What is the Ohtani effect you ask?>Dodgers losing 5-0>Ohtani steps up to bat>Pitcher throws every ounce of energy he has to strike him out>Pitcher doesn't have anything left in the tank>Dodgers tie the game within one inning>5-5THAT is the Ohtani effect. If that upsets you, find whatever it is that can help you cope, chud.
nigga got carried
play a real sport like Frank VANDENBROUCKE
That chigga jobbed the whole WS and is only in the lineup so Japs will bother tuning in
>>145412175isn't there another jap what happened to him?
>>145413045Yamamoto is the Yankee's Daddy.
>>145413045Yamamoto pitched yesterday if I remember correctly.
>>145413045dodgers had a jap AND a gook a few years back
theyll never be as POWERFUL as prime Frank VANDENBROUCKE
>>145408277Sorry friend, I know this was an audition for ESPN but alas they don't even pretend to care about manfredball anymore
>>145408277Carried fraud
qrd why everyone hates ohtani?
>>145413258he lacks the PANACHE, FLAIR, and SAVOIR FAIRE of PRIME Frank VANDENBROUCKE, and will NEVER win Paris-Nice or Liège–Bastogne–Liège
>One-oh-five-tani
>>145413258the lights are too bright for him
>>145411552fpbpI like Ohtani, but this is true. Betts and Freeman carried him.
>>145413258>hits lots of dingers off manfred juiced balls>bah god he's babe ruth reincarnated!>steals lots of bases off manfred's new meme rules>we've never seen anything like this before!>breathes>J-jesus, is that you!? Why are you Chinese?
>>145413258It’s just 4chan being contrarian again. Granted he didn’t really show up during the WS but his effect on the opposing team’s psyche is a real factor. It’s like playing against Jordan or Ronaldo/Messi, they may have an off night but them being on the field against you is damaging enough to your team’s confidence and morale.
>>145413514ok but why hasn't anyone else done this THOUGH
>>145413589Get fucked coper. They would have won without him in the lineup.
>>145413045Dave Roberts is half-Jap if that counts for anything, but he’s also half-black.
>>145413619i want to live in a world where Frank VANDENBROUCKE is in every lineup
>>145413258He didn’t do anything this series, but he was injured and the pitchers were deathly afraid of him. Mookie and Freeman delivered so much more.
what's with multiple people itt saying Mookie was good this series? he wasn't good either, better than Ohtani but not by much, his main contribution was hustling to beat out a retarded Rizzo and Cole on the weakest ground ball of all time.
>>145413817He’s a good outfielder and while I haven’t seen the latest stats, last I checked he had the highest on-base percentage of any player in the series. Maybe post-season too, or that might’ve been Kwan. Ended up pairing extremely well with Freeman who was undeniably MVP. He’s just a smart player who doesn’t try to go for home runs all of the time.
>>145408277Ohtani and Judge are mercenaries who delivered the deathblow to a dying sport.Literally no one will talk about any of this in 10 years.NFL supremacy now and forever sweetie
>>145414021I can’t watch football anymore. All of the penalties and flags and reviews and rule changes killed my interest. Every Super Bowl now seems to be won on some technicality.
>>145413950he had like a .700 ops this series, without the squibbler non error it would be like .650. no extra baseball hits, 4 runs scored. he was ok, but it was really a Freeman one man show for the most part
I want to fuck a Japanese woman
The ohtani effect is eradicating the old dodger losing culture and replacing it with a winning one
>>145414118Flag?
>>145414118fair observation, but still there are fun games happening every week when the refs don't show up too much.baseball just lost it's spark, the 2016 WS was probably the last great one in our lifetimes.
>>145413112Edman is half Korean.
>>145414227why couldn't he give the angels a winning culture?
>>145413258Haters are going to hate. They're broken people.
>>145414151Freeman was very good, but I Mookie was on base every time he hit. Pretty much any time he gets up he’ll be on base. He actually tied Freeman for home runs this post season and was statistically the best player on the Dodgers this postseason.
>>145414368Frank VANDENBROUCKE knows that feel
>>145414494Oh Jeez I’m tired.
>>145414494he scored 4 runs, Ohtani scored 2. in the postseason as a whole they both scored 14. betts was their best player in the postseason but Ohtani was pretty good too until he got injured.and it's undeniable that teams were more scared of Ohtani than of Betts and he changed their game plans more. pitching changes were made in front of Ohtani (to hopefully also deal with freeman) and Betts was the platoon beneficiary of all those moves.
>>145414565Cute headcanon, weeb.
>>145413444Max Muncy didn't get a hit and won a ringBallin'This Dodger team would have been unstoppable of him and Smith were hitting
>>145413514I've only watched baseball for 3 years, and I've been saying for two years the best hitters are>1.Freeman>2.Judge>3.OhtaniAnd you can probably slot Soto in as high as 2 if you wanted (I don't F that clown)
>>145415352And with the new rules someone like Acuna or De La Cruz that stolen base total, they will just do it with like 30-35 homers
>>145413486also tommy baseball
>>145408277>do nothing>winTruly Asian/10Japs should be proud he's able to do what Xi does
>>145408277Don't forget game 1>scores tying double>Boon puts Cortes in specifically to counter Ohtani>Nestor gives up a grand slam in his very next pitchEven in game 3 after his injury, Boon was making pitching decisions more to counter Ohtani than to counter Betts or Freeman.
>>145413619Dodgers lose game 1 without him, probably game 3 as well.
>>145416032Weebs have no shame: the post.
>>145414565This. Nevermind his actual tangible contributions that he made in games 1 and 3, Boon was managing like Ohtani getting hot again was the #1 thing he was afraid of.
>>145416111He batted .100 lol
>>145414118Even worse is the QB running down the field and fake sliding and balking while the defenders are afraid to touch them because of the gay rule to prop up retarded QBs who can't think and work in the pocket and need to run every play.
>>145416122So then why was Boon so afraid of him?
>>145416139That's your headcanon cope.2 for 19.
>>145416150theyre super pathetic
>>145416150>wouldn't have won game 1 without him
>>145416177>.105
>>145416234And even with such a low batting average, they still wouldn't have won game 1 without him.
>>145413382gay in a gay sport
>>145416253Your cope is embarrassing.
>>145416282>hitting balls with my wood is...LE MANLY SPORTIF!11kwaboty
>>145415352Freeman was always a top hitter but they'd never acknowledge it until he was in either LA or NY. Because for some reason the Braves aren't one of the biggest markets even though they are.
The japanese are gonna have him be front of the parade.You know this to be truelittle tokyo has sucked since curry house an hero'd
cop or nah?
>>145416926Much based.
>ohtani was carried by guys who couldnt win a non asterisk title on their own
>>145416982>Half the team were there 4 years ago.Mono
