It was fast ball he yanked. His slider is in the 90s, not 100s

I pretty sure Dodgers are maneuvering to offer Ohtani a MEGA deal this offseason...probably 50 mill a year easy. It curious how they didn't spend much this season, almost taking a reset, but i'm almost certain he'll be a dodger next year....or maybe Cohen spends to moon next year after not getting Carlos Carrera


staying in LA is appealing. just have to fight LA traffic and go up the hillside to Dodger stadium.

Contract the Angels so Ohtani and Trout can play anywhere else.

Renfroe's catch was nice, but this is unquestionably the greatest play made in the outfield on Opening Day:

That security guard lived the dream.

i liked teo and applaud him for the work he put in to not be completely unplayable in the OF for us. i also enjoy watching his asinine misplays a lot more now.

edit - after seeing the play from a different angle, seems like it was just bad luck as the throw deflected off the runner's back

On the contrary. I found it delightful. Go to hell, trash birds.

Buck announced this in the commentary at the end of the game, but Liam Hendricks is officially cancer-free. <3
