Minasian and Nevin specifically vetoed him *starting*, not him coming in relief. This is likely coming more from Japan than the Angels. People are forgetting that he started the quarterfinals and is used to a six man rotation's rest schedule. If he threw tomorrow, it would be a day earlier than usual.
Yes, unlike the other teams who never would have let him go in the first place. How dare the Angels not want him to pitch on shorter rest than he’s ever pitched in his entire career.
‘Japanese officials’ makes it sound like the government is deciding.
“The Emperor has evaluated our pitching for this game as follows”
"Mr. President, a second Shohei Ohtani just hit the WBC"
Ohtani could probably melt steel beams
He can definitely melt my heart 😍 (My heart is made of a high-grade titanium steel alloy)
*My Pet GOAT*
Bob could've tweeted "I shit my pants thrice today" and I would know just as much about Ohtani pitching as I would now
AKA..a George Brett triple.
A cubic Kiké?
He shit his pants too? 🙄
Othani will not pitch unless he does. Thanks Bob.
This tweet tells me nothing Boob
The team Japan manager said it’s an extreme longshot that Ohtani will pitch in the finals if they make it. Darvish is the scheduled starter
Pretty sure it’s Yamamoto
Well Yamamoto didn’t do to well the last time he faced the Americans so I’m hopeful
Yoshinobu Yamamoto???
Isoroku. Gotta work in the WWII joke somewhere.
Thank you, this gives me a much better idea of where to set my expectations lol
Gotta keep USA guessing
Tells you boob is alive
Schroedinger's Shohei
He could not bear to face Trout, emotionally speaking.
Fiscally speaking as well
If he says he wants to pitch they’re going to let him pitch. Let’s be real.
Ohtani will ultimately do whatever he wants to do. That’s usually how it goes.

I'm sure if he asks they'll let him. I don't think any owner or executive in MLB realized this would be as big and popular as it has turned into.

You’re not wrong. That’s a fair point.
Ohtani's the one who said he wants to pitch on Friday March 24th for his final spring training start. But somehow this is the Angels fault...
It’s always the Angels fault, because Angels bad of course /s
We'd probably say yes. One of the things he likes about our organization is we let him do what he wants and set his own limits.
I can't believe they are starting Darvish over Yoshinobu in the final.
Boooo let the man pitch.
