Dave Roberts disrespects Angels by downplaying Shohei Ohtani’s first start vs them

Shohei Ohtani has seen his former club seven times since leaving the Angels in free agency after the 2023 season, but the Dodgers' upcoming series against Anaheim will include his return to a role LAA fans are already familiar with. On Wednesday, he'll make his ninth start of the year and first ever at Angel Stadium for the Dodgers.

Last year, when he stepped up to the plate in Anaheim for the first time as a Dodger, he received a mix of boos and cheers, and then he proceeded to hit a game-tying triple in his second at-bat in a game the Dodgers went on to win.
