Angels already in mid-season form in terms of wasting Ohtani

Hearing Ohtani struck out 10 over 6 scoreless innings, only to blow the lead against the lowly A's once relievers took the mound, my first thought was a less elaborate version of this:

Ohtani is good, but he's no High Pockets Kelly!

There's a reason Tungsten Arm O'doyle was trending as the Angels blew it.  I don't think a comedic tweet has ever been quite so accurate as what the Angels perpetually do

ya know... it's not l;ike the Angel's management hasn't tried to find 7 other decent players to put on the field with Ohtani & Trout

it's got more to do with the 7 other players finding a way to SUCK

They've hit on a couple hitters, but their defense sucks, and they can't find pitching.

And it's pretty lear that the Dodgers are willing to take a half step back because they are getting Ohtani next year.  And a half step back is still enough to make the playoffs, and as long as you get in, you've got a shot.  If the Dodgers win 91 games, finish 2nd in the West, and win a World Series, nobody would be shocked.

No, he'd expect it.  Because the Dodgers wouldn't "deserve" it

the Astros had the 2nd best record last year and won the WS

to me that should count as the team that should win actually winning

todays Astro game was 8 and a half innings and took 3 hours and 11 min to play

so I guess last year this would have been a 4 hour game

they had their 1st clock violation toiday
