Yes, if his stature didn't give it away, the strikes 8" outside of the zone should have


That's what tipped me off. He called one of Ohtani's sliders a strike when it was really 6-8 inches off the plate.

Chas, Peña, and Yuli's hacks at the slider all looking identical.

That was a damn good pitch. Be gone now.

Ohtani is very good and this half AAAA lineup was overmatched, not to mention Bucknor's terrible umpiring. It is what it is. Time to see if they can look remotely competent against the bullpen.

In Yuli's defense, Bucknor may have called it a strike.

I was hoping JJ would hit it a mile after all the trash talk but he looks like a child against Ohtani

Ohtani = AL MVP. Just give it to him

Ohtani's slider tonight was about as good as a pitch gets.

14 Whiffs
14 Called Strikes
He threw it 51 times and was out in play just 6 times.

Ohtani made Peña look like a child in his first game.

He also did tonight, but he did that night, too.

Newsflash... Chas should never be hitting 2nd
Let's revisit this gem of Dusty's...

Prior to tonight Chas, vs RHP, is batting .192/.292/.360 w/ 40 strike outs. But 2 for 4 vs Ohtani is gonna hold up

Ok now that Ohtani is gone, we can still win this game

I have a feeling Click would need to go full Moneyball on Dusty and trade Yuli so he couldn't start him over Bell

He's much more deserving than Judge.

Basically any year Ohtani pitches and hits fairly well, he should 100% win the MVP. The only exception would be a Bonds 01-04 year.

If thats the way it works go ahead and trade Abreu, Josh James & Phil Madong for Luis Castillo

Here is how impressive Ohtani is....

Abreu is a big, intimidating presence out on the mound, who throws 99 with a wipeout slider. Ohtani is just as big, throws harder, has more pitches and can go for more innings.....and hits like Yordan.

back to back singles against the shift...I bet that doesn't happen in MLB very often

Can we trade Dusty for cash considerations and an Olive Garden mint?
