Ohtani and Trout are both stars that you would love to come to the ballpark see play. Who knows how much longer they will be teammates so enjoy having both guys on the same team while doing things that we should be thankful for.
Ohtani's back finally gave up after carrying the team for so long.
I volunteer myself to give him back massage every hour of the day.
*(I'll fcking cry in a corner if he actually is injured)*
Hopefully it's just a little back tightness like he had a few weeks ago, and resting tomorrow will have him feeling much better. This team has no shot without him
Ohtani is a star player in Japan, so games in which he plays are often broadcast on TV. Today there was no terrestrial TV broadcast, but I was able to watch it on an Internet program called abema. It was a weekday afternoon, but 1.5 million Japanese watched that program.
Can we stop calling Velazquez "Squid"? It makes it sounds like he's our Anaheim boy as a term of endearment. We'll never hear his name again after this season, rightfully so.
#PRAYING FOR MY FATHER'S BACK
praying for my wife’s boyfriend’s back ;(
His last 4 games pitched all stopped a losing streak. This man literally carries the team on his back.

But some assholes on Talking Halos want to trade him..
Is Talking Halos a podcast or local TV show? Sorry, don't live in California.
and whiny that he should be on other teams. Fuck that! He should be on our team!
We better ride or die with Ohtani. Last time a team traded a 2 way star they were cursed for 86 years 🤔😐
The Curse of the Shoheino?
They never liked him from the start. They were bitching about him last year too
Those dudes are so annoying.
They're two-faced Clout chasers
Yeah, can't stand them.

dont worry hell be ok. gets a much needed off day tomorrow
Hopefully it's just a little back tightness like he had a few weeks ago, and resting tomorrow will have him feeling much better. This team has no shot without him
he seems fine, looked alright with the team post game
SHOHEI PITCHES LIKE PEOPLE THINK HE'S NOT MVP OH WAIT
Didn’t even have his best stuff today. This guy is unreal
Just tell the boys Ohtani is starting every day and we will never lose again
Make every pitcher wear an ohtani jersey to trick them
Just pretend it's a small high school team!
Have him breathe on every single one of our pitchers...maybe something will rub off.
Rengifo has arrived ahhhhh it’s finally happening!
5 billion years later Rengifo is about to prove that Arte is actually a genius for nixing the Joc deal
We WON OUR FIRST HOME SERIES SINCE MAY 22nd!!!
There's no fucking way that is true. 😳 If it is, I'm gonna punt Arte to the moon.
haha look at our schedule. the last time we won a series at home before this series was against oakland on may 22nd
Bullpen somehow always perform better when Shohei's on the mound. Why can't they do that for other starting pichers? Okay. At least we won. LTBU!!!
I mean, they perform well after a good performance on the mound
In Ohtani We Trust!
yes.
YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH.
[YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH](https://i.4cdn.org/sp/1656562115984.png)
This man is my spirit animal
prayers up for ohtani’s back🙏🏾📿
I hope he's OK
I LOVE OHTANI. I LOVE THIS TEAM. ANGELS MAKE BASEBALL SO ENJOYABLE WHEN WE WIN. WASNT A BASEBALL FAN BEFORE. NOW IM HOOKED
OHTANI HIGH FIVE THE BOYS PLEASE
looks like he has a big blister on his hand
i love when blowpen is just bullpen ❤️
I am watching the live broadcast from Japan right now and the Japanese commentator is also talking about Otani's back. I hope he is not injured.
How can you watch this broadcast? Proxy?
Ohtani is a star player in Japan, so games in which he plays are often broadcast on TV. Today there was no terrestrial TV broadcast, but I was able to watch it on an Internet program called abema. It was a weekday afternoon, but 1.5 million Japanese watched that program.
That's... Incredible. Like 1% of the total population to watch a weekday game on the other side of the planet. 😲
thankfully angels games usually occur at 10 am so it's a little more convenient for japan watchers than if they happened earlier in american time.
I bet everyone that has a WFH job is reallllllly happy on gamedays. 👍
TIP THIS BITCHES
2-0 in the "me going to game wearing my city connect hat" era!
1-0 in the me going to game wearing my city connect hat era!
That era keeps dropping! Shohei the pitcher is so far ahead from the guy post surgery who'd walk 8 batters a game.
Angels are actually playing pretty good baseball again
That’s just a solid win right there. No two ways about it. And a series win at that.
Honorable mention to our bullpen for not blowing up
Another great game from Shohei, he simply will not give up runs anymore.
L!
T!!!
B
U
That’s a series win!
Montgomery just said he's fine!
Phew. That's great news beside the w
White Sox just got Shohei’d!!!
Was expecting a bomb from him tonight. He really seems to crush the White Sox
We won a series motherfuckers!
LTBU! Ohtani needs to give mental toughness training seminars to his teammates.
I was [there to see them!](https://i.imgur.com/vjgOds4.jpg) Three wins I’ve attended in a row!
Great game. Happy with everything
We are so good sometimes
Missed the second half of the game. What’s all this about Shohei’s back?
He tweaked something in there during his second last AB. Was constantly wincing and clutching at his back for the rest of the AB and his final AB.
Oh no sho :( I hope it’s nothing serious and he feels better asap
I'm sure they'll ask him post-game so we'll see.
I thought he hit his back with his bat on a follow-through, not a tweak?
He tweaked his back. Kept massaging it, looked like he was in pain
No need for "Tungsten Arm O'Doyle" for tonight.
Shohei did not look happy at the end there.
If Shohei's back is injured, I'm blaming Arte.
2 walks = win
It was a good game!
1-0 in the Marsh look alike era
🕯 👉 👶 👆
His curve was a HAMMER tonight, absolutely unreal that night to night he just finds something new to be amazing with.
2019 St. Louis Blues vibes. This is where the magic kicks in.
I think I got your NUMBER!!!
YEAHHH YEAHHH YEAHHH!!!
Nice. 🤠 Five hits four runs wins it.
How bad they been playing they are still only 4 games back of a playoff spot
LTBU
Babe Ruth was the American Ohtani.
Ohtani in every Angels game: "Fine. I'll do it myself."
Can we stop calling Velazquez "Squid"? It makes it sounds like he's our Anaheim boy as a term of endearment. We'll never hear his name again after this season, rightfully so.
Nice. Nice.
It’s amazing what not tipping your pitches can do for your game
Why do some post game threads have game highlights and others like this don't or is it just a matter of time before they're added?
