As the sun sets on my time in Anaheim I just wanted to reflect on the most incredible week ever
A shutout W, a walk off, Ohtani grand slam, Trout making HR history, a No Hitter(!!) + so much more
It does not get much better than this. But I just wanted to say thank you
@Angels
REID DETMERS NO HITTER
THIS TEAM IS SPECIAL
THIS TRIP HAS BEEN THE MOST INCREDIBLE FEW DAYS OF MY LIFE.
COULDNT LOVE THEM ANY MORE IF I TRIED
WOW JUST WOW
❤️
LTBU!!! ANGELS WIN! 🔥🔥🔥
ITS NEARLY 5AM, ITS ALREADY LIGHT OUTSIDE, WORK IN 3 HOURS BUT THAT IS A MASSIVE, MASSIVE VICTORY
THE FIGHT IN THIS TEAM IS SPECIAL. THESE ROOKIES ARE LEGIT. SHOHEI OHTANI IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD.
I LOVE THIS TEAM, I LOVE THIS SPORT
#GoHalos
OH MY GOD ANGELS WIN ANGELS WIN ANGELS WINNNNN!!!!! WORTH THE PRICE OF THE FLIGHT ALONE. I AM SO HAPPY. THIS TEAM IS INCREDIBLE. SO MUCH FIGHT. THANK YOU
@ANGELS
Thank you Shohei Ohtani. A true superstar, an incredible player, person and teammate. It was a privilege to watch you over the last 6 years as an Angel. 170+HRs, 600+ Ks, multiple MVPs and a global icon. You are one of a kind ❤️ 🦄
On a personal note - halfway through the season & I’ve watched 81/81 games live, minus a few innings. Pretty proud that despite the vast time difference I’ve been able to support our
@Angels
every night but I couldn’t do it without you all! Here’s to no😴 & the next 81👊
#GoHalos
About to fly home & it’s time for some reflection over another incredible trip
A winning homestand, a sweep of Boston & amazing memories.
This is a special place to visit with a special fanbase. It really is a family & I feel so privileged to be part of it
Thank you🧵
@Angels
Shohei Ohtani has just put this game and this team on his back today and carried us. That is leadership. And what a phenomenal player he is. Incredible performance. 🔥
LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!! ANGELS WIN AGAIN! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
AMAZING PITCHING, SOME HUGE HOMERUNS AND ABSOLUTE VIBES FOR THE HALOS.
ANOTHER SERIES WIN AND WE ARE ROLLING.
LOVE YOU
@Angels
❤️
LTBU!!! Angels win and shutout the nights! I might have been up for nearly 24 hours now but that was so worth it! Angels fans are the greatest too! Can’t wait for tomorrow
#GoHalos
Happy Birthday Shohei Ohtani 大谷 翔平 🎉
The most talented player in baseball history who at 28 years old continues to change the game.
The man who despite our struggles shows the same passion + leadership every single day and who we are so privileged to watch. Love you Sho❤️
Ugh what a day
✈️ Landed at LAX at 1PM, got through immigration & to the rental car place at 3:30.
🚘Finally got a car at 6:20. Drove to Anaheim & checked in at the hotel 7:20
⚾️Angels already 3-0 down
Been awake 24 hours and counting 😴
BUT I MADE IT. I’M HOME
#GoHalos
I didn’t think I’d be so annoyed by this MVP vote as I am. Shohei genuinely had the greatest season in history. To only get 2 1st placed votes out of 30 is abhorrent.
Reintroducing myself before Opening Day.
My name is Nick.

LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!! ANGELS GET THE FIRST WIN OF MY TRIP 🔥🔥🔥
Always special seeing Shohei pitch. Moniak does the damage. HALOS GET A HUGE SERIES WIN.
#GoHalos
Here we go… 7 hours of commercial *filled* Halos baseball starts now.
Work finished, beer opened and I’m in position for the evening.
Got to be an Asahi for ShoTime
#GoHalos
LIGHT THAT BABY UP!!! GONE 5AM HERE BUT THE BULLPEN LOCKS DOWN A FANTASTIC SILSETH DEBUT 🔒 HALOS KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING AND START THE ROADTRIP OFF WITH ANOTHER SHUTOUT VICTORY! LETS GOOOOOO 🔥
I’d had enough of the gloom so woke up and drove out for some sun and a beautiful hike through the San Jacinto Mountains. Now to Palm Springs for lunch
Yesterday we spoke to Angels left fielder Taylor Ward after the Texas series - here’s what he had to say about Shohei Ohtani and what he is like as a mentor… 大谷 翔平
#GoHalos
You can listen to the full podcast here ⬇️
Honestly, I don’t even know what to say anymore. ANOTHER HOMERUN FOR SHOHEI. After a sensational performance on the mound, he gives his own run support with two homeruns. This swing was beautiful going opposite field too. He’s the best player in the world. No doubt. 🦄🔥
Ohtani may not have a new job at the trade deadline but I do.
I’m starting a new chapter in my career tomorrow, for the first time in 7 years doing something different.
Going to need to figure out my sleeping patterns for Angels games again.
But wish me luck 🙏
#GoHalos
Second time in row Nevin has taken out Matt Moore for Herget unnecessarily and it’s cost us both times. Not sure why he hasn’t learnt from his mistake first time around
Smart by Shohei, show off getting a base hit off Kershaw, but get picked off before he exerts any energy on the bases because he’s pitching Friday. Genius
3:30am, in bed, watching the post game show. Absolutely buzzing about that win. Not a chance I’m able to fall asleep any time soon. I love you
@Angels
❤️
お誕生日おめでとう 大谷 翔平 !
Happy Birthday to the most talented baseball player in the world from all your fans across the UK and
@MLBEurope
- we love you Sho - hoping for an even more special age 27 season
Absolute pleasure to watch Shohei again this year. An incredible MVP season with so many special individual moments once again. He makes the late nights worth it. Hope for a quick and smooth recovery and can’t wait to see him hitting again next year, wherever that may be. 🦄
I’m lying in bed. It’s 6:40 in the morning. I cannot fall asleep at all so going to give up. Just listening to the rain hammer down outside, which I think is just such an accurate depiction of how we all feel right now. I am very sad.
Think Im going to take a couple of days off twitter during this break. Feeling pretty down at the moment, had a panic attack & anxiety has been very high for the last week or so. Need to try & bring myself back up. I’ll be back for Houston & the second half no doubt. See you soon
I am almost lost for words at this point.
Honestly feeling so gutted for Shohei too. He’s given everything for this team to be out there every single day and put the team on his back. To get this injury now is devastating. Really hoping he doesn’t need surgery.
🚨EXCITING NEWS 🚨
I am so happy to tell you
@angels
fans that I am heading out to Anaheim from May 6th to May 11th for the Nats and Rays series.
I can’t wait to meet some of you there!
Taking recommendations for places to visit and eat so let me know
#GoHalos
Biggest week of Angels baseball, post buying at the deadline, in many years, and they lose 6 in a row and get swept by the Mariners. Utterly miserable.
So going to try and get an early night and some sleep after an angels series win because…
I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW
@Angels
AND IM SO EXCITED!!! 🎉 ⚾️
I’ll be there for the next 6 games and can’t wait to meet so many of you.
#GoHalos
LIGHT THAT BABY UP!! ANGELS WIN 🔥🔥🔥
SHOHEI OHTANI PUTS THIS TEAM ON HIS BACK AND CARRIES THEM TO A MASSIVE SERIES VICTORY. BREATHTAKING 😳🦄
JACOB WEBB!!⭐️
GREAT GAME FOR MONIAK AND THE BULLPEN TOO❤️
INJURIES ARE A WORRY, BUT THIS TEAM HAS TALENT, HEART AND FIGHT
#GoHalos
You have to got to be kidding me. Another call goes against the Angels from New York. Renfroe crushes a double to drive in Drury with a great slide but somehow the safe call is overturned. Pathetic
@MLB
no way that was conclusive
This is the best performance in a day in major league history right?
A 1 hit complete game shutout, then two massive homeruns.
Shohei just makes this incredibly difficult game look so easy. 🦄
Most talented player of all time without question
So Arte has no plans to sell, no plans to increase pay roll, wouldn’t pay Ohtani, no plans to sort out the stadium situation because he’s old. Did I miss anything?
LIGHT THAT BABY UP!! ANGELS WIN A WILD ONE!!🔥🔥🔥
NO IDEA HOW THEYVE COME BACK BUT THEY GET THE JOB DONE. A PROPER TEAM VICTORY
SO MUCH FIGHT SHOWN TONIGHT SO I HAD TO COME BACK ONLINE AFTER THAT ONE. LETS GOOOO 🔥❤️
#GoHalos
LTBU!!!🔥🔥THIS ONE IS ALL ABOUT SHOHEI. STUNNING PERFORMANCE ON THE MOUND. DRIVING IN THE WINNING RUNS WITH THE BAT.
THE MOST TALENTED BASEBALL PLAYER IN THE WORLD PUTS THIS TEAM ON HIS BACK AND WINS HIS 5TH STRAIGHT START.
BREATHTAKING PERFORMANCE AGAIN. MVP!! 🦄❤️
THE MAN IS JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD.
GAME ONE: 1 HIT COMPLETE GAME SHUTOUT
GAME TWO: HUGE OPPOSITE FIELD 2 RUN HOMERUN.
SHOHEI OHTANI LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
AND HE IS AN ANGEL ❤️🐐 🦄
What an incredible performance, from an incredible man. Such a shame there wasn’t a no hitter to go with it but it was so special to watch Ohtani tonight. The most talented baseball player of all time and he just keeps getting better. No question in my mind he’s the MVP 🦄 ❤️
Man, Walshy being DFA’d is a really tough one. Was an All Star for the Halos, gave us some great memories and just seemed to have that 🐶 in him. Really wish him all the best and I hope he can get his career back on track after some really difficult times.
OF COURSE HE DOES. HE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. ANGELS STARTING PITCHER SHOHEI OHTANI CRUSHES A HOMERUN IN HIS FIRST AT BAT TO GIVE THE HALOS A LEAD. BREATHTAKING FROM THE MVP 🦄 🔥 🌍
Actually lost for words at this. I know some will disagree but I’m incredibly sad about this decision + I do not agree at all.
Joe knows this organisation and this sport as well as anyone. This streak will have been hurting him as much as all of us. He would have turned it round
Haven’t really commented on the Ippei stuff before but it shows a man with a severe addiction and the dangers of gambling. He needed/needs help, and I hope he gets it while suffering the consequences of his actions. Feel for Shohei being dragged through this too.
Here we go! Final series of my trip gets going tonight. We’ve been on a roll so got to keep it going tonight. We all know what happened last time I saw Reid Detmers pitch live…
