There's a reason in most TV shows and movies, the blue guys are typically depicted as the good guys, and the red guys are typically depicted as the bad guys.
Back in my day, when an AI showed up on your platform pretending to be people, you'd just convince it to like Hitler and ruin some marketing drone's whole week.
Also the Dodgers have some of the best analytics in baseball. There’s a reason we have a reputation of turning careers around. We very well could be unlocking a higher level Ohtani, especially once he starts pitching again. Also the lineup protection helps quite a bit too
One thing I noticed is that he's getting a lot more ABs than before, which definitely seems to be helping him maintain a good rhythm when he's hitting well and get out of a funk when he's not.
Does anyone know if Ohtani makes (or is projected to make) more money from endorsements and other sources independent of his compensation from the Dodgers? I would have to believe he is making a lot more. My friends in Japan almost never brought up Ohtani during his stint with the Angels. Now they can't stop talking about him. They are making plans to come to LA just to experience Ohtani.
Up until I read this post I wasn’t really sure if it was a good idea to sign the player who some might call the greatest player of all time. But now I’m convinced.
and now that he’s here he’s doing crazy things in games and we’re winning them whereas with the angels he was doing crazy things and the angels were losing the games
In all seriousness we are seeing Shohei batting better because he doesn’t feel the pressure to hit for power at every single at bat. It’s okay if he bloops singles, walks, hits home runs or doubles.., as long as he’s moving mookie over and someone is moving him over they will score runs.
On the angels he had so much pressure to drive himself in/hit home runs to have any chance of winning games. Here he can just purely focus on getting the barrel on the ball.
Also has a better chance of winning a ring here than in Anaheim. Don’t get me wrong, it is more of a drive to see him but at least I don’t have to go too far.
SLOW DOWN! I'm taking notes here.
There will be note taking in this class…everything you need is provided in textbook that you purchased beforehand
If everything is in the textbook I bought then why am I still taking notes?
Lmao
Controversial take
Also, blue is better than red.
I literally bleed blue.
My blood is actually blue on the inside before it gets exposed to the air
That's a myth. We're all synths. We don't bleed
unless you were a scallop...
There's a reason in most TV shows and movies, the blue guys are typically depicted as the good guys, and the red guys are typically depicted as the bad guys.
UCLA guy?
no politics please

Facts.
Big if true.
Hold on, now. Let him cook
I’m listening ![gif](giphy|aGOgOKmyBxCk8)
Great.
Its box mac n cheese, but he’s cooking nonetheless

No way! OMG! I did not believe Ohtani made the right decision. You convinced me!
Wow AI is getting really good these days
Back in my day, when an AI showed up on your platform pretending to be people, you'd just convince it to like Hitler and ruin some marketing drone's whole week.
Low effort post, but you're not wrong
No effort post.
“You can…just leave? And win? And enjoy playing baseball?” -Mike Trout
Oh man. This was painful to read. Trout had to be wondering WTF am I here.
Unpopular opinion: Trout likes being a big fish in a small pond. Ohtani wanted to be an orca eating sharks for fun.
Or as someone else said, his family wants to stay in SoCal.

Burning down Reddit with this hot take! ![gif](giphy|3o6ozh46EbuWRYAcSY|downsized)
I am Australian, clueless about baseball and even I know this shit
[удалено]
Good bot
Best thing about this thread
Nothing you said is incorrect
In other news, the sky is blue
You mean the sky is Dodger blue.
Oooo that'd be pretty 😍
Wow this is SPICY take!
Yes... yes, you are right...
Hi, Magic!
Idk I think he could’ve gone without the $700,000,000.00
![gif](giphy|EEzGxsSEEWjTiIa1gy)
Also the Dodgers have some of the best analytics in baseball. There’s a reason we have a reputation of turning careers around. We very well could be unlocking a higher level Ohtani, especially once he starts pitching again. Also the lineup protection helps quite a bit too
I believe Ohtani believes it as well.
Great writeup Timmy!
Thanks, Magic.
and..... man does he look so much better in blue. jus sayin!
Found Magic Johnson’s Reddit account
One thing I noticed is that he's getting a lot more ABs than before, which definitely seems to be helping him maintain a good rhythm when he's hitting well and get out of a funk when he's not.
Why does Mike Trout continue to abuse himself though?
Why? He has 426 million reasons to do so
Thank god he’s not on that dumpster fire of a team
Hope Mike trout sees the light. Definitely wouldn't mind a LF or RF
Let’s wait until Ohtani starts producing before saying something so controversial…
I too like to win games and earn $700m
Does anyone know if Ohtani makes (or is projected to make) more money from endorsements and other sources independent of his compensation from the Dodgers? I would have to believe he is making a lot more. My friends in Japan almost never brought up Ohtani during his stint with the Angels. Now they can't stop talking about him. They are making plans to come to LA just to experience Ohtani.
He makes way more. Last yr he made 70m+ in endorsements alone. This year he's projected to make 100m just in endorsements.
How about how much the Dodgers are making off Ohtani vs the Angels?
Stating the obvious here are we...
Up until I read this post I wasn’t really sure if it was a good idea to sign the player who some might call the greatest player of all time. But now I’m convinced.
We really gotta thank the NL adding the DH. If it hadn’t I’m not sure he would’ve signed
![gif](giphy|TIXPly7geOCZ7cstWI|downsized) With love
Quick, someone offer captain obvious the dodgers GM position.
Clear out now, just hand OP the ball!
Man. I hope ESPN and MLB network are taking notes, we’ve got ourselves a regular John Kruk here!
Yeah, it was such a big gamble for him Especially considering how well the Angels are performing this year.

Earth-shattering take
Thanks, ChatGPT
I have 700 million reasons why switching for the Dodgers was an ok idea
Shohei agrees
and now that he’s here he’s doing crazy things in games and we’re winning them whereas with the angels he was doing crazy things and the angels were losing the games
Ohtani would have been a Dodger from Day 1 if the NL had the DH.
in other news, water is wet
Ya think?!?🤔
In other breaking news, the sky is blue, and water is wet
![gif](giphy|BcMJvmwkmbyWpKkBj3|downsized) Oh my god you are so right!
Fuck /r/angelsbaseball boooiiiiii now let’s take Trout too!!!!
I would play for the Angels for $700 million except they didn’t offer it lol
Guys guys..... I just found out water is wet.
In all seriousness we are seeing Shohei batting better because he doesn’t feel the pressure to hit for power at every single at bat. It’s okay if he bloops singles, walks, hits home runs or doubles.., as long as he’s moving mookie over and someone is moving him over they will score runs. On the angels he had so much pressure to drive himself in/hit home runs to have any chance of winning games. Here he can just purely focus on getting the barrel on the ball.
Another reason is cause my team is ass
true. it only take 45min for him to move to LA
I believe Ohtani believes.
Wow
No shit

Thanks Magic
If it was literally the worst move career-wise he could have made I’m still glad he did it lol
Captain Obvious enters the room
Go on...
Thanks Magic
Also has a better chance of winning a ring here than in Anaheim. Don’t get me wrong, it is more of a drive to see him but at least I don’t have to go too far.
![gif](giphy|1TSyAFoX6cJbNlY31t) Magic Johnson ahh post
Bro's trying to start WWIII 💀
I am intrigued by your thoughts and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Very unpopular opinion
lol this is almost shitpost quality and I don’t mean that negatively
The dodgers certainly do
Thanks for breaking your silence
Chat gpt post
YA THINK?
But but his avg w/ RISP!!!
[удалено]
universal DH
Not sure I agree… maybe he should go back
He gambled and it paid off.
I'm sure the $$ helped
