While the rest is an advantage, this is a disadvantage. We don't know who we will play, but both of the remaining teams do.

Which team do you want to win tonight?



I'll take the Yankees. We'd win in 5 or 6, face Cole and Cortes once each.

Didn't they just sign him to a $30m deal for next year?


They controlled him next year. They avoided arbitration by signing him to $30 M. He would have gotten something similar regardless.
This is correct. Some speculate the reason the Angels signed him is that arbitration might gum up the works of any possible trade. In other words, with Ohtani signed anyone interested has a firm figure on his salary for the coming season.

Don't wanna hear it.

He wasn't drafted by them. He CHOSE to sign both his original and his new deal knowing full well the Angels are awful and have no clue how to run/build a winning team.



He chose a team who wasn't too far from contention (would have been tied for the final WC spot if 2017 had the 2022 format) and had the best player in the world. As a 23 year old from Japan, he probably thought west coast was the best option. On top of that they probably recruited and sold him on their future. 5 years later, he's allowed to have a different opinion and regret it.

Ohtani has played with quite a few well-paid veteran players in Anaheim...

and he may have noticed that those guys are not concerned with winning --- they just want to cash their checks on the 1st & 15th

If I only care about them half winning can I get a half of their check?

Wow... That's a new one for the traveling secretary
Most likely, the Yankees went and booked the hotel when they realized there would be a rain delay.

The same thing happened in 2019 ALCS when we played them in an afternoon game. Hopefully they show up in the 6th and are highly disappointed.

Are those bat speed sensors on Yordan's bat, the little red things? Nerds in the front office probably working on cloning Yordan.

I want the Yankees simply because I don't think winning wise it makes a significant difference (could easily beat or lose to both)

I just want the opportunity to end the Yankees season AGAIN

Torres is hitting .188, Judge is hitting .118, Stanton is hitting .083.
Im not saying throw it down the middle, but you've got to attack these guys. Can't give free bases.
