03/05/2021 Angels @ A’s Spring Training Gamethread

We’ve finally reached that moment—Shohei Ohtani is back on the bump. Watch along and see how he handles the A’s…with his fastball velocity back to where it was when this incredible journey all began.

I have been impressed with the hustle of those rookies – Adams and Jackson are really showing something on D. Hope their bats come along. Would be nice to see them with the big club already next season.

Hey! It may not be pretty, but 3 runs is 3 runs.

Is there a secret to getting the comments to pop up automatically? I keep having to refresh the page to get new comments to show.

When I’m logged in they sort of pop up. It shows me them down in the lower left of the screen.

Yes, i get the thing at the bottom that shows there are new comments, but they don’t come into the thread unless I manual ask them to. Isn’t there a way for them to insert themselves into the thread automatically?

I was given a 4 hour window for a fridge delivery today, they showed up right as Ohtani took the mound.

Catching up now and man he looks good!

Is this Sandoval, or is Taylor Ward framing like crap?

When the pitches hit the plate you can’t blame the catcher.

Sandoval reminds me way too much of ShitTheBed. We don’t need two of them.
