LMJ has pitched his ass off. Get that man some runs!

I freakin love LMJ and his attitude.

It feels like he's turned a corner, mentally. His last starts on the road have been pretty good.

Maybe one of us TexAgers is at the game.
Haven't seen Mathguy post in a while.

Has Blummer ever contemplated a coaching career?

He's nails at identifying weaknesses and calling it like it is but not being an ahole.

I bet he'd be a pretty good bench coach or even MiLB manager.

Lance with the walk, but not due to lack of effort by the "swing batter batter SUH WING batter" guy
This guy is the real hero we need at the exact right moment.

Hilarious.

What poster would you think most likely to be that guy?

Ohtani will get 1 more AB in the 9th inning if he can finish the bottom of the 8th. He's at 88 pitches so it will be close.

I am just fascinated by Ohtani...Big League quality as both a hitter and pitcher. Should it be as rare as it is?

It's not that it's big league quality for both, it's that it's upper echelon of the big league for both. Definitely hasn't been a two way like him in my lifetime.
I think that's mostly because they aren't allowed to continue down both paths.

Not trying to take away from Ohtani at all because he is a once in a generation talent, but I think we would've seen at least a couple of more players like this in our lifetimes if guys were encouraged to pursue pitching and hitting concurrently.

That could be. But again, I don't think they're going to disincentivize any prospect with upper echelon abilities in both. Buster Posey may have been the most recent one I can think of that was close to that, but think he was always a better hitter than pitcher. I honestly can't tell if Ohtani is better at one or the other. Both are just incredible.

Use your defense this inning then empty the gas tank.

Some barrels that inning. Does he get the 9th?

Bummer to give up the HR, but what an outting from Lance.

Going to be interesting to see what Dusty decides to do if we get a lead in the bottom of the 8th. Send Lance back out or bring in Pressly?

95 pitches. He'll see the top of the lineup in the 9th.

Let's scratch one and let Pressly bring it home.

I think this is the route I would go, even if we take the lead in the bottom of the 8th. However, I wouldn't be upset or surprised if Pressly came in.

If you get a chance to run on Ohtani you have to right now. I bet they won't want him throwing darts to homeplate

I hope this move does backfire on the Angels.

They may not want him to, but he will gun your ass down.

Yup. He's a ball player.

If this goes into extra innings this could get screwy for the Angels
