Shohei Ohtani starts on the 12th with Masahiro Tanaka’s “former partner” and Maddon’s confidence in leaving the regular catcher | Full-Count

Stussy on the 11th and Suzuki on the 8th injured list

■ Angels Raise (11th Japan time, Anaheim)

The Angels were hit by a series of withdrawal emergencies. Max Stassi is on the injured list on the 10th (11th Japan time). Joe Maddon was confident that he lacked two catchers along with Kurt Suzuki, who was on the injured list on the 7th (8th). Austin Romine is likely to be the starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s “buddy” on the 11th (12th).

Regarding the two alternative catchers, Chad Wallac and Romine, Maddon said, “I’m two big fans. During spring training, Perry (Minasian GM) said,’I’ve got a lot of calls for my backup catcher. I’m coming. ”I saw Wallac yesterday. Look at his speed. The blow is good. The Romine is the same. There is a great presence. His blow is also improving. It was good at the camp and I’m happy to think of them. I’m lucky in a way. “

“Tomorrow will probably be Romine,” said the commander. Otani, who is scheduled to start, is aiming for his fourth win of the season by teaming up with a catcher and a battery that pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has teamed up for four years from 2016 during the Yankees era.
