The future of Shohei Ohtani

[Peter_Spaeth]

Don't look now, but Julio making a serious run at MVP.

Wow didn’t realize Julio had turned it on so much. He’s hit 352 in the second half.

And he's on a real team. If Shohei is shut down and Julio stays hot for the next three weeks, who knows.

Stupid question, perhaps, but why don't they do the MVP voting after the postseason is over? Not just for baseball, but for football as well. I would have thought that postseason play (if any) should be taken into account when evaluating a player's value to a team.

I admire Ohtani for a variety of reasons. Trout also. But I suspect that it's easier to perform on the field when 1/5 of your games are meaningless.

Ohtani's locker has been cleared out, looks like he's done for the year/done as an Angel. On the subject of MVP, I wouldn't be surprised if Julio wins it, should his historic 2nd half performance continue. Ohtani has also most likely played his last game as a Halo.

Ohtani has the lead but Julio and Corey have been closing the gap. With 16 games left and if Ohtani is not playing that lead is at risk

and also not the Final 2 months that the Angels or their fans were hoping for. I am sure they will start getting ripped in the off season for not trading him and getting something in return.

What a season for Angels fans.
