Ohtani in 48 hours tied the record with 8 RBIs in a losing game and getting a personal best 13 strikeouts after yielding singles to the first two hitters and retiring the next 24. And yes there was one walk followed by a double play.
He is playing every day (Trout is not). Currently in a 6 man rotation (?). Whether pitching or batting, he lets the umpire know when he misses a call, with a smile, and he is usually right. He is a joy to watch.
With free agency looming after the 2023 season, keeping Rendon, Trout and Ohtani will be the biggest problem for the Angels.
Count on the Dodgers or Yankees to step up to the plate with their wallets.
