Angels vs. Astros Game 2 Gamethread

I’d say use the PitchCom against them, but by now I’m sure they’ve found a way to tap it.

Well, at least we showed were starting to hit mistake pitches if nothing else. Now if only we could hit good pitches

Ohtani equals his win total from last year. If he hit .300 I’d consider him Ruthian. As it is I think I’ll say he’s the 2nd best hitter/pitcher but he’s not far off.

The best since Ruth sounds pretty inclusive for one player.

I think he’s better than Ruth. He’s playing at a time where baseball is played at a much higher level with constant computer analysis and video available instantly. To do this in this era makes him better in my opinion.

It’s not even close. Ohtani would crush the babe and strike him out on 1 pitch

Ohtani with 9 wins!

And the entire team this season has, what? 12?

Yea, that 1972 Phillies team had, what? 59? And Lefty Carlton had 27 of ’em. Freakin’ sick!

Is it too early for an Ohtani statute in the entrance area?

F it. Arte should just sell him the team to Shohei now. He can triple as the GM too.

We can’t trade Ohtani. We only win when he pitches!!!

Have they changed the crowd audio? It is very loud and shrill tonight. Or is it just Mickey Mouse Night tonight.

Every other outfielder has to deal with the lights too, Patrick, ya dumb hack.

Another reason to put Adell in Left if the lights are that bad in right. TBW doesn’t have problems with the lights out there now.

Going to bed (it’s after midnight in Texas). I think we’ve got this one.

Adell…

Was he this “graceful” in the outfield during high school? Kinda want to see the scouting report on his defense lol

Fun game with Ohtani. Good to see Adell and Renjifo do well. Haven’t been watching much lately as we’ve been refitting our kitchen and laying flooring which was frustrating enough on its own.

I just noticed my status has moved up to Super Member. Can an admin tell me what the criteria are for the different levels?

I thought it was just a crapload of posts.

Can we get a ruling?

Nice to see a better offensive effort up and down the lineup.

Esp from Rengifo…..

Maybe it’s a good thing that Arte nixed the trade for Joc.
