Remember when we were told about the amazing double threat the Angels were acquiring in Shohei Ohtani?  He was supposed to be a fantastic hitter and an unhittable pitcher.

Well, nobody got any hits off him today.  He was too busy walking people.  Removed after 1 2/3 innings, allowing 5 walks and 2 runs.

That was a dramatic improvement over his first start, when he faced six batters, giving up 3 hits and 3 walks and being charged with 5 runs.

Today's outing lowered his earned run average all the way down to 37.80.

Oh - and his batting average is .148.

Wow... this post didn't age well.

No, it certainly did not.

Judging from what Ohtani did to the Orioles out in Anaheim, you would think somebody told him about some ill-informed doofus making disparaging comments about him on Orioles Hangout.  ?

My humblest apologies, Ohtani-san.  I hope that tomorrow night, you will treat the National Leaguers to the same sort of demonstration that you gave to the Orioles.

Year end wrap up.

9-2 3.51 FIP, 141 ERA+

46 HR, 100 RBI (batting leadoff), 8 triples (led league), 26 SB.

Probably a career year for him but what a year.

Amazing to watch.

 

IMO, they really need to trade him to a contender. Dodgers are an obvious choice..

Sorry for the thread necro if that sort of thing bothers you but I just want to point out the first inning Ohtani had last night.

1 2B 1 BB 2 RBI then Pitched Perfect 1-2-3 w/ 2K.

Ended up with:

6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 12 SO, 1 BB,

2 for 3, 1 BB, 1 2B, 1 R, 2 RBI

Well yeah, he may be "other-worldly good" for now but inquiring minds really want to know about DJ's 0.5 WAR for a first rounder.  😇

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
