Yet another doubleheader due to the wet stuff falling from the sky. This time it is Ohtani day, well, it was supposed to be Ohtani day. Instead, Shohei left after hurting himself early. Arm fatigue, they say. Bullpen had to pick him up and did the opposite, making it from a close game to a blowout.
Needless to say, it was not worth watching, nor recapping, as it was bad and ugly and sad and Trout also missed the game, so literally a day after finally being back, Troutani was gone again. Shohei honestly needs a break as he has had only 2 real days off this year and is not even playing meaningful baseball… again.
Ugh. Anyway Shohei went 1 and a third innings giving up nothing but a walk and striking out 2 before being pulled. Yeah. But hey, he did have a plate appearance where he hit one out.
Really it was the bullpen’s fault. They gave up 8 runs. Sure 3 were unearned but still that was pretty bad. Especially since Loup and Leon were back to back duds giving up 4 of those ER. Yeesh. But hey, Anderson was kinda sorta decent I guess only allowing 1 of the ER in 4 and 2/3 innings? That is a positive right?
Oh and Rengifo was a HR away from the cycle. So there was that.
Here, just watch Ohtani hit a home run and pretend it held up.
Anyway Angels lost, again. Second game tonight if you want to watch I guess.
