Shohei Ohtani strikes out 10 in Angels' opening loss to A's

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:34:44 GMT

Shohei Ohtani's Pitchcom machine failed him for a stretch in the first inning, so he had to improvise with a rookie catcher. “It was tough because you want to go a different pitch, but you don't have enough fingers,” O'Hoppe said in reference to Ohtani's extensive repertoire. “We got through it, luckily.”Ohtani struck out 10 over six scoreless innings in his season debut coming off the World Baseball Classic title before Oakland capitalized once he exited, with Aledmys Díaz rallying the Athletics on a tiebreaking single in the eighth for a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. “We got a lot of guys on base and in scoring position, we just lacked that one big hit,” Ohtani said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara.Esteury Ruiz singled and Tony Kemp hit a tying double to start the rally against Aaron Loup (0-1).The A's hoped to get a chance once Ohtani's day was done.“He kind of dominated us a little bit with 10 punchouts,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “In doing tha...

Opening the bidding (“striking the first blow”) may be beneficial for both offense and defense. But skimpy opening bids impede accuracy in constructive bidding.In the Soloway Knockout Teams at the Fall NABC, both Norths opened one diamond with sub-minimum high cards and a hand bereft of winners. The resulting four-heart game with a combined 20 HCP and a shaky trump suit was an underdog.SECOND CLUBAt one table West led a trump, and East took the ace (not best) and returned a spade to the ace. West then cashed the ace of clubs and led a club to dummy. Declarer picked up East’s queen of trumps and ruffed a club in dummy to set up the suit. Plus 420.In the replay, West led the ace of spades, then a low club (not best). South might have guessed right. If to have a chance he assumed East had the A-Q of trumps, he could have given West the ace of clubs for his overcall. (South could have played East for specifically Q-x in trumps and the ace of clubs.) But South played lo...
