Ohtani
The first pitcher since Babe Ruth to start a game pitching and also lead the league in Home Runs
He picked up the win and and also hit well getting a couple of RBI's.
I like that Maddon is taking the gloves off and letting him hit and pitch in the same game
Talk about most valuable player
If he just pitches and hits above average , he should win the MVP barring any injuries.
but
He's actually a great hitter and a great pitcher
amazing
He's also clocked at being one of the fastest runners in the game
He bunted for a hit last night. First time in many years a pitcher bunted for a successful hit
What cant he do :-)

Exciting payer to watch (even when he's cutting down my Rangers). A starting pitcher who hits everyday and excels in both roles hasn't happened in a long time. I noticed that when he pitches, the Angels don't use a DH. DH doesn't have to sub for the pitcher. Seems like it would be smart to use the DH for one of the weaker hitting position players.

If you like Shohei Ohtani for MVP, looks like you can get him at +1100. He's behind teammate Mike Trout who's at +225.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

That would really be insulting to the position player and I dont think Maddon wants to go there.

Turns out, I was wrong. In MLB, a DH can only bat for the pitcher.

Woman kills man and his dog in hit-and-run while fleeing from another hit-and-run only moments before

A woman has been arrested after allegedly running over and killing a man and his dog while they were out for a walk in a hit-and-run incident while fleeing at a high speed from another hit-and-run incident she had reportedly committed only moments earlier.

The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, April 25, shortly before 8 p.m. in Sandy Springs, Georgia -- a suburb north of Atlanta -- when police responded to a hit-and-run incident involving a pedestrian, later named as 25-year-old Michael Farmer of Sandy Springs and his dog, a Catahoula named Bruce.

Giuliani has certainly been a gift to the Democrats by being such a tool.

Great post! Apparently Val Demings, a true lefty, has come out supporting the cop who killed the knife wielding girl. She was a cop before she was a politician. I am proud that she put principle ahead of race. If you want a list of those that put race before common sense, just look to those that are criticizing the cop.

The Lincoln Project apparently knew in advance that Giuliani was going to get raided yesterday.

Now they’re saying something else will happen Monday.
