now Ohtani has to stay healthy for the Angels to make the playoffs. this kid is good i didn't know know he would be this good because in ST he was struggling, but since the season started he's been seeing the ball well and getting hits.

[haleyruby]

Let’s go Angeles you are the best team ever

[bobbugsly]

The perfect stadium for him..lol..
He always hits it far in the mountains.

1:06 If Ohtani hadn't been offered "2way player" by the Japanese franchise, he would have been a Dodgers pitcher. He was scouted by the Dodgers when he was a high school student. He was going to get an offer.

Ohtani is back！！Angels best！Dodgers are great too！！

[youshe]

I couldn't believe Angels are now in the fourth in AL west. I'm hoping Ohtani to be super good to lift Angels to 2nd spot.

Halos deserved this win. Dodger manager Dave Roberts kinda got outworked by opposing manager Mike Scioscia when he went with righty JT Chargois and immediately got countered with Shohei Ohtani. It was the '88 WS Game 1 playbook all over again when Ohtani hit that go-ahead HR in that AB, lol. Just goes to show what happens when a team heavily favored like the Dodgers ends up squandering a key game like they did in the first one of this road series against the Halos. Makes games like this one even more bitter to swallow when they don't end up pulling it out to salvage the series. Sucks that Yasiel Puig had to leave the game with that oblique strain because now his spot on the roster's in jeopardy with Andrew Toles and Alex Verdugo currently licking their chops down at AAA OKC. That said, just get 'em back at home Blue Crew. NEXT MAN UP!

Btw, get Max Muncy in with the Final Vote Dodger fans! Vote as much as you possibly can...
;-D

Japanese BABE RUTH, just a little slimmer 😁

[Sratton]

[Wolverine]

Pujols the machine hitting dinger still

[tommytuckersgoldencrown]

Dodgers and Angels play again on Friday...Dodgers are still fighting for first and The Angels, well we all know what there fighting for...😬✌️see ya Friday

[Hillbillyspree]

No dodger fan comments? They call us trash cuz we drop one game? Well they just lost to a trash team. What does that make them?

[georgeschubert]

At least the attention Ohtani is receiving, is taking our minds off Pujols and how badly he sucks. The guy is pathetic, and to think the Angels have him for 3 MORE YEARS.

[kingfreddy]

Dodgers still have a better record than the angels, angels are in the middle of the wild card, dodgers are top of the wild card😂
