HAPPENIIIIIING

LTBU

baby boy judge is due a bigun

Congrats Angels.

FUCK THIS FUCKING SHIT AND FUCK YOU ANAHEIM

>mfw we still somehow miss the playoffs
I know it's gonna happen

reminder your 2018 world series will be angels-cardinals. I hope you guys placed your bets when I first told you a couple days ago

doyers and memeiners btfo

t. Seattle Memeiners Soyboy

>we
Otani-san is that you?

What a meme decision for a meme city and a meme team

>LAA still misses the playoffs

lifelongs BTFO

He was never going to go the the Cubs. 20% chance at best. I'm just surprised he didn't choose Seattle

Holy shit the reports were wrong!
How can the media be so fucked

Mfw he gets traded for Stanton in a few minutes

I'd imagine he has a no trade clause.

fuck yeah boys

>One of the best hitting pitchers in a while
>Plays in the AL

Hey we did something decent

DiPoto has to be fired at some point this coming season, right?

He'll play DH

...

angels lifelongs coming out of the burned down woodwork

Ohtani is signing a standard uniform contract with no frills of any kind.

Giants = Gnats

Memeiner fans are absolutely SEETHING right now

Even though I had low expectations of ohtani signing with my team
I am still heartbroken

Hold me bros ;_;

>tfw about to welcome ohtani to the freeway series with fury

This just set the Mariners playoff hopes back 10 years.

H A L O ' D . C O M

man, angels putting LA back on the relevancy map, thanks guys

Can you use the dh for a different position? Like let the pitcher hit and dh for the catcher or some shit

kek

This is the second best possible ohtani outcome.

t. yanks fan

Well fuck, what are the Mariners gonna do with all that international money now?

Poor Mariners fans

Pick up every single former atl prospect

Sign some third world prospects that probably won't pan out

Yeah and now they probably have to compete with the Brewers, Twins, Cubs, for the SP targets that are left. Anyone know what their payroll ceiling is?

Now the Angels can ruin TWO generational talents at the same time

Thai lady boys

I wonder what could be the reason that Otani chose the Angels??????????

>not LAD
Who will the cubs play in the NLCS next year now?

we're looking stacked for next season boys

you can relinquish your DH Position for the pitcher to bat. giants did it with Bumgarner

Well without Ohtani and likely Stanton the Giants FO has doomed us to another terrible season. Why the fuck do people not want to play for SF?

Nobody they aren't passing the WC

>the state of Mariners fans

where were you when the mariners were kill?

Fuck

wrong

I'm interested to see how Scioscia will fuck this one up too.

Sooo like wtf are they gonna do with pujols? I imagine they told the gook he could dh everyday he doesn't pitch. They wouldn't run ohtani in the outfield would they?....

no DH is only allowed for the pitching position

At least they have their roasted crickets

Treat him like dirt and hope he offs himself to save cap

The farm has been gutted and there isnt that much at the mlb level to show for it
Better start spending that international money

Still have the Seahawks, Huskies, and Sounders. It also looks like a NHL team is coming to town. If the Mariners suck so be it.

angels in charge of wasting 2 generational talents

Seagulls

Are the Angels favorites to win the AL West now?

Dissapointment is pretty standard for mariner fans

>Wells
>Pujols
>Freese
>Hamilton

Ohtani being a bust confirmed

not like the mariners would have any success either tho lol

I would run Ohtani's schedule like this
>start
>day off
>DH
>DH
>day off
>repeat process
Give him a day off before each game he is scheduled to start and then another day off after each start so he is rested for the start and then has a full day to recover. Maybe use him as a pinch hitter on his rest days. If the team doesn't play a game the day before or after Ohtani starts then he can DH in the game before/after.

worlds eries bound bros

I'd imagine it's because the team was so bad last season and has so much money committed. SF didn't have a problem getting Cueto to come, or Samardzija, or getting Pence extended. Beyond that, it's also a very high-tax division in general and some players might not like the extremist homo agenda. Got to have the highest cost of living in the sport and the park can be unkind to hitters.

おたはに = Big fish in Japanese
Trout = a type of fish
Angelfishes are found on reefs
The prophecy dude

no lmao
asstros still exist

With the edition of Dee Gordon the Mariners definitely would've made the playoffs if the got Ohtani.

>old
>old
>old
>old, junkie
Ohtani is younger than some of the posters in this thread

been a while since the angels were offseason champs

To be fair it would've been the same if he signed with the memeiners
>"King" Felix

please lord no

>Better start spending that international money
I think the higher-end guys that were cut loose from Atlanta have already been signed. I think it was the Angels who nabbed Maitan. I don't know if there is anybody left to grab. Are there any Cubans floating around right now?

>SF didn't have a problem getting Cueto to come, or Samardzija,
you mean jeff samardzija had little trouble putting his 4.5 career ERA on a 90M contract??? i really wonder why someone with a 4.5 career ERA would put his name on a 90M contract offered by SF. SFG must have given him the pitch of a lifetime!

>Trout hits the game winning hr of Paxton while Ohtani pitches 8 SO innings
This is your future Mariner fans
You let this happen

inb4 choking

Really? Well I guess if they did immediately trad him it would ruin their chances at any other future FA signing

It's all Ron Washington's fault for getting Hamilton hooked on cocaine. Hamilton definitely would've been in the HOF if he stayed clean.

How hard is Robinson Cano's contract going to pound the Mariners in the asshole? Will it be Pujols tier in a few years?

THE DOYLETS ARENT EVEN THE BEST TEAM IN THEIR CITY!

...

>have dream that it's the first day of spring training
>wake up
>it's cold
>ohtani signs with a different team

My heart

Can somebody who can into shooping put a Mariners hat on this Wojak?

>dodgers get Stanton
>t-theyre only a bit better!

...

>ohtani can't record an out in his debut
>has infinite ERA for a whole week
this is what will actually happen

>1 pitcher
uh your rotation is shit either way

Rules question for ya.

If you use your Pitcher as the DH can you replace him with another DH and still keep him on the mound?

>anal og boy

mariners rectally ravaged beyond repair

This is why I hate reddit, all those Jew mods.

...

they need someone more than Ohtani to beat Astros. they're playoff contenders

what did xhe mean by this

>Ohtani is younger than some of the posters in this thread

i've wasted my life

I've known this feel for a while since I'm a month older than Trout who is my favorite player
