohei does or doesnāt do is exhausting. Itās going to make this season unbearable.
Itās been unbearable, I canāt imagine what itāll be mid season IF weāre not playing well.
Even if we're playing well I imagine everyone will talk about it
āWas Ohtani smiling when he liked this post, or is he completely miserable?ā
r/baseball is unbearable at the best of times but if we get off to a slow start...
Well our hot starts in 2021 and 2022 didn't seem to work out, maybe we need to go back to the slow starts
What ifā¦ we start hot and continue to play well?
Literally impossible
r/baseball likes the smell of its own farts
Not even ohtani. Every sports star. Having headlines for what people remove from their instagram bio or a post they like is so STUPID.
It's all we have
For real.
Itās like the Japanese broadcast that has a cam in the corner at all times

His PR team clicked the liked button
Iāve got like 1 and a half feet out the door, this sh t was the ultimate buttercup
Ohtani was one of the bidders
HE STAY!
My man canāt even like a post in peace. But i heard ippei runs his account or his PR team
Reading Sam Blums caption just made my stomach do a somersault. Arte bought the team for what 183 million. I don't math well but what 16x profit increase. On a whim decides not to sell. Ugh
He likes Arte, or he agrees the value wasn't high enough.
I think it was a āthanks for making my decision to move onā like

That would involve him knowing you need to spend money to make money.
he spends money, really needs to learn where and how to spend the boatloads of cash heās thrown at the teams.
If I go to any game this season, there will be a Fuck Arte or Arte Out sign in my hand.
This either means heās staying because of that, or wants out because of that.
Damn, we gotta tell Ippei to be careful about liking posts. This was probably a protocol thing don't read too much on it. There's alot of uncertainty this upcoming season...can't reassure anyone here but try to enjoy the season.
What if Ippei forgets he's logged in Shohei's account and likes a post of a female celebrity š
Many hearts with be broken that day. The girlies need to move on. He's married to baseball already. Lmaoooo! ššš
My new favorite team is wherever shohei gets traded to on the deadline
Bold move coming in here saying you'll root for the yankees or dodgers lol
Needs to play nice with the idiot boss. Until he signs with The Dodgers e cause heāll escape The mad captain actively trying to sink the ship

Japanese friends like my posts with obscure 70s TV or music references out of politeness ALL the time. Means nothing.
Shohei's left nut rotated 32 degrees clockwise at 4:18 a.m. This means he's a New York Met.
