NEWS: Ohtani goes 50/50 but does it really count in the memefred era of baseball? And will anyone care when the Dodgers are knocked out in the NLDS?old >>144530655
Royals
This is a complete and utter bootyblasting from my Metsies
doyers
A toast to /mlb/'s endless seethe no matter what happens in October
METS

I'm donating $100 to the Palestinian Health Ministry
>>144535172A TOASTTO GAMBL-I MEAN GAMERS
These niggas are so mad
I'm donating $1 to Recker's G-string
do doyerfans have jobs? It's Thursday. Wtf are you all doing in Miami when it's a workday tomorrow?
>>144535172>no matter what happens in October/mlb/ is counting down the days to dunk on us when we are inevitably knocked out in the postseason, i just cant celebrate knowing what's coming
>>144535159>>144535178Mookie is STILL being interviewed about his reactions and he's all likke I dunno I'm just a fan like everyone else lol
Told you guys that philly was gonna throw this series against the mets
Mets Mets Mets
>>144535172here here, no matter what happens!
>that team that makes ya seethe
chug a beer every time FOX mentions ohtani
>>144535202>what are days off or paid vacations
>>144535202Everyone is bandwagoning the Doyers now that Ohtani's there, there are probably millions of Dodgers "fans" who have never even been to LA
>>144535206same as it ever was. nothing wrong with feeling good about the good things that do happen
>>144535209Love those mets videos like you wouldn't believe
>>144535208again, most phillies fans expect a loss from the 5th starterI would've been genuinely shocked if they won tonight
>>144535149I remember him pitching at Koshien. In fact, he never won a single game.
>Fox shitting on lindor's mvp chancesLOL
>>144535258it feels strongly reminiscent of that 111-win season
>get home from work check to see how the phillies are doing>taijuan walker: 8ER 3.1IPYou, it was actually my fault for expecting anything different.
where the fuck did this defense from Trea come from?
>>144535156Getting squashed by the Giants.
JD is a bigger buzz kill than this fucking guy
>>144535271They should have made it a bullpen game if they really cared.Walker is obviously not ever getting a start, so he should be getting bullpen practice instead.
Ohtani's 50/50 night wasn’t nearly as much a priority to see in Miami as Flannigans Night
my mets are looking like your team's worst nightmareyou better pray we don't catch you in the 'offs
>>144535351I love women's shoulders so much bros
>>144535351unironically, anything's possible with this retarded expanded wild card. just look at last years dbacks
>>144535336Fuck no. I would rather Walker or some AAA random guy go out there to eat innings than killing the bullpen. Phillies players expect to be down by a few runs when they pitch but it's these blowouts in the 3rd fucking inning that are insufferable. I'd say like 1 in 5 of these 5th starts the guy actually gives the phillies a chance.
Seiya Bomb!
>>144535351Mettie jetties really thinking they're gonna catch a pitcher of Walker's caliber each night huh
>>144535351
>>144535149wtf is a stolen base? and why is it special home run is ok I know that you hit the ball into the crowd
>The Royals are 70-69 in non White Sox games, the Twins are 68-71 and the Tigers are 70-72AL Central is on fraud watch
>>144535292We could’ve told you about 2nd half taijuan
Chadres. Geez not even brew crew, Marlins and Phillies can't help us*JC Denton voice* What a shame.
>>144535430>BongWhy are you here?
>>144535417don't need 9 runs EVERY night but I'd love to see it
>>144535432Ok now do Guardians.
Suarez you retard
>>144535289I don't know how to describe the feeling. I had a lot more anxiety then because it was such a "perfect" regular season, and I knew it didn't mean shit once the playoffs started. this time we already know the starting pitching is thin but we still hope something good will happen.
>>144535432If the White Sox weren't so historically shit this year, the Royals would never have gotten anyone's hopes up, and sunk to another 100+ loss season.
>>144535503No. Fucking. Doubt.
>>144535515>another 100+ lossanon you're off by 30 losses
Phillies, why are you just so fucking useless? My god
>>144535566First time?
>>144535503
hes still not winning the mvp
>>144535543Royals fans got the hopium going when they swept the White Sox at the start of the year. If the White Sox were even decent, they would have just pummeled the Royals, and they would be eliminated a lot sooner.
>>144535566here for your monthly game viewing?
>Francesco Alvarezmost puncheable face in baseball?
>>144535566Did you like our 5th starter? Now here's the old 5th starter who replaced the other 5th starter who replaced the other 5th starter who replaced the other 5th starter who replaced Taijaun Walker, who is the current 5th starter.
Astros please. I need you to stomp on Suarez. I do not want him on this team next season.
>>144535380same bro
>>144535598No, that's Bryce Harper
>>144535503You couldn't throw a more hittable pitch if you tried.
>and he's going to catch him in a run down>which he's not in for very longlol good call
>>144535598bo bitchette
>>144535598top 5
>>144535598you have been seething about this mans looks all night. post face.
>>144535614Pls understand, we suck against shitty pitchers
>>144535594Idc about the Phillies I like the braves fan and they are literally tanking games vs the Mests
>>144535285Why are they even discussing any other candidates after today
I hate the MetsThey're just gonna disappoint me againWhy did my father have to be a god damn Mets fan?Could've been a Yankees fan but NO
>>144535697The Mets have owned the Philly for the last few years.
Kek Gayves fans are seething that Ronnie Acuna didn't get as much attention for his 40/60 year
>>144535697weeeellll now you seem a bit upset, didn't the barves win today? what's on yer mind partner?
>>144535676He swings like a motherfucking chadHis swag makes all da niggas mad
50/50 is a headline news in Japan now.Congratulations!!
>>144535724your team is trash and irrelevant after this season. The braves are 100x better and if not for injuries you wouldn't be sniffing the playoffs punk
>>144535676>HE'S SO UGLY REEE
>>144535761YATTTTTAAAAAAAAAA
>>144535773It's the Mets m8They could be a super team and then choke in the NLDS
>>144535761>Rook! Rook! Nippon most honorlable prayah!
>>144535676imagine ripping out that gay earring with a fishing hook
>>144535676he's not bad looking.
There is no way the Royals make the playoffs this year. They'll fold against the Giants and Nationals, and then the Braves finish them off. Then they go right back to losing 100+ in 2025.
>>144535761>>144535761Ohtani only needed PEDs to make it happen. You don't actually think the genes of a Japanese man could do this naturally, do you? Have you seen his head growth over the last few years?
>>144535676He's kinda cute>t. femanon

>Giants fan>Ohtani has always been one of my favorite players>I hoped so much that he signed my with Jints>Signs with the Dodgers>Still appreciate his greatness even though he plays for my arch rivals>Watching him hit that 50th brought me the same level of sadness when I watched my HS crush dance with her date in prom (who she recently married) after she rejected me;_;

>>144535881frfr?
>>144535914Oh well, you'll always have Bonds, right? You were old enough to watch Bonds in his prime, right anon?
>>144535830>handsome troll flees communism and becomes baseball chadwhy does this anger you so much anon?
He was also the first member of the 50-30 and 50-40 club. 50-25 even. No one's even close.
>>144535959his smug aura mocks me
>>144535936I guess you're right. And I watched my Jints win 3 rings. I even went to game 1 of the 2012 series. Also watched Timmy throw a no-hitter. I guess you're right
>>144535976Even if you put the others into the manfred era and double their steals they still don't get to 50
>>144535959What a cheeky chappie.
>>144535999your story isn't remotely sympathetic
>I will never be able to see Ohtani play in the States at the pinnacle of his career because I’m a poorfag
>>144535999There ya go! Chin up anon :)
>>144535936for me it's always been Jon Dowd

ohtranibros, our jap isn't as special as we've been led to believe....
>>144536039How many HRs would they get with the juiced balls though?
>>144536125Delete this you asshole!
>>144536088faggot, you get to see every game om the internet in hd. it wasn't that long ago you'd be reading a newspaper most of the time to find out what he accomplished.
>>144536141I read somewhere that a player could steal 60 bags a season for something like 20 straight seasons and still have less stolen bases than Rickey. The man was insane.
>>144536141>130 SBswhat's that like 200 Ohtani Bases brought to you by Manfred?
>>144535959not shitposting, im bi and he's legit kinda cute. He's definitely not ugly. He has a nice friendly smile.
>>144536141Ricky was so awesome
fucking steal 2nd marsh
Is Rickey the coolest baseball player of all time?
It’s gonna be one of those nights huh
>>144536202>im biNot a thing
>>144536227No, that was Griffey. But Ricky was pretty damn close.
>>144536164>it wasn't that long ago you'd be reading a newspaperi'm 45 and i remember these days. i would always steal the paper from this old ass house that had a subscription to the la times. good times reading TJ Simers shitting on the dodgers and lakers on a daily basis.
>>144536164>tfw you still listen to every game on AM radio
shoulda kept sevvy in
>>144536241I'd say it is. I lead a lot more towards women, but there are some men I'm attracted to.
>>144536260>TJ SimersI wonder if that salty prick is still alive

>>144536347i have not, im a loser who can't get anyone to date me
great at bat trea
good shit Adams
uh, mets? I had given up on this game wtf are you doing
LOL MESTS
Phillies will get it close enough that people will keep watching but ultimately not win
>he's good at everything >oh shit i complemented a phil better do something>for the most part
>>144536359wow, I missed it. sorry to hear that. the last time I saw him was some of the earlier episodes of around the horn on Espn and I thought he wasn't too crotchety on that show.
I hope Danny Young fucking kills himself
Attaboy paredes
50-50 is not real. It's a category of the mind.
It'll be hilarious when Ohtardi does none of this in the playoffs
What's your favorite Ohtani? For me it'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMfBdEV03j8
Holy based OBP chad White Tyrone
>>144536422following up reading his obit rn. lol>Simers’ abrasiveness also rankled ESPN, which had hired him as a panelist for a new show called “Around the Horn” in 2002. Within a year, Simers publicly blasted the program — “I hate that show. But I hear the cash register going off in my head when I do it” — and was dropped from the lineup.
Nice double play
>>144536422>>144536547lmao the guy was such a dick and i loved it.i honestly forgot all about him until i saw in the news he died. i liked how much dodger players hated his guts in the late 90's/early 00's.

LEPOOKIE TWEETED ABOUT OHTANI
I really really don't want to cheer for an Acuna, but god damn this kid is doing great.
Ronnie Acuna's little brother is better than him
>>144535842jokes on you, his dad is korean
ACUNA RAKES, TROLL SCORED FROM FIRST BASE HOLY KINO!!
Holy fuck he might just actually be the better Acuna
It makes me fucking sick that the Mets have Ronald's brother
These infielders should be shot

>>144536703and a barves GM being banned from baseball*
>>144536583yeah, too bad there aren't more guys like him. The self-righteousness of Plaschke is so much more off putting than someone who is just blunt.
>As Shohei Ohtani walked up to the plate, the Dodgers broadcast showed Skip Schumaker and wondered if he’d call for the intentional walk. >Reading his lips, you could see him mutter: >“Fuck that. I’ve got too much respect for this guy for that shit to happen.”

these fox broadcasters are making me physically ill with the level of slurping going on.
>>144536727the la times is a lost cause. we're lucky we can watch every game now and not depend on newspapers or watching a handful of games on local tv.
>i love to post asian women but I hate to celebrate an asian man’s successWhat did /mlb/ mean by this?
>>144536881>>144536887we are all Ohtani bros right now

>>144536912for all its faults mlb.tv is pretty amazing
50/50 Happened today. Never forget this historic moment.
In light oh Ohtani’s stunning success, I can’t wait for next years crop of hot young Japanese talent. Real flamethrowers with hot bats that always know where to place their stuff. Future stars like >Yamashita Ishishiita>Homahachi Bozinkogu>Icho Watanabishi>Gokundo Sashimisan>Teppanyaki Takagawa

>>144536968agreed
>>144536986Feels good to date an asian girl as a white guy.

>>144536912yeah, we all know the internet has pretty much killed the legacy media, but I still miss reading papers sometimes. not just for nostalgic reasons but because the pacing of life felt more natural for lack of a better way of describing it.
>>144536923If Ohtani wasn't constantly being sucked off to the point it was just trite and annoying I don't think it would be like this. He's a legend but the wankfast around him is insufferable.
>>144536923He only posts K-pop whores and not Japanese ones to be fair.

This team is going to trick themselves into extending Suarez
Bullpen needs to step up!
>>144537065the McGwire-Sosa record chase was far worse, maybe because it was early internet days and people weren't nearly as siloed in their selective echo chambers as much as they are now. Everyone seems to feel nostalgic about those days now. the same thing will happen with this shit after enough time passes.
Schanuel! Keeps his streak going
>>144537154cum eaters rise up!
>>144537201i didn't watch a single dodger game, i could not care less
>>144537201they were making actual history, not fake arbitrary history
>>144537201it was 1998, a decade before everyone had the internet on their person at all times. not even close to comparable.
>>144537141Tbf, baseball just isn’t as big as basketball and American football in the country. It also doesn’t help that Ohtani is very media shy and doesn’t speak English well.Although you have to admit, him getting 50-50 is getting baseball a lot of attention from outsiders now. It’s very much akin to the 80s basketball rise in popularity when Michael Jordan won his first three-peat.
>turns off his vpngrim
>>144537228I basically alluded to that in my second sentence
>>144537201>McGwire-Sosa record chaseif you had actually been alive during this you wouldnt have forgot griffey
METS WIN
LET'S GO METS LET'S GO METS
need a mets double sided dildo asap
>>144537229LOL. Yes it is.
>>144537141Ohtani could be that big if he learned fucking English. Steven A. was 9/10ths a retard in his little rant he had a few years ago but he wasn't entirely wrong about that aspect of the situation. If the guy could speak to people without the need of a translator it would help his marketability considerably.

Mets WON that game.
>>144537354how so? most people today don't give a shit about baseball. it only seems bad because we're all junkies hanging out in a forum about baseball. no one gave a shit about baseball back then either but there was wall to wall coverage everywhere and people didn't have the option to tune into other shit the way they do now.

It would be stupid if we finally got the Dodgers and Astros rematch in the world series this year. It should have been 2021, 2022 or 2023. Now most of the main culprits are gone from Houston, and the players who were associated with the 2017 Dodgers are gone to. No more Puig no More Turner no more bellinger no more seager. The only main Dodger left would be Kershaw. But we don't even know if he's alive at this point is he even going to pitch again this year

>Bullpen melts down again>Still winsFeels good man
>>144537483This would be the most kino shit. Shohei would heroball it but the Astros will always be in the game.

>>144537482Loli better
the script is already written, dodgers are a wildcard exit
Wagaman is not having a good game defensively. Definitely needs some of Wash's fielding drills
Big Jon Singleton infield hit
>>144537614Dodgers have somehow temporarily tied for the best record again with the best run differential in baseball with absolute shit for starting pitching. The Padres are a joke that they haven't taken the division lead.
>>144537544I'm not sure if Taijaun Walker could start for the White Sox.
>>144537491Bonds never had a game like that.
>>144537708I'll just say not a lot of Mets fans were sad when he left.
>popoutStrosThis team is so shit sometimes

>>144537736no one ever has
>>144535149My pirates ):
>>144537770He was average but solid his first year then he got hurt in the offseason and has never recovered. His fastball velocity is down 5 mph and his cutter, split, and change up are all high 80s with little movement. He's just up there throwing batting practice with walks.
Did we just witness the single greatest game a baseball player has ever played?
Imagine being a Japanese girl
Let's go NETO
>>144537816all around offensively, yes.
angelbros will we get free baseball again tonight?
>>144535149i hate the dodgers so fucking much bros
>>144537770yeah I think that he was fine when he was with us, but Walker was losing way too much gas. Not a bad loss looking back.
>>144537816a-rod had the same game back in 2005, and he won mvp that season which ohtani will not
>>144537871only through sheer incompetence
>>144537917>ohtani will notyou have to be retarded if you dont see the gigapush he's getting to hack baseball to a larger audience
>>144537816I'm no Shohei fanboy, but the greatest single day a baseball player ever had was last year when, in a double header against the Tigers, Shohei threw and complete game shut out and hit two home runs in the next game.
>>144537917>4-5>no stealsThat's not the same game.
2 grand slams in the same inning will never be topped
>>144537960oh yeah, that was pretty incredible. crazy how routine he makes this sort of stuff seem for him.
>>144537229>when Michael Jordan won his first three-peat.he hasn't even played in a playoff game KEK
>>144537917People on TV today were talking like Ohtani winning a third MVP this year is a foregone conclusion after this.
>>144538001greatest single inning performance ever!
someone in the football thread posted this>I bet on all of Ohtani's unders today. Mega units on round robin for all his stats under. I haven't looked up the stats on the game yet or anything about it but I should at least get some money. Ohtani's been on a cold streak that i assume is probably continuing through today.I hope he is okay
>>144538033Serves him right for being a degenerate gambler, just like Ohtani
come on Miller
>>144537960the Angels ran Ohtani into the ground. I think the Dodgers need to give Ohtani the day off before or after he pitches, maybe both. You can't have him hitting every day and then pitching or he'll just wear down too easily.
>>144538033probably just a shitpost sadly
>>144538017it was a foregone conclusion in May
>>144535149> does it countYes.Greatest player in history and we are living it
>>144538067It's believable due to the top of the order having an abysmal hitting record this Marlins series versus the rest of the lineup
>>144538054Ohtani would literally do whatever he wanted. He would be told to rest and he didn't because he said he didn't want to. He had the Angels by the balls
>>144538087I really really hope it's true like you, but we'll never know
here's your script>doyers in NLDS>down in series 3-2>have ohtani start in a desperate move>5 innings pitched>aggravates elbow>career ending
>>144538084I don't think he's eclipsed Ruth yet but a few more seasons of this and I might change my mind, especially if he has a few more seasons of top notch pitching.
>>144537960Noah Syndergaard pitched a CGSO and hit a solor homer to win the game. >Ohtani's best day is actually two days I cannot take this faggotry seriously anymore lmao
>>144538008Angels went like 10 years, where every single year they had someone finish in the top-3 of MVP voting, and didn't win a single playoff game. It has to be one of the worst and most embarrassing runs for a team in professional sports history.
>>144535149Why do Americans hate him so much
Wild that Alvarez never broke for home lmao
[W]gg nats
>>144538133We don't.
RIP in peace Shawn Green
>>144538118They're going to use him from the bullpen
>>144538133I don't actually hate him, but his sycophants on here make me enjoy his accomplishments a lot less.
>>144538133i only hate the dodgers.
>>144538122>Noah Syndergaard pitched a CGSO and hit a solor homer to win the game.Yeah that's a damn good game. I miss Thor>Ohtani's best day is actually two daysNope, his best day was one day, a double-header. Nice reading comprehension retard
>>144538185>solor homerlest we forget, he's a shit speller also
>>144538185>hit a solor homerdid he shoot it into the sun?
the ump fucked us
>>144538185>couldn't pitch and hit homers in the same gameKWAB
BIG JON TAKES THE LEAD
It's a football Friday, we're not taking Mets calls today, uhkay.
>>144538222
>My Mets won>My Jets are going to winToday was a good day.
>>144538165who?
>>144538222Sorry that’s not your fault. That was karma for this past series against the Padres coming back around. Nothing personal.
>>144538133Almost every person, even non-baseball fans, loves Ohtani.
It must really piss off Barry B*nds that Ohtani is much better at baseball than he was, without cheating.
Oh, the Astros are playing? Yawn. Is there a more boring team than the cheatin stros?
>>144538264really really like women?
>>144538283no
>>144538295>still seethingIAYC :^)
>>144538284Barry was a much better pure hitter during the insane years he had.
Wow, they are really giving us the zone tonight.
>>144538118doomer kino
>>144538284Barry Bonds pre-steroids: .288/.408/.551Ohtani: .277/.367/.566Closer than I thought
>>144538361Was Barry a better hitter when he wasn't cheating?Did Barry pitch?Yeah. That's what I thought.
>>144538284nah, but David Ortiz is seething that he was snubbed MVP because he was "just a DH"
>>144538172where are they sticking that
GG Astros
>>144538390>Did Barry pitch?always the same cope
>>144538390I stipulated "pure hitter"look at his b ref page. he wasn't striking out those years.
>>144538382>he thinks ohtani isnt roidinghe would be 5'6" 130lbs if china didnt start mutating him from an early age
>>144538431Very interesting, tell me more
>>144538172ayo PAUSE
ASTROS WIN 3-1gg AngelsThat was a shitty game that we somehow escaped with the win. Gotta clean up the RISP hitting and fast.See yal tomorrow
>>144538431nah, Korean men are actually pretty tall on average (compared to the average asian)
>>144538488ohtani is black
>>144538526well, africans on average are shorter than most of the rest of the world
>sfw Barry "Cheater who couldn't pitch" B*nds is never inducted into the Hall of Fame

the Phillies!
>>144538603I saw B*nds play live five times, nerd.
>>144538635you're either lying or just plain fucking stupidin either case you're not to be taken seriously
>>144538279if you saw this pic with no context what would you assume happened?
>>144538665I'm not lying.You know what he didn't do in any of those games?Pitch.
>>144538669I'd assume Altuve got mad at the midget jokes, decided to embrace it, and started dressing as a hobbit
>>144538689you're a stupid pussy. go suck lebron's dick again in /nba/
>>144538689that has nothing to do with the original point you're trying to dispute, the fact that Barry was a much better pure hitter. sounds to me like you're just parroting the prejudices of your parents and haven't developed the capability to form your own objective view.
Padres are 3.5gb with 3 remaining against LA
>>144538279>grae kessinger>"as soon as I saw his shoe come off, I grabbed my glove"
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bondsba01.shtml>zero pitching stats>21 year career>was so bad at pitching he was never even asked to pitch in garbage time in a blowoutPathetic!
>>144538689so Ohtrani's dWAR must be pretty high this year, huh?
>>144538728No, my original point was that Ohtani is, overall, better at baseball than B*nds, and the pitching factors into that.
>>144538607>So passes Taijuan, son of J.J.
>>144537816Absolutely yes, the only thing that would've made it better is if he was safe on that triple attempt in the 3rd inning (he would've had a cycle)Roberts should've challenged the out call for the hell of it
>blackpills /mlb/ refuses to swallowgo
>>144537816only reddit thinks this
>>144538766you're just selectively changing your subjective criteria while ignoring a very specific observation you can't make an argument against and then acting smug about it. go on and admit it manchild.
>>144538787Comparing baseball players from very different eras is asinine and a waste of time
>>144538823correct, any stolen bases after the new enlarged and pitching rule changes aren't comparable and should be taken with a grain of salt
>>144538820>changing your subjective criteriaNo? What post came first, >>144538284 or >>144538361 ?
Just have to deal with one or two more starts of Taijuan Walker this season. God, he is such ass.

>>144537816Mark Whiten is close; Ohtani might have done ithttps://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN199309072.shtml
>>144538841Yes? How have you actually refuted this specific point>>144538361?
>>1445387631989 was B*nds' most impactful year as a fielder. In that season, his Rtot was 37, meaning his fielding that year was worth 37 runs above average.In 2022, Ohtani's RAA, or runs better than average, as a pitcher, was 40.Thus Ohtani's pitching was more impactful than B*nds' fielding.
>>144538877Anon, which post came first?
>>144538873that's actually very impressive since he was playing baseball for over 6 hours that day since it was a double header and the first game started at 6pm
>>1445388736 for 6 with 2 stolen bases also is hard to top. there's been like 5 or so other players with 4 home run games

>>144538983and you wonder why he gets hate here...
>>144535149Shohei sama, i kneel.
>>144538983I appreciate Ohtani more than you have the capacity to do. You don't know baseball. You live in a fantasy world.
>>144538892let's see bonds' hitting as a full time DH
>>144538988t. malding zoomer
>>144538974OK, let me explain this like YOU are a child:I said that Ohtani was better at baseball than B*nds in >>144538284This post was made BEFORE >>144538361Then in >>144538689 I pointed out that B*nds didn't pitch, which factors into my assessment that Ohtani was better at baseball.Then in >>144538820 you claim that by pointing out that B*nds didn't pitch, I'm somehow changing my criteria.My criteria was always simply that Ohtani is better at baseball than B*nds. That didn't change. Me pointing out that B*nds didn't pitch was relevant to my original stated criteria.In conclusion, you are retarded.
only reason he put up arcade numbers is because the marlins put in position players to pitch and didn't walk him like any serious MLB team would've in that situation. bent over backward to pad his stats for him. fucking insane lack of self-respect by every bitch in the marlins locker room
>>144539036lmaoI ain;t reading that shit.go watch your anime viddies retard.
>>144539050You lost the argument.
>The fan who caught Shohei Ohtani’s 50th Home Run baseball has opted to walk away with it. Dodgers did not get it back.based, get your bag king
>>144539050based
he...he thinks ohtani is the mvp. oh honey...honey no. you sweat summer child, who hurt you?
>>144539058you never even showed up
>>144539050in conclusion, you're retarded
>>144536656Don't cry, Kim.The name of Ohtani has existed since the over 1000 year ago in Japan.
>>144539087keep winning son
>>144539050here's your crown, king
>>144539089ESL moment
ohtani is already 30? wtf? youre telling me we have less than 5 years left of this guy? why are people acting like his career is just beginning? there is nowhere to go but down.
>>144539089Sorry buddy he's oppa gangnam style
>>144539112wait until you find out Judge is 32
>>144539112>why are people acting like his career is just beginning?no one is acting like this.
I would trust Shohei Ohtani to marry my daughter.However, I would not trust Barry B*nds to marry my daughter.I can't quite put my finger on why. It's just my instinct when I look at their faces. I don't understand why. But it's like, I look at their faces and while I would trust Ohtani to marry my daughter, there's something about the way B*nds looks where I would not trust him around my unlocked bicycle, let alone my daughter.I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
>>144539112Gwynn did it for 20 years
>>144539131you don't have a daughter.
>>144539112Why are you assuming he can only be successful as a DH for four more years?
>>144538121Bro everyone reveres Ruth (as we should).But come on. Ruth is worse. Doesn't make Ruth bad. Just Ohtani is probably the best for the next 100 years.
>>144539131>he would le heckin based asian to impregnate his daughter like a complete cuckYikes weeaboo post
>>144539144gwynn had that dawg in him and looked unathletic. for some reason those guys can play forever (probably because they dont waste time/energy working out and just get by on natural talent)
>>144539156Has Ohtani put up a 14.1 WAR season?Has Ohtani led the league in ERA?Has Ohtani hit 714 HR?Has Ohtani won the World Series?Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
>>144539115North Japan people are tall, because they have Jomon's DNA.Ohtani is also born in the north.
>>144539175he was always a pure hitter, but he couldn't run or field for shit the back half of his career.
>yfw the dodgers still choke in the NLDS
Dodgers win!
>>144539175someone said his eyes were an order of magnitude better than regular eyes, some weird defect that worked in his favor as a hitter
>>144539199we'll probably lose but it's not choking. everyone knows our pitching is shit.
>Ohtani fans aren't satisfied with the endless media suck off and have to start shitting on Bonds because they can't appreciate greatness
>>144539209>someone
>>144538922Checked>>144538927Ohtani is more likely than anyone to be the only 5HR game
daniel nava
>>144539181Ohtani won't even get to 500 home runs in his career
>>144539217it's choking.
>B*nds fans defend a cheater because fuck wypipo I guess
thanks manfred
How bad will Roberts ruin Ohtani’s historic season??
>>144539209Same thing with Ted Williams, nearly all the best hitters had 20/10 vision or better IIRC
>>144535842>Have you seen his head growth over the last few years?
It was also in Miami where Ohtani pitching struck out Trout to win the World Baseball Classic.
>>144535149i don't watch this sport what is the 50/50 significance
>>144539217If the pitching shits the bed because of the rotation being crippled to hell then so be it, but if the hitting shits the bed like mookie and freeman did last year that's a choke
and just like that, all of thugtani's scandals magically disappear.
>>144539221I love Ohtani but don't lump me in with those faggots. What Bonds did was inhuman just like what Ohtani is doing. You can't really compare them because they're both very different and both singular talents.
>>144539246as the doyers lose in the NLDS to the padres, 3 games to 1
>>144539248
>>144539258that's fair
>>144539269ahem
>>144539242You did not watch Barry, it's fine. Not even a Giants or Pirates fan. He was the best, and all the pitchers of the era would tell you the same>muh steroidsIt was pre-Mitchell Report, there was an insane amount of juicing in the sport. But no one else was cracking a fucking .500 OBP
>>144539257Ohtani is the first player to recieve 50 blowjobs and 50 rimjobs simultaneously
>>144539285Again, I saw him live five times.Yes, he was the best player in baseball before he cheated. He was essentially Mays 2.0. I'm well aware of this.He's also a dirty fucking cheating jogger.
>>144539257it's not, it's an arbitrary number (round) of 2 non-related stats
>>144539283LOL
>>144539299>first ever>arbitraryokay retard
>>144539261That's true and my apologies. Ohtani will have one of the most insane peaks of all time, just won't have the longevity due to NPB career and TJ surgeries. Just hate the pissing match from fans who can't even be assed to watch Bonds vs Gagne
>>144539283The 2020 season should've been 100 games but Manfred was being a total faggot with the MLBPA
>>144535959have they done a treasure troll bobblehead for him

Holy fucking shit mlb instagram is right out sucking the nips dick 19 posts in a row these cocksuckers have no shame
>>144539321they aren't fans, they're faggots who don't actually love the game as a whole.
James Shields lol
>>144539367I mean he did just have arguably the greatest offensive game in league history.
>>144539367kek holy based

>>144539381by which metric? not the most hits, not the most home runs, not the most rbis, not the most runs scoredit's the "greatest offensive game" in RECENT history, especially for zoomers, like you, who haven't watched much baseball
>>144539388>>144539003
>>144539408seething about something? weird
>>144539298He was also the best player in baseball after he cheated, in a league that ignored cheating because fan enthusiasm was in the fucking toilet after the 94 strike and PEDs were good for business.>joggerNow you're gonna complain that he was rude to journalists.
>>144539430ironic :^)
>>144539435I agree :^)
>>144539381not even close
>>1445394136-6 but 3 of those at bats were against position playershe also went 7-20 in the series, so there's that
>>144539456what are you talking about? the only ab against a position player was hit last one
>>144539413On the whole it might be the most impressive offensive performance ever. 10+ RBI has happened I think 16 times and coupled for 6-6 and 17 TB (?) is a fucking one-man shellacking. Feel free to correct me if I'm overlooking something obvious.
>>144539472weird concession
>>144539472It's the steals that make this performance statistically unique compared to other similar performances.The historical significance of the game also plays a role when considering if it is the greatest offensive performance of all-time.
>>144539493>*bigger bases
>>1445394724-4 with 2 doubles, a hr, 2 runs scored, 5 rbis and 2 sb had never been done before. He added 2 more homers, 2 runs and 5 rbi's on top of that.
>>144539499Better catchers with better arms, too.
>sweeden working overtimethe hatred is just growing the more you slob on the knob
LETS GO SWEDENCLAP CLAP CLAP

>>144539499Also pick-off attempt limit
schizo hours already? boy how time flies
>>144539493That I can get. If I'm being pedantic the out on the basepaths is gonna get overlooked because he was cycle hunting, but on the face of it I can't think of a better single-game offensive performance in my time watching baseball (not adjusting for opponent of course).
>schizo still replying to himselfweird :^)
>>144539554Two of the home runs were also absolutely fucking massive, majestic blasts.
>>144539569Doesn't really count for anything extra in the box. I guess that goes for the steal of 3B too tho

Do we gain magic number if say Mets, braves, sneks lose, I think it's 5 atm. Boils down on who wants the division more once we face the Dodgers and Dbacks.
>>144538283ton of people hate him. i see comments on social media and youtube calling him a gambler and cheater all the time
>>144539089Based Japanese nationalist
>>144539257Imagine not knowing. Use Google idiot.
What are the rules. Sometimes I see all bases loaded and hitter just pops it up and runners score even if ball is caught. And sometimes no one scores if ball is caught. At least that's how I see it
