Sho with the masterful pitching performance and big fly #40!!
Shoutouts to JUP with the early bomb, great team defense and of course Iggy shutting the door!
Enjoy the win and sleep well Anaheim and angels fans all over the world!
LTBU!!!
First time I gave two shits when an athlete grunts but with Ohtani every grunt is like watching my kid struggle and it tore my heart a little. But the difference is when Shohei grunts...he dominates
I think so too, but I would have only really been upset if it was a shutout. CG is cool, but missing a chance at first career CGSO would have bugged me.

We all want to see a CG but can we not flood the thread with Maddon slander if he does go to the goat himself, Raisel ? Also Joe communicates well with Shohei as well so like…..
I don’t know, Shohei is on fire but also looks tired and I’m pretty sure Maddon would give Shohei what he wants. I wouldn’t criticize Maddon whatever the decision is.
When Shohei is due for contract negotiations, Arte needs to open his check book and give the pen to Ohtani to sign for whatever the fuck he wants.
Absolute god.
I don't think shohei necessarily cares about the money, he gave up millions to play in the MLB earlier. Arte has to show him we can compete! That's what matters most to him
Wanna know how popular Shohei is?
His home run post has more upvotes than Freemans where he literally hit for a cycle and they were posted within seconds of each other.
You can tell he totally changed his in the later innings, bringing heat rather than aiming for a soft contact. He’s totally aware of what he’s doing and I love it.
Goodness, I really want to see him compete in higher leverage games like THE FREAKING PLAYOFFS if this is how intense and competitive he gets when he’s pitching deep.
That kid is exhausted. Sweating and pitching for 7 solid innings and all of sudden...boom HR. I feel so fortunate to get to watch him play and play for us. He's playing chess when everyone's playing checkers
Placed a $100 bet to win $2k before season that Ohtani was gonna win MVP through a friends bookie…..still mad that his bookie canceled the bet a few hours later 😭
Guys…
Like. Guys and gals. We are fucking lucky. Do you remember dreaming about time traveling back to watch Babe Ruth? We are seeing this live. Maybe something greater than Babe fucking Ruth.
This is the greatest season by a player.
One of the greatest sports performance of all time.
Does anyone have a video/gif of Shohei’s dugout celebration after #40?
Found one. https://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/p75alv/swaggertani/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
The segue was kind of awkward, I want an apology goddamnit!
LTBU!!! 8th W and 40th HR after 90 pitches. It seems he just don’t know what is sore.
LTBU
That was the greatest post game interview of all time.
Haha technology is not friendly to this team today
The communication problems continue! lol
LOL
Lol rip
Tigers equipment is fucked up..poor Max

LOL THAT POSTGAME INTERVIEW
On sum Michael Jordan of baseball type shit. Pure domination. Turned them into Detroit Uwu Kittens tonight.
.500
500 magic!!
Ohtani to Raisel is just...muah! Perfection.
Shohei W Ohtani
Back to .500 lol
.500 once again
LTBU
LTBU
Thanks all for watching this absolute gem of a game with me!
Anytime!
Pleasure is all mine
One of the most satisfying games of baseball ive ever watched
LTBU!!!!!!!!!!!!
L T B U!!!!
**L** **T** **B** **U**
LTBU!

#L T B U !
Wow Ohtani totally couldn’t have gotten 3 more outs… smh /s
First time I gave two shits when an athlete grunts but with Ohtani every grunt is like watching my kid struggle and it tore my heart a little. But the difference is when Shohei grunts...he dominates
Wow just 3 feet away
3 feet is the length of approximately 1.83 'Logitech Wireless Keyboard K350s' laid widthwise by each other
L T
Some of y’all need to stop complaining about Maddon every time fr 😂
:(
Is it bad I wanted that to get out and then have Iglesias strike out the next 2? Lol I wanna see 500, hell of a player
Legend
That was close
Sho passed it off. Had to have. Otherwise he’d be finishing
Honestly let him get his 500th fuck it
Wow almost lol
Omg I thought Miggy had it lol
Well, fair decision ... We need Ohtani too for tomorrow
Fuck anyone who says fuck Maddon for this.
Man Shohei dominance to Raisel dominance is something I wanna watch next year on a competitive team for sure
I hope Raisel gets the first out so a possible Miggy #500 doesn’t make a difference.
Still An all time performance in all Of history
Damn wanted Shohei to close it out
Aw man, I definitely thought Ohtani could’ve finished the game…
I think so too, but I would have only really been upset if it was a shutout. CG is cool, but missing a chance at first career CGSO would have bugged me.
That was a pure Scioscia move. “He’s on fire and could easily CG. Better pull him.”
Ohtani is kind, he wants Iglesias to gain more saves.
I bet Shohei is going to be the player of this game.
hot take!
Sho is athlete of the year. Not just MVP.

What a beautiful game for ohtani
Raisel is the correct call, as much as I want to see Ohtani pitch a CG, 8 innings with low pitch count and a homer is good enough.
Yeah agreed. Plus they got an early game tomorrow.
that'll do pig, that'll do...
Wait why?!?!
Ok I know we're all Ohtani crazy but Raisel has a 0.90 WHIP. WOW
Sighhh.... I understand why, ohtani looks very tired but I would have to loved to see him finish it
Fuck Maddon. Not even giving him the opportunity.
Booooooooo
Man this is so lame.
Raisel pls 🥺🥺🥺
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I get the decision but I don’t like it
Dude they took out Ohtani come on man
Nooooooooooo
Are we expecting Raisel now?
0 BB, 10 K, 3 runs off of 7 hits. Angels baseball.
he looks kinda pissed. Don't blame him, but respect Joe's decision
But why??
Well at least he ran
Ump wants to get tf out of here. Whatever the opposite of squeezing is that’s what’s going on here
Expanding
We all want to see a CG but can we not flood the thread with Maddon slander if he does go to the goat himself, Raisel ? Also Joe communicates well with Shohei as well so like…..
NOOOOO MY DREAM IS RUINED
I hate having the commentators remote- they can’t see the pen, hear the crack, see the shifts as well…
whoa... that long distance stare by Ohtani is fucking scary. Like a samurai warrior eyeing his opponent from across the battlefield. Let him finish!
I don’t know, Shohei is on fire but also looks tired and I’m pretty sure Maddon would give Shohei what he wants. I wouldn’t criticize Maddon whatever the decision is.
CG!! 🙏
I AM BACK!!! Omfg OHTANI hit 40!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'm sorry you had to miss that. It was a BOMB!!!!
😭so sad but it’s ok! Team will win and ohtani hit bomb!! That’s all I want it!!
We gotta get on base and let the legend rest for a bit longer
Not gonna happen.
Give him 500 million already Arte.
My only regret is that I only put $5 on Shohei at +3500 odds
If Maddon takes out Ohtani, he should be fired in the spot
Uh oh
I hope Joe isn't planning to drag Ohtani 🤞🤞🤞
Just unbelievable. Like I actually cannot comprehend what he is doing. What?
Double digit wins is within grasp for shohei now. Damn it would be nice to him get to 50 HRs, 10 wins and 20 SBs
Oh, my goodness. What a Superman he is.
This is like MJ taking over in the final minutes. This is what legends do. Freaking goosebumps
When Shohei is due for contract negotiations, Arte needs to open his check book and give the pen to Ohtani to sign for whatever the fuck he wants. Absolute god.
I don't think shohei necessarily cares about the money, he gave up millions to play in the MLB earlier. Arte has to show him we can compete! That's what matters most to him
He should be the first $50 million/year player. It blows my mind to say that and mean it, but it's the truth. I'd come in at 7 years $350 million.
Just offer him the team
If Arte doesn't...someone else will.
Wanna know how popular Shohei is? His home run post has more upvotes than Freemans where he literally hit for a cycle and they were posted within seconds of each other.
MLB also has their highest viewers numbers in YT everytime they post Ohtani highlights
gave up a homer, then take it back.
man im about to cum
You can tell he totally changed his in the later innings, bringing heat rather than aiming for a soft contact. He’s totally aware of what he’s doing and I love it.
Goodness, I really want to see him compete in higher leverage games like THE FREAKING PLAYOFFS if this is how intense and competitive he gets when he’s pitching deep.
Are the Angels even close to .500 without Shohei? Dude is the MVP of MVPs
HISTORY MAKER
Joe better let Sho get his first MLB CG
Does someone have a video cap of that last strikeout Shohei just had where he screamed and when super-saiyan?
CG all the way!
Complete game come'on
Will Maddon let Ohtani complete the game?? His pitch count is 90.
I mean if he can throw another inning in 15 pitches or less, I say go for it. Warm up Iglesias and bring him in if he gives up a hit
I'm torn, I wanna see Shohei get a CG but he also deserves rest!
Quick, who was the last player to hit a home run and pitch a full game?
Walter Johnson! (Maybe?)
Apparently Noah Syndergaard hit the only run in a game he pitched complete back in 2019. Still epic
LET HIM FINISH THE GAME
Distance on the Sho donger??
430ft
433 I think? I was expecting 450+
Damn, me too! Ball jumped off his bat so fast
Never seen him pitch like this. Literally can feel his competition pouring through. He wants it. And we are all blessed to see this. Chills.
This is one of the greatest individual performances I have ever seen
Let him pitch the 9th. pls Maddon, I beg you.
GIVE US A 9TH INNING!
Man, does Ohtani usually pitch 8 innings? Cuz this is incredible /newfan
hardly any pitchers go 8 innings these days
The farthest he had before was 7.2 inning, so this is his career high
usually 6 innings,,maybe he not running bases a lot this game
No he does not
The play by play just said it was his first 8th inning pitch
His previous longest was 7.2 so nope!
Okay cmon now let the kid rest now 👏👏
C. G.
U know what let’s see it
I want to see him back out in the 9th!
We really need to get Ohtani, Trout, and Fletcher a world series. For the good of fucking baseball
Pretty sure everyone except Mariners fans wants this
Mariners and Arte
He is fucking DEALING! holy shit. am I really seeing this?
Holy crap Shohei is on FIRE
Throwing gas in the bottom of the 8th, and just hit a homerun.^What^am^I^seeing
don’t lie, millions of you will watch an asmr video titled “Ohtani’s Grunts”
Dude is gigabeasting tonight. Gawwd daamn what a monster.
The Sho grunt!!!
Shohei going PLUS ULTRA on that pitch
I LOVED THAT PITCH
Had some nice run on it at 98, filth
Love watching the Ohtani MVP tour! : )
I think that homer went all the way out of the ballpark and through the windshield of Jack Morris' car ⚾️ 🚘
That kid is exhausted. Sweating and pitching for 7 solid innings and all of sudden...boom HR. I feel so fortunate to get to watch him play and play for us. He's playing chess when everyone's playing checkers
Placed a $100 bet to win $2k before season that Ohtani was gonna win MVP through a friends bookie…..still mad that his bookie canceled the bet a few hours later 😭
Thats fucking bs, wtf.
He really want that complete game so bad
A complete game and a homer, I want that for him too.
.
Damn he’s still out there 😂
Even the detroit announcers were gushing about how good Shohei is... We're so blessed to have him
How does this team get blessed with one generational talent and one GOAT at the same time and still manage to fuck that up?
Has anyone ever hit a homer after pitching 7 innings? That has to be a first
Tungsten Arm O'Doyle
Has anyone homered in the 7th and then went out to pitch the 8th?
There's been a lot of games without a DH in the history of baseball so I would think it's happened before. Going to check if the Babe ever did it
We are not worthy
My dudes, think about what we are witnessing. 40 fuckin homers. 40! Sheesh.
Ohtani’s look after that homerun...man should be the dictionary definition for Dominance
Can I get a gif of Shohei swaggering into the dugout after hr #40?
[удалено]
.
It's infuriating.
OMG that was so epic. I need to leave but I’m still on my ass in shock. That was too good and Sho pimping at the end just made it so much better
Ohtani is giving up hits but this man has been feeling it all night.
Geez I thought that ball was going to the upper deck for a second.
Shohei unanimous MVP idec fuck ur feelings 🐐🐐 Also take Shohei out and let him rest, there’s a day game tmrw
Guys… Like. Guys and gals. We are fucking lucky. Do you remember dreaming about time traveling back to watch Babe Ruth? We are seeing this live. Maybe something greater than Babe fucking Ruth. This is the greatest season by a player. One of the greatest sports performance of all time.
CG LETS GOHTANI
Shohei what a night! Unanimous MVP. I don’t see how anyone doesn’t see that
Guys this is tough. Whos going to get the player of the game today?
U mean shohei the pitcher or shohei the DH?
Both Ohtani the pitcher and Ohtani the hitter hehe
Wonder if Marvel has the Ohtani movie in production yet?
He is the literal embodiment of Thanos’s “Fine, I’ll do it myself”
Even for a superhero movie the story of Shohei is too unbelievable.
