"Ten strikeouts, scoreless pitching performance, while hitting three home runs including one of the longest in Dodger stadium history."
"If game one was any indication, we are in for an all-timer. Ohtani, Betts, Freeman, Judge, Soto, Cole, Rodon, Yamamoto—don't miss it."
"We live in a time period where we are witnessing truly superhuman, Greek mythos levels of athletic excellence (looking at you Shohei Ohtani) and you can't sit through thirty seconds of witnessing it without being yelled at to consoom product."
"One game into his $700 million contract and the feds are already looking into Shohei Ohtani... And people say baseball is boring."
"[Shohei Ohtani gets robbed of a home run by Aaron Judge top 1st one out full count] This one would be scored an L or F8 L for lineout F for Flyout really up to you"
"Shohei Ohtani, Japanese national hero, 2X MVP who is arguable the best pitcher AND batter in all of baseball signed a contract worth upwards of $700 million. He is currently being accused of gambling and could be banned for either a year if found guilty or life if he bet on games he was playing in."
"This is a dead art now sadly. Mlb has universal designated hitters now. Pitchers don't hit anymore, unless they're Ohtani."
"And then there's the AL West which saw the upstart Texas Rangers hold first place for almost the entire season before fumbling the bag and ceding first place to the Seattle Mariners, who had a historic run in August (while the Angels collapsed out of contention and Shohei hit the IL)."
"We got to talking about Shohei and his scandal (I think he did the gambling btw) and she said the sweetest thing. She said she loved to watch someone play baseball, an American sport, with a Japanese ethic, and in doing so represent the best of both countries."
"Harper and Ohtani atop the NL standings. Mets having a cinderella season but can they hold off the surging D-Backs?"
