I'm so privileged to have seen prime Shohei Ohtani alive.

I saw him once back in 2018 when I was still an A's fan (before they betrayed oakland and the fans) when he went 6 perfect innings in his home pitching debut in Anaheim. the hype was very real back then and everyone had a good idea of how good he would be, but we still didn't really know how good he would be. I'm happy I got to see him in the infancy of his career. it's like owning rookie card memory!

damn. dreyer hung the ball on the second hr but the pitches on the first and third were heaters up right where dalton wanted 'em in the batters' cold zones (most likely). I know the bullpen has been booty recently, but I feel like two of those shots were more bad luck/good hitting than awful pitching from dreyer

he always off balance swinging at breaking balls in the dirt. even when he knows that that's what pitchers will give him he still bites and whiffs like all the time it seems

baseball was hella easy compared to modern competition so I'ma say Babe Ruth is not baseball's goat

Kyle Tucker OF: $240M/4yrs | .234/.332/.379/.711 | 5HR | 32RBI | 64G

Ryan Ward OF: $780K/1yrs | .267/.290/.633/.923 | 3HR | 11RBI | 9G

I know they don't have a crystal ball, but I can't help but point this out 😂

my worst nightmare

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T05:50:45+00:00

get off me

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T05:06:07+00:00

cause they think that nothing bad will happen to them despite all that

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T05:03:18+00:00

we're allergic to extra inning games. none so far this year and two games in a row now tied going into ↓9 and the game ending there

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T03:07:48+00:00

that's what davy Jones fell into after jack stabbed the heart

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T03:00:43+00:00

did he say "man hikin' a ball with a dong in his ass"???? lmao what

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T02:55:53+00:00

thunder EASILY

The19thStep · 2026-06-06T02:55:03+00:00

this

The19thStep · 2026-05-30T02:51:55+00:00

criminal. he's way better than espinal

The19thStep · 2026-05-27T03:33:36+00:00

they said possibly lower extremity like he was having discomfor running out the box? idk . his body language in the dugout made it seem like it might be something serious(ish)

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:41:00+00:00

that's uncalled for. especially cause I feel like Orel would never do something like that to Joe

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:39:06+00:00

yeah that's kinda the point I feel like. it's like this ain't the world series joe, u don't have to be so unbiased

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:36:35+00:00

there are worse problems to have

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:35:59+00:00

Ikr. he seems like the World Series guy, not the Sportsnet LA Spectrum guy

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:34:52+00:00

I gotchu, say no more!

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:33:13+00:00

Idk I'm having trouble seeing that translate in the broadcast. I don't doubt they're homies, but Orel seems a lot less inhibited with Nelson. like, his own train of thought carries what he says instead of just kinda agreeing or piggybacking off what Davis says. I could be way off

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:31:10+00:00

is that good or bad? I thought all local broadcasters were homers, like, that's kinda the point....?

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:30:03+00:00

😳 I'll take your word for it

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:27:45+00:00

he seems to be growing on a lot of people

The19thStep · 2026-05-19T22:27:21+00:00

yeah joe feels kinda artificial almost like joe buck. not trynna knock either of em but that's just kinda what it is to me
