THE GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME IN ANY SPORT EVER
>10K>No runs allowed>3HRExplain this in football (soccer).
>>151431886Imagine a goalie playing striker in different halves of the game.
>I kneel Othani San
>>151431460mid
>>151431886Messi but he also defends and runs 15km per game.
Reality beyond anime.
I feel sorry for all the sports he didn't choose.
so he's the main character and we're all NPCs, what's even the point of life
But would he be a good quarterback?
>>151431460no ones ever going to even sniff tiger status
>>151432103Ohtani didn't rig his home runs
Would like to see him try that against the Jays...
>>151432581I forgot to add that chicanos can't stop thinking about either of them all day. Man, they really are alike.
>>151431886Messi beats Bayern 8-2 after scoring 5 goals and is also simultaneously the goalkeeper
>>151432103If we say Ohtani in football, he plays both striker and goalkeeper in the same game.
>>151432874lol
>>151431886Courtois vs Liverpool in the AND Lewandowski scoring 4 goals against Real Madrid. All in one game. By one person.
>>151432874>gaped by the Celtics and Pistons>couldn’t play baseballLol Jordan was a fraud that needed rules changes and the league to win.
>>151431886Kinda like a player scoring a hat trick and being the main assist on two other goals, while saving four shot attempts on an open net. Imagine Paolo Maldini but he's also a world-class striker.
Japan!
>>151431460He's kind of fag and a shitty person though. I just don't like him.
>>151432956Except Ohtani didn't give up any runs. That was the relievers.
>>151433053Almost no great athlete is an admirable human
>Ohtani-sama I kneel>Free plastic qts to all for demolishing the absolute state of Milwaukee
>>151431460
>>151433077Tom Brady is nice
>>151433172Not nice enough to keep his family together
>>151431460i want his potential biological son to fuck my daughter
didn't even pitch the whole game huge story loss
can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke
>>151433155g-d damn... he just like me fr fr... so based
>>151431886Wayne Rooney
>>151431460Hey… Japan, stand up!!
>>151433282If you guys would just get into baseball ready you could have a dome. Than you can hit dingers while it snows. I'll never understand why you guys went neither cricket nor baseball
>>151432487He is 6'3, has an arm, and can run. So yeah, probably could have been a great qb.
>>151433932Lack of effort put into expanding the game abroad. In Scandinavia we all play bastardized baseball variants growing up (brännboll in Scandinavia and pesäpallo in Finland), but no one knows anything about actual baseball or how it's even played. Effort should have been put in post-WW2. It could have easily stuck in at least parts of Europe.
>>151434043I'm sorry we failed you. I hope for a World World Series, or a even crazier World Baseball classic.
>>151434043If only the US had nuked Germany...
sir donald bradman is objectively the goat
>>151431460But can he flash any leather? He can't be truly an undisputed GOAT unless he gets as many Gold Gloves as Maddux.
>>151434043The Czechs, Italians, Dutch, etc. are somewhat getting into it. Sure it involves some immigrants and islanders but it seems to be catching on more.
>>151431886Ohtani always trains harder than anyone, like Cristiano Ronaldo, and never drinks alcohol. In the first half, he dominates the field like Franz Beckenbauer while defending like Oliver Kahn. In the second half, he scores effortlessly like Messi, breaks the net with the missile-like super goal by Ronaldo Nazário, crushes the enemy's will, wins the WC and the CL, and gains the insane attention in his home country as David Beckham, but always acts with the humility of Andrés Iniesta and has a wonderful family.

>>151431460Ohtani-sama... I offer my naked, prostrated dogeza...
>>151431460he really is just the biggest kid in little league while he's out there
>>151431460>goes mum while the rest of the order picks up the slack through the majority of the playoffs>goes nuts only when the Dodgers are already up 3-0 in the NLCS>also snatches the series MVP behind the ONE game he performsit is kinda funny when you think about it
>>151431460Being an LA fag is great everyone dropped talking about the lelkers except to make jokes about lebum and his son then jumped right onto the Ohtani train
>>151431886Is this the Daigo parry of baseball?!?!
>>151434569if you go 6 scoreless with 10 Ks and hit 3 dingers in one game someone else has to step up to deserve it over you in a short 4 game sweep and no one else really dideveryone contributed fairly equally but ohtani personally snuffed them in that game so it makes sense
>>151431460actually the goatrespect mr. japanese man
Imagine it happened in a game 7
>>151434569>unprecedented historic performance in a series clinching gamenobody else really deserved it over him
>>151431460>GOATANIdude jobbed for 9 consecutive gamesthen had the single greatest postseason game performance imaginablehow do he do it?????
>>151431460Are we approaching a timeframe where other fanbases start to give up, because the Dodgers are just too darn good?
>>151431886Scoring 6 goals and also saving 5 penalty kicks
>>151431460Genuinely upset I missed the game
>>151431460Joining the angels was a genuine mistake. bro would have 3 or 4 rings by now
yeah but did you watch tiger woods at pebble beach us open in 2000?
>>151431460The "Shohei Ohtani rule" was a double entendre.
how do you stop him
>>151431460Literally who
>>151435930Ohtani = Cristiano Ronaldo + Oliver Kahn
>>151431460All time best performance in a game. Legendary stuff.
>all time great playoff performance>doesn't get as much attention as some mid NFL regular season game with two 40something quarterbacks
>>151431886Schmeichel keeping a clean sheet and scoring a hat-trick.
>>151431886Most replies are overselling it. Every player in baseball switches between offense and defense with pitchers usually being the exception and Ohtani being the exception to the exception and very good at both.
I don't even see how this gets explained in soccer terms when in baseball, it's essentially the defense attacking the offense. There's nothing else that compares besides cricket obviously. Imagine if penalty kicks start with the keeper trying to kick it past the penalty taker instead of the other way around.
goofy ass nigga
>>151434569Gookers will ignore this, the poor, inferior specimens that they are.
>>151437301go back to complaining about inappropriate games on steam
>>151436874For all his accomplishments, he just can't get anywhere near the aura of Ichiro.
>>151431886
>>151437433its the face and the coverage, when you see ohtani live he usually looks goofy for some reason. ichiro never have this
I said Hey Hey Hey!
Helps when you have 3 or 4 other future hall-of-famers on the team
>>151432551>golf not a sport
>>151437819no it's just that ichiro is sovl while ohtani is soulless
>>151437819It’s like he never lost the baby fat on his face
>>151437819You could make one of those Japan before/after memes out of them.
>>151438020That doesn't help him on the mound. That doesn't even help him at the plate. He gets less opportunities to hit because other teams are so afraid of Ohtani that they constantly intentionally walk him. They'd rather pitch to Mookie, another Hall of Famer, with a runner on base than pitch to Ohtani.
>>151438888Digits of truth
>>151431460Seems astroturfed
>>151431886Goalkeeper does a clean sheet, prevents the opposing team from going to the other side of the pitch, and scoring a hat trick.
>>151431886It's like Cristiano Ronaldo sucking off 10 dudes, and also being dom for 3 dudes in one night.
>>151431460He's Lev Yashin, Lionel Messi, Zinedine Zidane, and Franz Beckenbauer combined into one player.
doinks out for ohtani
>doyerpacos trying to pick a fight with argies and huescool
Can't be the GOAT in an irrelevant sport nobody watches that gets beat by women's college basketball.

Why are we letting these immigrants take American jobs?
It’s funny how most Japanese Professional Baseball players wouldn’t make it in American minor leagues but every once in a while there’s a jap that is the 1% of the 1% of the 1%
>>151441138kek seething chicano dog
>>151441095>it's so irrelevantso you can finaly stop seething over it for 12 hours per day, right? good for you, man
>>151441282zuttkaner is addicted to black men so he'll never stop trying to bring up football
just need korean and taiwanese versions of ohtani (pbuh) so baseball can be the goated sport of east asia for all eternity
kek of course a sport with a fanbase of asians and hispanics would have little man syndrome
Greatest playoff performance ever? Many are saying this.
>>151431886A player is good attacker and a good defender?!In basketballIn footballIn hockeyIn rugbyIn volleyball>not in american footballShocking, really. It never happened in any sport at all!
>>151441095Is hockey dying? Or has it always been that far behind the other major sports in north america?
My goat doesn't gamble and let him translator be the fall guy
>>151441795it's only a subset of white people who care about it, vast majority of american whites watch football (pro or college). And these are just american numbers, so all the canadians watching aren't includedbaseball only went up slightly recently because the illegal hispanics who have been coming into america are from baseball latin america
>>151441795Unfortunately it's always been really far behind. Similar to tennis, it's really expensive both to get into and commit long term, and it doesn't pay nearly as much as basically any other sports league.It's a shame cuz it's one of the most exciting sports to watch.phv20
>>151441337I know it would be hard for many posters here to believe but I'm pretty sure that he's some kind of asian who just hates Japan and the Japanese to death. Nobody else is autistic enough to do this shit when you don't even like baseball.If he actually simply hates Latinos and don't even like baseball, he would have been a straightforward /pol/tard and wouldn't spend hours just to shit on Dodgers every fucking day.Some type of asian can dedicate their life to do this kind of activity. Maybe he really really hates that a Jap becomes a star athlete in the US even though he will never admit.
>>151442964if you're actually japanese you're more cucked than any thirdiewe nuked you TWICE and you fucking become our cultural vassalsyou agreed to sabotage your economy because we asked you tonow you celebrate us cucking your players from you, players who pay AMERICAN tax and make money for AMERICAN companiesi know you asiatics have a massive inferiority complex because you're dicklets but learn your place
the chinese are the only respectable east asiasn

Imagine your 20% population genocided in the most irrelevant proxy war, its lives must be worth less than bugs life there.>Curtis LeMay in Strategic Air Warfare "We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, some way or another, and some in South Korea, too. Over a period of three years or so, we killed off, what, 20 percent of the population?” MacArthur in 1951 “The war in Korea has already almost destroyed that nation of 20 million people. I have never seen such devastation. After I looked at that wreckage and those thousands of women and children … I vomited.”>British journalist Reginald Thompson was shocked by the ignorance and racism of the American military, who referred to Koreans as “gooks” and Chinese soldiers as “chinks” during Korean war. J. Howard McGrath, referred to the Koreans as “rodents,” and thus had no regrets about the ongoing slaughter. In 1951, war correspondent Tibor Meráy said that there were “no more cities in Korea.” He added, “My impression was that I am traveling on the moon because there was only devastation—every city was only a collection of chimneys.” >The US dropped a total of 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, on Korea. By comparison, the U.S. dropped 160,000 on Japan during WW2. Winston Churchill, among others, criticized American use of napalm, calling it "very cruel", he said, were "splashing it all over the civilian population", "tortur[ing] great masses of people". American official who took this statement declined to publicize it. An estimated 2.5 million Koreans died in the bombing, most of them civilians, many of them incinerated by napalm.>Kill 'em All: American War Crimes in Korea https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8kvln0>Sinchon Museum of American War Atrocities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVezYV-5aJQ
>>151441646It's not like that at all. It's a completely different skillset. Remember how Neuer used to get praise from coaches for his ballplaying/decision making abilities? They would say something along the lines of that Neuer could have been a center back in the German 3rd division if he truly wanted instead. That was high praise for Neuer. This is nothing like that. Forget 3rd division. Forget center back. This is like if Neuer not only had the skillset to be Lewandowski, but actually was Lewandowski and did both things in the same game at the same time. Elite levels of goalkeeping and goal scoring abilities simultaneously. If it sound unrealistic, it's because it is. It doesn't sound real. It shouldn't be real. Yet through just one single person in the entire universe it's somehow actually real.
>>151445255>>151445255>>151445255Gooks deserved it though
>>151431460i dont watch gay american sports so no i dont know this so called goat
>>151437819>>151438073He needs to grow a beard and grow his hair long. Like ZZ Top.
>>151441206Better them than stinky blacks
>>151437301no australian has ever accomplished anything
>Babe Ruth had a win-loss record of 94-46 and an earned run average of 2.28 during his pitching career.
>>151453015I mean this nigga played against literal farmers.
>>151453324Kek so they were in better shape than half the league now
>>151437301mate u inhabit an island that was designated for white trash and now its becoming china 3.0 just after canada. sit the fuck down.

>>151431460>THE GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME IN ANY SPORT EVERThank you, but I already know.The FACT that I set just my many of my recorder over 50 years ago just shows you.
>>151431460Is there anything surgical that can be done about a centimetre's difference in eye height?
>>151431460Is he Jomon or Yayoi?
>>151446999Why?
>>151435182it was the smartest play, so he could get roided without drawing too much attention
>>151439804It's true. And I smile whenever I see his big face selling me tea at Seicimart.
>>151459693Ainu.
>>151431460Is he this guy?
>>151431460>THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE BITCH?!
tell me when he hits a hr in the WS
>>151434593That's the 2004 ALCS
Stickball is not a sport
>>151480085It is but your flag eliminates your opinion anyway.
>>151432303He was clearly bred for sumo, look at those cheeks he is fighting his true 500lb form
>>151431886The K means strikeouts right? I dont watch mlb baseball, but I wasnt aware 10 strikeouts is a supposedly high number in a 27 out game (9 innings times 3 outs. Granted I imagine most outs are due to grounders or fly balls being caught. I could maybe see it as a higher than average number, but wasnt aware it was a legendary amount of outs by a pitcher. But once again, I dont know anything about baseball
>>151483290he only pitched 6 innings
>>151432956would this analogy imply bayern are dogshit tho?
>>151480085>Wales>Relevant
>Yuropoors seething over someone not flopping like a faggot on grass
>>151486212for a professional pitcher, how many K's out of the 3 outs per inning is considered good?
>>151491581A pitcher doesn’t necessarily need to produce strikeouts to be a good pitcher; they’re mostly rated by how many hits and runs they allow. To answer your question, getting at least one per inning is better than good.
> it's as if was neuer and messi at the same time retarded comparisons.football and baseball are completely different sports. You could compare him to cricket players but not football players. There's no reason for a player to be a great attacker and great goalkeeper at the same time because he can't be in two places at once.
>>151431886It'd be like if a QB threw for 300 yards, 3 TD's while also getting 3 sacks and an INT on defense.
>>151431886It would be like if ronaldo had a beautiful tranny with a giant dick who could be either the man or the woman in bed
>>151491581For perspective, Trey Yesavage just had a great game with less strikeouts, more hits and more runs than Ohtani in under 6 innings.
>>151431460He's half white (father) and half korean (mother.Japan should stop claiming him as a pure yamato.
>>151446324Soccer is a lousy comparisson. Cricket has players bowling and hitting, and players are doing just fine. There were historically many all-rounders that did both really well. Baseball has always allowed separated hitting and batting, and it's just rule pandering. You can change pichers and batters anytime, even DH rule is universal now. There is just no incentive to have player do both per baseball rules. And it was even worse in the past. They change an important rule just to fit Ohtani. In the past, whenever a pitcher had to be subbed out of the game, he couldn't bat anymore. Now he can magically continue the game as a DH, even though a team substituted him out of the game for another pitcher.Per your soccer comparison, that's like if a player played like shit as an attacker, and you could substitute him for another attacker, but he still stayed in the game as a goalkeeper.
