“We’re going to roll the dice and see what happens,” Perry Minasian said at the trade deadline. What happened was an unmitigated collapse.
“We want Shohei!” the fellows in Section 133 shouted during Ohtani’s third at-bat.Rangers fans make their pitch to Shohei Ohtani.
“We love Shohei Ohtani,” Minasian said. “I’ve said it many times. I’d like to see him here for a long time. We’ve got a pretty good relationship.” After the game, an Angels official was asked if Ohtani would answer questions. At 10:03 p.m., Ohtani left the clubhouse bearing his iPad and a plastic takeout container. A crowd of 13 Japanese reporters, plus one American, lingered for the verdict. Perhaps Ohtani would not conduct an actual interview, but the team could bring him two questions, one about the homer and another about the status of his arm, and then provide quotes for the reporters. The press left the clubhouse. At 10:39 p.m.
Schanuel had spent only 40 days in the minors. His ascension was the fastest for a drafted position player since 1978. The promotion revealed the shallowness of the Angels farm system and the depth of their desperation. Cron had been placed on the injured list with a back issue. To be without him was no great loss; Cron had posted a .563 OPS since the trade. Calling up Schanuel was only shocking to those who had not followed the Angels in recent seasons.
“It sucks,” Giolito said. “Baseball is a very tough sport. It’s a game of failure. It’s unfortunate how it’s played out. At the same time, I know everybody in this room is putting in their best effort. It just hasn’t worked out well. To turn it around, we’re going to have to play really, really, really, really good baseball.”After those games against Houston, Texas and Tampa Bay, the Angels were 61-64, 8 1/2 games behind Seattle for the third wild-card spot, with two teams ahead of them.
