Some of you probably opted out of watching this game when you heard it was Shohei Ohtani vs. the Mariners’ bullpen. That’s a totally fair choice to make. The Angels are blessed with not one but two generational talents, and it’s okay to be annoyed by that, and it’s okay to wonder where the Mariners’ next generational talent is, or if they used up all their Sodo Mojo back before the current generation of fans was even born. I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately—having a year slip by while you’re inside the house during a global pandemic will do that to you—and it’s frustrating to feel like the Mariners are standing still, have been standing still, while around them different teams have surged and fallen and made big signings and had major breakouts.
Angels use one Ohtani-sized duck to defeat Mariners’ various duck-sized Ohtanis, win 3-2
