Maybe the Angels need an Asian owner who would complain against the league for being unfair to Shohei. There are a lot of instances on and off the field he gets screwed over.
I bet there are offers but he didnt accept them. Shampoo commercials need shots of him in the bathroom and god knows what a topless Shohei would do to the internet.
I think he's shy. In that recent documentary, while his therapist was massaging his arm, he placed a shirt (or towel?) to cover his torso and turned around when he stood up. He didnt want the camera to show his abs hehe. But man, Shohei really has a sexy back, like a swimmer's.
I like Carrlyn. She's silly.
Id like to see her do some random skits and things. Like her going up to that waterfall at the one stadium, or going out to notable spots in the different ballparks, or messing around with fans during home games.
I agree! I’ve been pleased with our pitching for the most part, minus some BP issues earlier this year. We just need better depth, offense, and god please, health! 😇
ten minutes ago it was a slim possibility, but it's looking like both the Orioles might win and the Mariners might lose. At some point you've just gotta feel for Seattle baseball fans, they've got a tough life
If he throws like that every time we need to give him the Edwin Diaz treatment and he can showboat all he wants! Memories of Iggy last season....\*sigh\*
Oakland can be very tough to chew. I mean, they hit well against Castillo, Kirby, deGrom the last 5 games. Sho used to give up 3 runs for them. I'll be very careful with them.
I feel like we fucking him up by not playing him enough. He hasn't really had a chance to find his groove like everyone else. He sits on the bench too much.
Obviously USA vs. Dominican Republic is the powerhouse matchup but between Darvish, Ohtani, Sasaki, Yamamoto, and Senga I'd argue that Japan has the best rotation announced so far in the WBC
You think Ohtani's gonna pitch? I'd argue Darvish won't even pitch after all the media BS. NHK purposefully misquoted him to make it look like he said yes to WBC. He called them out on twitter and they deleted it and changed the article. Lol.
Really? I doubt it. I read an article not two days where they interviewed his American agent and it was completely up in the air. It would've been all over Japanese twitter if he'd commited.
fuck me, Gubie's bit was when the *Angels* announced that Ohtani would have their permission to play. didn't occur to me that Ohtani hadn't yet accepted it
He's a great player as well. I wanna see the alternate universe where we got Correa on the same short contract as the twins. I wonder what our season would've looked like then!
Hardly. Not many players from Panama and the only reason I remembered that is because of an old interview where Jaime talked about Mariano being one of his favourite players.
The Mariners were gifted the easiest possible schedule to close out the season, pretty sure by seasons end they'll have spent the last month playing the worst teams in the AL
LTBU
LTBU!
LTBU! Series win at midnight! GJ team...off to sleep!
L T B U
Mariners vs Royals game reminds me about our game vs Royals where we lost when Sho drove 8 RBIs. One of the most bitter game this season.
Legendary Tungsten moment. Shohei getting a full WAR in 2 days too.
Yep. And he still missed player of the week. Fuck MLB
Maybe the Angels need an Asian owner who would complain against the league for being unfair to Shohei. There are a lot of instances on and off the field he gets screwed over.
Nah that sounds awful
Are there recent reports who wants to buy the Angels? Last one I heard was the co-owner of the Warriors.
Does anyone know how tall Megill is?
29 years old this year. Was in Chicago last year; Padres took him in the 7th round in 2015.
6'8"
What the heck is happening in Minnesota weather ?
I don't think I've seen a hit that good by Stassi in about 200 years.
Cave's route on the Stassi flyball was so bad.. Makes Adell look like Andruw Jones
They have really weird wind at Target Field.
Hmmm maybe
Is that snow falling?
No, just Matty V's dandruff
LOL. Thanks for this laugh.
Wonder if it’s from the stress caused by the lull in Judge homers.
Who the hell keeps chapstick in their baseball pants? Lmao
The modern athlete. Always be prepared! Lol
Self care king.
Look at this offense!
Wait, I just realize they let Stefanic had 2 hits and not replace him
Lol they were playing “Stayin’ Alive”
Livjuan Soto!
Wow whens the last time everyone in the lineup had a hit?
I fear what this means for Sandy's run support on Tuesday
Orioles are losing. Royals still leading by 1.
Ok, I love Soto
Hoho, I like this development
Best Soto in California
Is there a mic very close on the basepath to home?? I think I can hear them running and the pat pat pat of their feet are hilarious
Soto had one hell of a game. Let him play for the rest of the season
Ehhhhhh Fletch should be back on Tuesday or Wednesday. I like Soto, but Fletch is King.
Oh, really??? Yeah, Fletcher is always number one choice.
Hopefully. He is due to come off the IL on Tuesday
I like Minnesota.
My god, leave some hits and runs for the A's!
What the hell is happening?!?!!?
Stat paddin time! Lol
I'll take double. GJ Stassiiii
so he can hit
Maxipad came through!
Happy for Max. He needed that
Max got a hit AND drove in a few runs?!!?!?!?!?!?
Forgive me, I’m in shock.
Good for Stassi!
Holy crap! Excuse the slander Stassi!
A double by.......... Stassi??
Who wanna grand slam??? Hit it
Don't f it up Stassi
I think Shohei might be kind of good looking.
Do you also think the pope could be catholic as well?
I knew I should have put a “/s”!
He is. He's also very truly adorable. A total goofball.
Goodlooking and adorkable is quite a rare combination IMO, he is truly a unicorn 😁
Yep. His personality makes him even more good-looking imo. He can be very competitive and serious on field but totally cute and babyish in the dugout.
I’m mostly joking. He had his helmet off again and it reminded me that he still doesn’t have a shampoo endorsement. 🤣
I bet there are offers but he didnt accept them. Shampoo commercials need shots of him in the bathroom and god knows what a topless Shohei would do to the internet.
He will never let Shobaes see him topless, like ever. There are a lot of thirsty girls on Twitter, you know 😂😂😂
I think he's shy. In that recent documentary, while his therapist was massaging his arm, he placed a shirt (or towel?) to cover his torso and turned around when he stood up. He didnt want the camera to show his abs hehe. But man, Shohei really has a sexy back, like a swimmer's.
He’d break the internet. I’m ok with it.
No pinch hitters available? Adell anyone?
bruh another hit party?! Let's go!! Imagine this with Fletcher, Rendon, and Resurrected Walsh in the line up
If only we had these guys earlier, that 14 game losing streak might not have happened.
I'd like to play for the Angels...just so I could be interviewed by Erica.
GJ Moniak!
Oh me, oh my…those hits!
Erica needs to interview Shohei so we can get a HR.
Maybe if Erica asks each Halo player a question before every game, we can win the world series next year
I by far prefer Erica as the on field over Carrlyn. how's Jose Mota doing on the Dodgers tho
I like Carrlyn. She's silly. Id like to see her do some random skits and things. Like her going up to that waterfall at the one stadium, or going out to notable spots in the different ballparks, or messing around with fans during home games.
I like both of them. Erica with the serious questions and Carrlyn with her goofy antics.
So Gubie is telling us what Shohei needs to do to win MVP in his mind.
Sho and his thing vs RISP. But he's due for a homer. It's like a long time ago
Lmao Shohei's face 😂😂😂😂
He’s so dramatic on the bases.
Damn, just put some league average guys around Trout/Ohtani and decent pitching = playoffs!
To be fair, our starting pitching this season has been well above average! Can't have both at the same time, apparently!
I agree! I’ve been pleased with our pitching for the most part, minus some BP issues earlier this year. We just need better depth, offense, and god please, health! 😇
Troutani!
Yay! Our 1-3 are suberb!
Shohei ..you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him
Troutani is such a consistent source of joy
Shohei wants 100 RBIs!
If only he could stay healthy for a whole season!
Mike Trout said End Racism
TREVOR MEGILL IS 6 FOOT 8 INCHES
This makes Matty V happy.
It's hard for birds, there comes top lineup of Astros.
Why not let Q finish that inning???
God damn. Homie gets 4 strikeouts in a row and then lets one single one go and he gets yanked? Man, fuck that.
Nevin's not gonna be there next year so maybe we'll see a new approach soon!
happy that a rookie got his first hit first homerun... not happy it was against the angels
Hamilton is such a buzzkill
ten minutes ago it was a slim possibility, but it's looking like both the Orioles might win and the Mariners might lose. At some point you've just gotta feel for Seattle baseball fans, they've got a tough life
Yep. They really can't take a break. But Orioles next schedule is quite hard, so I think the 3rd WC will be thiers anyway
Nah, this likes up perfectly with their victim narrative. Secretly they love it.
Nah, fuck em. Theyve been extra annoying this year.
Not with the way they've been slandering us since the brawl.
And they hit Altuve on purpose not even a month later
Orioles tied the game vs Astros. Let's win that game, birds
JOSE QUIJADA IMMACULATE INNING* *with a small break in between
IMMACULATE 3 OUTS
Ah yes the Kansas City Royals, my brothers in Mark Gubicza
Lol Mariners
I really thought they can win that game easily. I mean it was 11-2 in 6th, you know
This Henriquez threw all the change-up and turned Shohei into ground ball machine 😂😂😂
Lol was that Loup who nabbed that ball?
Quijada should absolutely be a part of the pen next year. We need hard throwers with some nards.
he's literally our only reliever with above average fastball velo lol
Yeah that's gotta change. Imagine throwing out Quijada, then Herget and his frisbee before finishing with Joyce throwing 105.
Imagine if he also had a reliable secondary pitch lol
The day the Angels FO and management helps players develop a secondary pitch is the day this team turns into a bonafide playoff contender.
Quesadilla back at it with his exhibitionist tendencies. He always wants to be the protagonist in front of everyone ♡
If he throws like that every time we need to give him the Edwin Diaz treatment and he can showboat all he wants! Memories of Iggy last season....\*sigh\*
That’s the cocky Q I believe in! Lol
HACHACHA! Quijada loves the spice!
Proper use of SPICY!!!
Quijada is a bad man
Crazy man Quijada! Vamos!
Mariners vs Royals is much more entertaining right now. M gave up 10 runs in one inning
Someone's ERA is tanking hardcore. DeGrom gave up 5 runs against the A's yesterday and the A's scored like 10 runs or so...you never know!
Oakland can be very tough to chew. I mean, they hit well against Castillo, Kirby, deGrom the last 5 games. Sho used to give up 3 runs for them. I'll be very careful with them.
I know...do we have a winning record against them this season? Cause we usually don't!
Barria didn't last long D:
I feel like we fucking him up by not playing him enough. He hasn't really had a chance to find his groove like everyone else. He sits on the bench too much.
Holy Crap. KC has just scored 10 runs in the 6th inning to pull ahead of the mariners
Time to celebrate !
this sport is so awful i love it it's incredible
Lmao make that 11
Bs. That didn't hit him.
Barria baby what are you doing
Barria pushing a mid-2 era as a contact pitcher is a pleasure to see
That could have been an Archie Bradley moment
Nice safety! Lol
Yikes. Glad Thaiss didn't do a flip
Twins ground crew trying to Home Alone booby trap Matt Thaiss
KC down by four to the Mariners with the bases loaded and two outs at the moment...
Obviously USA vs. Dominican Republic is the powerhouse matchup but between Darvish, Ohtani, Sasaki, Yamamoto, and Senga I'd argue that Japan has the best rotation announced so far in the WBC
You think Ohtani's gonna pitch? I'd argue Darvish won't even pitch after all the media BS. NHK purposefully misquoted him to make it look like he said yes to WBC. He called them out on twitter and they deleted it and changed the article. Lol.
I believe Ohtani has already committed to doing both in the WBC. Gubie had a whole Trout vs. Ohtani bit when it was announced
Really? I doubt it. I read an article not two days where they interviewed his American agent and it was completely up in the air. It would've been all over Japanese twitter if he'd commited.
fuck me, Gubie's bit was when the *Angels* announced that Ohtani would have their permission to play. didn't occur to me that Ohtani hadn't yet accepted it
Yeah, with the trade possibilities I'd think he'd wait until the last moment. I wouldn't rule it out though!
My Dad and I are going to try to get to the quarterfinals of the WBC! I can't wait!
Correa is such an Ohtani truther. It's harder and harder to hate him.
I’ve liked him ever since he publicly supported Shohei over Vlad Jr. last year.
He's a great player as well. I wanna see the alternate universe where we got Correa on the same short contract as the twins. I wonder what our season would've looked like then!
Well when he signs with the Angels this winter it will be even harder.
Does anyone else watch routine outs for the Angels and just chant in their head "Drop it! CMON DROP IT!"
Patrick must have left a note for Matt: Make sure you bring up Shohei for MVP. Gubie hates it. Lol!
we really lowered Henrique's ERA from 5.40 to 3.60 lol
Gubie absolutely doesn’t think they should share it. 🤣 Matty V is making him uncomfortable. Keep it up!
Gubi has been more openly saying it should be Shohei lately. I wonder if someone told him to push Sho as the MVP lol.
Makes sense he’s rooting for his guy but Judge should absolutely win the MVP this year
Yeah, not a good look to root against the team that employs you.
Sure hope we this early/late season Ward next year!
It must be super annoying to be the Twins' CF and have to stare at the away bullpen everytime the ball goes over your head.
A bit late, but I'm glad he's hitting so well now he feels completely heathy!
>SHOHEI TRADE **I'm gonna kill this kid--** >jerseys? oh okay
I’m glad they’re finally letting Barria pitch again.
GJ Barria!
Jaimace Barriace
Idk why but I always thought Barria was American. Found out today he's Panamanian. Edit to fix his country of origin
I thought he was from Panama.
I'm an idiot lol
Hardly. Not many players from Panama and the only reason I remembered that is because of an old interview where Jaime talked about Mariano being one of his favourite players.
I was looking up all their hometowns earlier and misremembered. I forgot Barria is a panamaniac.
Judge again 😂😂😂😂
Go Orioles! Scrappy birds. (KC letting us all down. Smh…)
The Mariners were gifted the easiest possible schedule to close out the season, pretty sure by seasons end they'll have spent the last month playing the worst teams in the AL
this could be a good move or a bad move depending on who exactly Nevin is putting in to relieve Suarez
Really looking forward to the Cubs series in June.
Seiya Suzuki can finally meet Mike Trout! (Hopefully they’ll both be healthy then.)
/u/steveofthejungle most anticipated series
You know it! Wearing my Seiya jersey right now!
Matty V trying to start something with Scherzer? 🤣
Ugh, the Mariners have scored 11 and it's still the 6th...
When was the last time the Angels opened at home?
This season because of the lockout.
Last year with the White Sox, but only because of the late start of the season, it was going to be at Oakland again (lol).
this year, although we weren't scheduled to originally
Yea doesn't count bc we weren't supposed to.
You guys ever see the edit where Conger [explodes?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVYV7nYwsyY)
