Angels fans stumped after seeing Shohei Ohtani struggle against Texas Rangers pitchers: "I wonder what happened to his swing"

Shohei Ohtani seems to be in some sort of a pickle as he has failed to get on the board in the last few games. The series against the Texas Rangers hasn't gone according to plan as he has failed to make any significant contribution in nine at-bats.In Saturday's game, where the Halos lost 10-1 to the Rangers, Shohei Ohtani flied out and grounded twice. Nathan Eovaldi held the LA Angels to eight scoreless innings as the Rangers' batting lineup piled up the runs. Ohtani's recent form is surprising, given the seven-game hitting stretch he had notched up in the series against the Oakland Athletics, Milwaukee Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals.The defeat to the Rangers is a significant blow to the Angels' record this season. They currently have a 19-15 record and sit second in the American League West. However, if they are unable to maintain their form and make it to the postseason, this would probably be Ohtani's last season in a Halos uniform. The two-way player is expected to be offered huge contracts in excess of $500 million in free agency.Fans took to Twitter to voice their concern for Ohtani:Angels of Death@winglessangel37Bad game today.
