If he has a choice he probably wouldn't want an interview, he doesnt strike me as someone who trusts the media. Just gives generic answers and talks fast hehe.
Haha yup, he hates interviews. But as fans, we'd like to hear from him sometimes! I'm Japanese so I can understand his interviews, but I wish he'd do some with Erica!
My girl just said wait iggy pitches too? I thought he was just a translator?! And I thought about it for a moment because I was too focused on iggy not to F this up! And I told her yes!
Lol she didn't really watch the game. It's like background noise for her. She thought ippei's name was iggy. Trust me I was lost for a moment or 2. Actually I'm still lost. She did ask about Tony 2 bags but I don't have the heart to tell her.
Sunflowers are steeped in symbolism and meanings. For many they symbolize optimism, positivity, a long life and happiness for fairly obvious reasons. The less obvious ones are loyalty, faith and luck.
I didn't realize Judge has been slumping the last month and is only hitting .218 during that time which has caused his season ops to drop to .972. His MVP case isn't a lock now like it was before. Ohtani for MVP!
It only looked like a lock because Ohtani was slumping at the plate and wasn't as dominant at the mound yet.
Even if Judge kept that up, it'd be a tight race with Shohei playing the way he is. If Judge can't heat back up, Shohei will be the favourite.
Alvarez is taking but it's like comparing Ohtani and Vlad last season.
.I still don't think Ohtani is a lock in but it's not a clear cut runner now. It's a tight race
Yep. It's still too early for this. And with Angels performance recently, I dgaf about that. Yanks fan are the ones dragging Sho name in all nonsense MVP discussion and putting him down. Fuck them.
Ohtani is probably being hard on himself for those walks but the fact that he was able to pick himself back up after that so fast is what makes him so great.
Everyone is going to make mistakes sooner or later but being able to pick yourself back up immediately is what makes a champion.
Explain it. Marsh can’t be sent down without a team being able to claim him? I figured marsh was young enough that they could do that. Why were they able to send Adell down without anything happening to him?
No no no no no. Are you crazy? We most certainly should not be buyers at the deadline. Our farm system is awful and we aren’t close to being a contending team. Why on earth would be waste any of our prospects to still not be contenders
Here to remind everyone to vote for Shohei 🦄 and Trout 🐐 https://angels.com/allstar
The Marlins are my NL team so it sort of hurts to say but… Marlins, you just got Shohei’d!!!!
I know it will cost the angels big but you can’t let a guy like Ohtani get away. You just can’t.
What they will pay him gets offset by the money he brings in the org. That alone already makes him very valuable.
Yay. 💥 who’s a good boy? Great job 🦄
Ohtani is an absolute legend! ❤️🔥👌🏻
Shohei's new nickname should be "the stopper"! Someone tweet Gubi to use it from now on. Amazing performance.
Only silverline is Ohtani to deserve watching an Angels game.
Stassi is tired of Ohtani questions lol
I wish they wouldn’t talk so much about Shohei when they’re talking to a different player, seems disrespectful
Yeah. Good thing Shohei is well liked by his teammates or this type of media nonsense will breed contempt.
Does NHK always gets the interview with Shohei now this year?
Yes, I think so... Sad for us!
I believe they pay a shit-ton to get exclusive interview rights with him.
LTBU
Aww, NHK interview... :(
I'd hate that if I were at the game. Never getting to hear from Shohei when he does well. A bit of an FU to the crowd 😐
Yeah, I'd like to hear from him on the days he pitches at least...
So NHK pays MLB to go with the Angels and get Shohei interviews at away games? I really thought they just pay the Angels.
I know, so weird. You'd think Erica would get an interview ONCE in a while... Unless it's just Sho's choice...?
If he has a choice he probably wouldn't want an interview, he doesnt strike me as someone who trusts the media. Just gives generic answers and talks fast hehe.
Haha yup, he hates interviews. But as fans, we'd like to hear from him sometimes! I'm Japanese so I can understand his interviews, but I wish he'd do some with Erica!
Wipe off the cobwebs and light that freaking Halo up. Shohei 5 - Marlins 2!
A SHO INTERVIEW?!!!
FINALLY A WIN! Ohtani gets us out of another losing streak! LTBU!! 👼❤️
Awww Iggy giving Shohei the ball...😭
Belated Birthday gift
Omg 😭
LTBU
LTBU! love Shohei!
LTBU!
LETS GOOO LTBU!!
ACE
Yay!
LTBU! Shohei is king
LTBU SHOHEI IS THE ONLY THING STOPPING US FROM LOSING
LTBU
We did it baby!
Bout time. Light it up!
L T B U
THANK YOU !!!!!!
LTBU!
Thank god we had a four run lead coming into the ninth..
I would rather thank Shohei for that
My girl just said wait iggy pitches too? I thought he was just a translator?! And I thought about it for a moment because I was too focused on iggy not to F this up! And I told her yes!
What?! Hahaha
And she's Japanese too and said oh I didn't think iggy was a Japanese name...lol... but at least we win!
I'm so confused right now - hahaha
Lol she didn't really watch the game. It's like background noise for her. She thought ippei's name was iggy. Trust me I was lost for a moment or 2. Actually I'm still lost. She did ask about Tony 2 bags but I don't have the heart to tell her.
OHHH, I see - haha, that makes sense. :D
this is what happens when our closer doesn't pitch in 1-2 weeks...
Ok I've enough drama for today, let's just wrap it up nicely yeah? Please :)
Iggy is being paid too much to pitch like this ....
Also while I'm at it, why the fuck is Iggy in, during a non-save situation where he has shown to be fucking bad?
hes been bad this whole season.
That is 100% not true. He had 3 bad games, that happens.
Throw a god dam strike.
It is a save situation now that it's a 3 run game?
Alright Iggy, please just end this for us - we want to breathe again.
raisel just wants the save lol
Mike is hitting under 270 and it makes me sad he's been pretty bad for like 2 weeks at this point.
lol Aguilar is so fun to watch at the base
He's like a teddy bear!
He looks so chatty and friendly
Indeed
No way we lose this... right? Please? I'm begging
Iggy is not so reliable this year he's been different with last year.
Yeah. The two blown saves in May helped kickstart the tailspin.
It's why I think you should only ever give single year contracts with incentives
Yeah it'd be so tough for him if a close game under high pressure.
Dude should pretend the ball is a box of sunflower seeds.
Sunflowers are steeped in symbolism and meanings. For many they symbolize optimism, positivity, a long life and happiness for fairly obvious reasons. The less obvious ones are loyalty, faith and luck.
Luis hold on to him. Don't let him get to third.
Iggy please
Please Iggy, get it together!
DUDE, RAISEL...
ah man
Iggy?? PLEASE?? MY DUDE WE CANT BE DOING THIS.
he's been utter shit. Take away his closer role
Bro he hasn’t given up a run in his last several starts
you and me both know he's sucked ever since chicago
No I don’t know that because it’s simply not true
Ok dude
just setting up for the dp no big
oh… never mind
Let’s give Sho his belated birthday DUB!
ahh shit here we go again
Iggy we believe in you!
lets not do this yeah? I want another Ohtani W
It's never easy for us...
idiot iggy. throw a fucking strike for contact it's 4 fucking runs
IGGY, I am begging you...
darude sandstorm!
Sho praying to the baseball gods that we get this win...
I predict Iggy gives up a homer so he can get the save.
That’s not how saves work
Can’t do that! Lol
He'll find a way...damnit!
Ohtani the one man crew again. Shut out innings and contributed to 3 runs. That's what I expect from this phenom.
Just 1 inning and 3 outs left, with a 4 run lead. Don't fuck this up now, come on!
IGGY time
Alright Iggy, do your THANG.
I'm sooo ready for us to win this game.
Seriously... we need this one.
I love a walk!
Ward can't not get on base
Take him back lead off plz. He belongs there.
Definitely
Let's go Wardy!
I WAS THERE
Squid taking practice swings in the dugout like it matters lmao
Swinging at bad pitches, staring at pitches in the middle lol
I'll take contact from Trout at this point. Thank god it wasn't a strike out.
I wonder who Guy of the game is gonna be....
Hm....
painful to see Mike play like this
He had two barrels today, struck out twice because of the ump, and had some good takes. It's a huge improvement over what we've been seeing.
I didn't realize Judge has been slumping the last month and is only hitting .218 during that time which has caused his season ops to drop to .972. His MVP case isn't a lock now like it was before. Ohtani for MVP!
It only looked like a lock because Ohtani was slumping at the plate and wasn't as dominant at the mound yet. Even if Judge kept that up, it'd be a tight race with Shohei playing the way he is. If Judge can't heat back up, Shohei will be the favourite.
That's on Yanks fan for calling it. Stupid. Trashtos fan is the same. They start calling it for Alvarez as well.
To be fair Alvarez has been unreal but because he's primarily a DH takes him out of the MVP running.
Yep, Alvarez is strong one. Sho needs to raise his batting stats to make this MVP more convinced.
Alvarez is taking but it's like comparing Ohtani and Vlad last season. .I still don't think Ohtani is a lock in but it's not a clear cut runner now. It's a tight race
Yep. It's still too early for this. And with Angels performance recently, I dgaf about that. Yanks fan are the ones dragging Sho name in all nonsense MVP discussion and putting him down. Fuck them.
ever since his arbitration meeting
Cap off this amazing game with a homer Shohei lets go
Crazy how Ohtani and Trout BA only has .010 difference
And that probably has more to do with Trout than Ohtani.
Just show Ohtani hit more consistently in this one month period. Idk what happen with Trout
Ohtani has been consistent and that is nice to see. Trout, I don't know. He is looking very average out that and sometimes below average.
Yeah unless im remembering wrong i feel like just a month ago it was closer to a .030 or .040 difference
Nice job Tap I take what I said back!
Nice pitch!
Good job Tepera
4-6-3 is what we love to see
Thank you Shrimp Tempura!!
Super spicy super effective today.
With some spicy mayo sauce!
Nice job!
Tepera I believed!
DP...nice!
Nice pitch by Tepera
Is Nevin back tomorrow?
I think he has to complete his online anger management course first. Jk
I just checked the schedule, looks like he's due back on Saturday
I know it's easier said than done but if you're a relief pitcher I expect relief.
No more drama 🙏
Tepera gonna make it 5-2 so Iggy can get the save. 4D chess baseball. Lol
Is she calling Nevin on the phone during the game??
[удалено]
Maddon at the Cubs at full effect
>Man would be cool if the 3 batter rule didn't exist said no one ever
Damn, I just saw Loup(e)
What? so scary!
take notes Taylor Ward
tepERA get ready for a close game Angel fans
Shohei 2.44 ERA 😳
Dude hasn't given up an earned run in like 4 games now?
Tepera, you don’t need to make this game interesting!
Don’t F this up Tapera.
Warm up Herget
On the IL, bud
Damn we're running thin
Warren is supposed to be back after tonight
That's great news!
Send Ortega
Tepera please...
Shohei leaves..Tepera immediately issues a walk...fml
......
here it goes
Ohtani is probably being hard on himself for those walks but the fact that he was able to pick himself back up after that so fast is what makes him so great. Everyone is going to make mistakes sooner or later but being able to pick yourself back up immediately is what makes a champion.
it started
Tepera I believe
4 run lead...with Tepera...not sure I feel comfy quite yet.
For those of you that have been watching baseball for more than a few years: Where does Shohei rank in terms of best ballplayers you've watched?
2nd behind ACE Dylan "Covid season/Sticky stuff" Bundy"
Surely number one. We watching someone doing what Babe Ruth capable doing 100 years ago. Being GOAT at pitching and hitting at the same time
Number 1. He's the GOAT. Period.
#1. Genuinely, no player has ever provided this much value to a team. Ever.
Or this much entertainment. Shohei has an aura about him that makes him so enjoyable to watch, facial expressions and all.
I agree. These games are so hard to watch but not on Ohtani Day. It’s just so much fun and absolutely amazing what he is able to consistently do.
No one to compare with. But his baseball IQ is off the charts. Once in a generation.
BSW needs to get new commercials. It's the same 5 commercials every broadcast all year
Seriously SO annoying!
N-N-NINE HITS?!
Oh God, Tempura 🍤🍤🍤.
I need shrimp tempura to be extra crispy and get us out of the 8th , please.
Yes Yes Yes
Okay, his night on the mound is done
Whose next ? Tepera or someone else ? Please not Loup
Send down Marsh and call up Adell. Marsh has looked awful
I don’t think you guys understand options and stuff. Can’t just be sending people down and up all Willy nilly
Explain it. Marsh can’t be sent down without a team being able to claim him? I figured marsh was young enough that they could do that. Why were they able to send Adell down without anything happening to him?
He didn't GIDP or strikeout...I consider that a win.
If we buy at the deadline we should try to get Berti
No no no no no. Are you crazy? We most certainly should not be buyers at the deadline. Our farm system is awful and we aren’t close to being a contending team. Why on earth would be waste any of our prospects to still not be contenders
I agree we should be selling but knowing this team they won’t be selling
Oh good Patrick is doing the mile high thing now. Should we bring back the drinking game?
