It's a shame that Shogo has to adapt to a different strike zone for every umpire.
It's hard enough for veteran MLB hitters, may take him awhile to adapt.

Reds do nothing on offense (Aquino walked) in top of 3rd. Josh Smith in to pitch. He walks Upton to lead off inning. He reminds me physically of Cingrani out there....
After retiring a guy, he throws one behind a hitter and then hits him. Next guy flies out. 2 down, 1st and 3rd.
Angels announcers point out Shogo hustle backing up 3rd....
Schebler gets fooled by wind and ball falls in and another run scores.

Angels announcers are praising Akiyama's performance in LF.

Wind vs. Schebler.
Wind wins.
I know it's ST, but these pitchers are just bru tree al. Tough to watch.
Dietrich K's swing, Blandino flies out, and Schebler K's looking on a ball that appeared to be inside. Only Reds hit is a Shogo single that maybe should have been handled by pitcher. Smith in to pitch another inning.

Smith K's first guy looking on slightly generous call, then next guy is retired on nice diving catch by Garcia on soft liner. Smith is done, Reyes in. Ohtani retired on easy grounder to 2nd.

Garcia's a good looking prospect. Didn't realize he was that mlong & lanky. Looks like he's got room to fill out that frame. Been hoping for a top-level SS prospect since Barry. Hope his development continues/accelerates.
Reyes still in game, Lots of substittions for Reds. Davidson replaced Dietrich at 1b, Fairchild in for Shogo (LF), Farmer in at C, Payton in for Schebler (RF), Trahan for India (3b).
2nd batter hit hard grounder that Davidson can't handle (called a hit) and then Blandino throws ricochet past the pitcher. Then Davidson boots next grounder for error and run scores.
Nice play on grounder to Garcia to end inning. Angels announcers are appreciative.

Powers in to pitch. Bell, Barnes and Fairchild in, Aquino, Shogo and Blandino out.
Powers gets first guy on lazy fly, second guy hits dribbler that no one can get to, and then third guy hits soft grounder to SS but too soft to turn two. Powers K's next guy. Good inning, they had no hard contact.
