GOAT or G.O.A.T.[ goht, jee-oh-ey-tee ]Greatest of all time: (used to describe or refer to a person or thing that is considered to be the best ever in a particular field, category, etc., especially in sports):Example: Shohei Ohtani is the GOAT of baseball
>>144533455The level of the sport has declined so much that a jap is the best of it. Not a sport anymore.
>Make it easier to steal bases than ever>Suddenly stealing achievements left and rightFor the first time ever, I am fully unfazed at a baseball milestone.
>>144533468Ohtani doesn't have the most homeruns or the most steals lol, he just combined his amounts into a unique number for both.
>>144533468actually the best is a puerto rican, but weebs don't want you to know that
This achievement doesn't matter when the Dodgers are probably going to be swept in the playoffs. Dodgers fans will be dragged out of the stadium crying "BUT MUH 50/50" and will continue to talk about it every year until Ohtani leaves the Dodgers either through retirement, his contract terms expiring and joining a different team, or he gets greedy and gambles again.
He hit his 49th while they were up 4 and his 50th while they were up 9. This perfectly summarizes his hitting career. So unclutch, it's amazing. Judge will always be the better hitter.
Yatta!!!!!
shitani should be in prison for illegal gambling and roiding
keep seething
What's this 50/50 about?Captcha TKDVM
>>144533584Ohtani has a 50/50 chance of being on roids
>>144533526>until Ohtani leaves the Dodgers either through retirement, his contract terms expiring and joining a different teamHe's signed through 2033 at which point he'll be 40, Ohtani will never be on another team other than the Dodgers.
>>144533584the first player to reach the arbitrary feat of 50 unclutch solo home runs and 50 inconsequential stolen bases**bases that are easier to steal because of rule changes and being physically larger
>>144533481just check out all those players with 50 stolen bases!
>>144533522>fWar cringe, and after shohei going 5 for 5 today he'll be above Lindor there anyway
>>144533522Ohtani has 7.5 fwar at the moment
>>144533532Judge almost choked the AL record before he hit his HR vs *checks notes* Reliever Jesus Tinoco...What the fuck is a Tinoco?
>>144533532Ohtani is one of the most clutch players everthis season is the anomaly, in Anaheim he was consistently great with risp and in clutch situations. at one point he had the highest OPS with risp as a hitter and the lowest OPS against with risp as a pitcher for his CAREER. it was absurd
>>144533584First player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the regular season.
>>144533455Back in the day soriano(when he still studied the game) would reach this milestone before the all star brake
Why does Jon Smoltz in thr booth make Mets and Philly fans seethe so hard for? He's perfectly fine behind the mic.
I've been feeling down lately and skipping school a lot, but I just saw something amazing this morning. So today, I’m skipping school with the best feeling ever!
It's just like when Pujols hit his 700th. 2 home runs in the same night. Shit is scripted and balls were juiced
>>144533455Nobody caresLiteral a league of their own
>>144533664based
>>144533681KYS it's not just a stereotype anymore
The best to ever do it. Not even a discussion.
50/50 and the dude can pitch 100mphunreal
More like goatse
>>144533522he has 7.7 fwar now
>>144533468Best boxer in the world is Jap as well.
>>144533612>Offensive production is meaningless and arbitrary>Be the 6th best player in all of baseball measured by WAR in the year 2024 while ONLY hittingDo you realize how dumb you sound being? Petty contrarianism is a disease of the mind
dude just had the greatest game ever
>>144533821lindor isn't playing, lindor would be over 8 if he wasn't missing games
>>144533455Many dream about what it must have been to witness Babe Ruth in his prime. Those fools don't yet realize that one day, their grandchildren will ask what it was like to witness Shohei Ohtani in his prime
>>144533455GOAT
>>144533881don't miss games then
>>144533881maybe he shouldn't miss games
>defense is meaningless>only home run total matters for mvpdodgers should be forced to play without a shortstop, let's see how much ohtani's offense carries
>>144533532>.211 lifetime average in the postseasonKeep lying lmfao
I'm glad it's going to also end with him batting 1.000 today.
>>144533953This makes your argument worse to how Judge isn't the better hitter than Ohtani.
>>144533709They juice his legs too? KWAB>>144533881Lindor is a filthy spickJapan > raftriders
>>144533975Im like two sections over im gonna come over there and assfuck you in front of those two gooks seated in front of you
now that the pressure's off is he getting to 60-60?
>>144534005He'd have to hit about a HR a game to do that, but I guess he could have a couple of insane multi-HR games to make it close. 3 games are at Coors, so I guess it's not completely impossible.
>>144533976Hitting 211 in the playoffs isnt clutch at all.
>>144533532Judge fastest HR > Chinaman 50/50
How big do you guys think his cock is? Does it have a red dot on it like their flag? Does he make groupies wrap ramen noodles around his cock and slurp it off?
>>144534168>leaf voices opinion about baseball
>>144534053He is much better than a career postseason of .775 but imagine using batting average a determining factor of clutch lmao
>>144534240>career average: 287>career postseason average: 211>batting average measures success at the plate>no you can't use thatWhat else would you use shit dick?
>last HR off a position playertainted
>>144534240>Career ops 1.007>career OPS in playoffs .773Lmao
milestones like a 50/50 should come with an asterisk if the team you got it off of was last place in the division and already eliminated. It's like getting a no hitter off the White Sox, like cool, but it's the literal worst team in MLB history, your son in little league could probably get one too.
>>144533560Is this real?
>>144533984We like Lindor here, he's cool, but this MVP is a wrap and I'm way happier GOATani got it.
>>144533455Congratulations!!Banzai!!
>>144534556Same for people who homered off black pitchers, since their iqs are 20 pts lower than whites on average and cannot be trusted to make a smart pitch
>>144534558As real as the Korean Pleasure Slaves.
>>144533790Thanks for this pic.saved.
do you think the white sox are bad enough to get perfect game'd before the end of the season? I feel like a no hitter is absolutely possible with the teams they're facing, but perfect game'd?
I am proud to be an Asianchad like Ohtani!!!
SB's are the most meme stat. Even more now that the bases are bigger lol
51/51 Wow
>>144534168Hi Mexican
>>144533560that is a disgusting act
What was that guy doing with a 68 mph pitch on the third home run?
>>144535929the game was already a blowout so instead of wasting real pitchers they just had a position player lob it in
>>144533617holy cope, even MLB writers agree
>>144533984>They juice his legs too?nope, just made the bases bigger and penalized pitchers for pick off attempts
>>144533532this is a based knowing post, the rest is reddit2 of his 3 home runs tonight were against position players
>>144533612I like you
>>144534428>career average: .277>post season average: .000oof
>Ohtani isn't clutchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMfBdEV03j8
Tonight we are ALL japanese
They're just making shit up to try to justify glazing on Ohtani endlessly.
>>14453345550-50 is also his record betting millions on filipino knife fights. Everyone involved in that case realized what a fall guy is the first day of discovery.
>>144536479How come Judge isn't in the WBC, but Cole is?
>>144536493Sorry. My dick's too big for that nonsense
>>144533455You can't be the greatest of all time without a championship
>>144539973you can in baseball
>>144536479More like>Trout is clutch
>>144540035Why? That's fucking stupid. I get it's hard to make the playoffs in baseball but I think stats that are counted in the regular season where you play the chicago white sox and colorado rockies don't matter as much as stats in a 7 game playoff series against a good teamThe end goal of every season is always the world series, why does baseball forgive losers so much?
>>144533790Nice, how many rings does he have? At least 3, surely?
ring culture belongs to apehoop
>>144540669I'll never forgive NBA ring chasing for infesting the debates of other sports
>>144533455Is he the last standing masculine male? I can't think of anyone else
Invalid due to rule changes
>>144540750Baby face
>>144533502It's getting stoopid just like NBA achievements "nobody ever scored a 4x4 on a Monday wow"
>>144540792Ohtani's achievement is completely different from a butterknifed stat like that. It's been 150 years and in all that time no one has ever had 50 of both
>>144540214Probably not this year but they'll surely win a couple during his tenure
>>144536542Before this year there had been 5 other guys in the history of the sport who ever had a 40-40 season. 40-40 was always held in extremely high regard. Nobody is making anything up to "glaze" him. 50-50 is an insane stat, and anyone who isn't a clueless hater understands that
>>1445361741 of them was against a position player. The only one this year he's hit off a position player btw. Christ you people are retards
>>144534948>hit a single or get walked >steal second>now you score on the next base hit instead of ending up on second or third yeah man, such a meme. Totally doesn't increase win probability
>>144533532Judge is just barely a better hitter than Shohei, AND Judge doesn't pitch or steal bases. Shohei is more valuable. Always will be. Should have won MVP in Judge's 63 HR year as well
>>144540091several reasonsfirstly, baseball is all about history and tradition, and historically regular season performance has just always been extremely important. For the first few decades of the National League (est 1871) there was no "playoffs", the American League didn't exist until 1901 and even after the creation of the "world series" it took a while for it to have equal meaning as the pennant, especially for the NL, but the AL more or less followed suit with traditions also. For decades the pennant and the world series continued to be of roughly equal importance. There were also no "playoffs" besides the world series in baseball until 1969, long after the NHL and NBA already had multiple playoff rounds and a few years after the NFL also, all three were much younger leagues than MLB also.Tying into the historical part, baseball records and milestones are a big part of the game. The game and season have remained mostly unchanged in the last 125 years, statistical records from the early 1900s are still relevant today.I think most importantly, baseball is a marathon. Sure, getting hot for a week or two in the playoffs is nice, but baseball has always been about the grind of 150+ ballgames. It's pretty luck based in small sample sizes too, any player can get hot for a week or two, but proving your worth over the long season shows true talent.And finally, baseball players can't dominate a game or a series of games like players can in other sports. Ohtani, great as he was, didn't sniff the playoffs in Anaheim. Ted Williams, arguably the greatest hitter ever, appeared in one world series. Barry Bonds did all he could in his one world series apperance and it still wasn't enough. Ty Cobb never played in the world series. These are three of the top 5 or 6 players of all time.
>>144541099cont. Playoff resumes can elevate a great player to greater heights, think Jeter, Ortiz, Koufax, Reggie Jackson etc. But for the true greats it just doesn't matter, almost no one holds Williams' or Bonds' or Cobb's lack of a world series against them, most people probably don't even know that Cobb never won one, or how many world series the all time greats won (usually 0 or 1 if they weren't a Yankee). Even on the other side of the coin, Ruth is the greatest world series player ever, hard to argue against this, and yet it's hardly ever mentioned, it's a footnote in his career resume of greatness.
>>144541099ty cobb never *won the world series. he did play in three early in his career
If Ohtani is so good, how come the Dodgers lose as often as they do? If he was so good, he should just get them more runs than the other team
Christopher Robin is my baseball goat
my GOAT. thank you based Shotime
>>144540919>barelynearly .150 OPS above Ohtani on the season is not barely lmfao>more valuableJudge has 9.9 WAR on the season while Ohtani has 7.8. In 2022, Judge had a 10.5 while Ohtani had a 9.6 total WAR. Too bad the stats don't agree with you, dope.
>>144533455IT'S LIKE A SCORIGAMI AHHHHHHHH!!!!
>>144551905>muh war
>>144533455GOOOOAAAAAAT
I don’t know why more people aren’t saying this but this is because he isn’t pitching. He is a good pitcher but a way better hitter. His tommy johns surgery was actually a blessing in disguise. He should stick to hitting. For overall #1 for HR, I thought Aaron Judge was unbeatable but Shohei’s 3 HR game just gave him a run for his money. Elly can’t be caught by anyone for stolen bases though.
>>144533468Why can't Anglos always recognise the success of Asians?No Brit has ever achieved amazing results in the most manly martial arts such as wrestling, boxing, judo or taekwondo.Almost all British are all pale skinny twink or disgusting pigs either.No wonder 100 brit men had raped by 160 cm Indonesian rapist.
He just hit 52… Judge bros. I don’t feel so good.
This nigga gonna get 60/60 huh?
GAOAT
