Did anyone bother to scout Otanhi? I'm sorry yes you tip your cap but the pitches thrown to him haven't been competitive 

Yep white flag by Hyde. Gillaspie done.

I guess you just add the contracts for a top starter and a top cleanup hitter and you have his contract.

As long as he doesn't end up on the NYY or RS, I am fine with it.

He will probably stay in California if I had to guess.

They are just throwing him crap pitches. Any good hitter knows what to do with a middle middle changeup. 

Looks like we’re playing the ‘27 Yankees tonight.

Ohtani having a decent night. Gillaspie taking one for the team at this point. I bet we get Alik back up here tomorrow. Unless it hasn’t been ten days for him yet. Either way Gillaspie is a goner. 

[Yossarian]

It's time to just wheel the backstop behind the plate,  bring it the pitching screen,  and just have the BP pitcher toss the rest of this game.

Any time they want to end the Logan Gillaspie experience I’m all for it. 
 

We’re still in this game. 

Apparently Hyde doesn't look at it that way.

This might be one of thise 'save your bullpen to live and fight another day" type if nights.

Alik = Akin. Not sure what my autocorrect was going there. 

[Roy Firestone]

Ohtani is going to get more than 60 million a season...Im saying good night now...our pitchers couldnt even keep it close...good night..

[ArtVanDelay]

Just have Gillespie finish this one out and then DFA him after 

[Uli2001]

I guess this game is going to feature in the Ohtani free-agency highlight heel. Can he hit for the cycle? Got the two toughest ones out of the way.

So what?

The initial comment specified players that were drafted and developed by the O's.

 

Yes, developed!  There is no draft for international players!

The O's have the second best record in baseball, our farm system has the longest-running streak in the top spot, the organization has universal approval across the league, and we get to see two of the greatest baseball players ever come into town tonight.

And people here are still histrionic and cynical. What is the point of following sports if you apparently enjoy absolutely nothing about it?

Because they’re kicking our asses?

Seems logical to me.

And the highlight reel too.

[tntoriole]

So basically Hyde has given up on this one and will get innings from Gillespie then option him back?

Lol Ohtani broke out the home run trot for a triple.  Dude is amazing. 

He’s going to hit for the cycle tonight. 

He might hit for two cycles at this rate!
