Need the the first two to make some kind of contact

That right there is what pisses me off.. just make contact if the bases are loaded with no outs..

Lowe w/high bomb

Ohtani is a heck of a dude.
Great pitcher and hitter.

He should be a guy that’s talked about much more come late 2023. Maybe we will see him in Arlington in late 2024.
Wonder if Englert gets added to the 40 man after the year or exposed to the rule 5. Seeing as how he didn’t pitch in 2019 or 20 he should get a 1 year extension imo..

Jung got a hit in his third at bat tonight. I wonder how long before he goes to Round Rock.

Not sure about all of those must adds. Probably at least 3 of those 40 man fringe won't make it. Maybe no more than one of those prospects on the fringe are added.

Then there are the six free agents.

Wonder if this is where Howard falls apart or not.

Runner on 3rd with no outs..
Come on boys, let’s get him home

I’d pull Howard now. 5 shutout inning with a chance to win. He could get torched going out for the 6th knowing him and then his night’s a waste.

 

[Bmurph]

Bases loaded 0 outs followed by 3K' pitiful

Ohtani threw what seemed like 40 sliders and they didnt touch any of them.

Now Garcia fans for the 3rd time with a big cut on a slider, a foot off the plate. He just goes up there and hacks at anything most of the time

He may implode from here on out but he's really pitched well tonight and I never thought I would say that

Garcia and Taveras strike out and Calhoun has zero chance even vs me right now. Not gonna score here

At least he put that 92 mph change up in play and didn’t strike out lol
Ohtani is straight nasty..

He got it almost to the track or to the front of it anyway

Oh and yes and I really want to trade for him more than Soto
