The extra time has been going on since 2022. I''m pretty sure his team has faced Shohei the pitcher before and I don't remember him complaining about the extra time given to a twp until now.😒
#BlueJays manager John Schneider is frustrated as Shohei Ohtani is granted extra time to warm up.

Did you also complain about this when it was implemented in 2022 while he was still with the Angels?🤔
the shohei ohtani rule should stipulate that the starting pitcher has to go like at least five innings to keep the dh. if there's gonna be a special boy rule he should have to pitch like a special boy.

2x WORLD CHAMP

So proud of Ohtani, expected to shoulder everything this season & postseason, impacting the games in ways that casual baseball connoisseurs don't pick up. Literally the Dodgers plot armor, as haters often whine, he was the one constant for the team & has nothing to hang his head over
You rarely see Shohei look like this. He didn’t have his best stuff, but he had been pushing himself as hard as he could and giving up a 3 run homer in Game 7 was likely like a knife through the heart . You are and always will be the king

Most bases in a World Series (Total Bases + BB + HBP).

Barry Bonds had 35 in the 7-game 2002 World Series (22 TB + 13 BBs).

George Springer is 2nd with 34 in 2017 in 7 games.

No one else has more than 30.

Shohei Ohtani has 23 (17 TB + 6 BB) so far. He's played in 3 games.

Ohtani’s Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS is the Millennial version of Bob Gibson’s Game 7 of the 1967 World Series.

From when Dodger Stadium opened in 1962 through 2023, the Dodgers had 11 individual seasons with 29+ home runs and 15+ steals

Shohei Ohtani this season hit 29 home runs and stole 15 bases *at home*, and also scored 79 runs in 81 games at Dodger Stadium

The W-L record for Sho surprised me but it's also a proof that when he's the SP for the Angels his teammates were locked in. They rarely waste his starts.
Through 100 career games pitched:

Clayton Kershaw: 32-26, 3.19 ERA, 603 strikeouts

Shohei Ohtani: 39-20, 3.00 ERA, 670 strikeouts

I would say that this guy is pretty good at baseball. And he isn’t a gambler, real estate criminal, or a punk who spits at little kids no matter how much you haters want to spin that narrative. Yeah, he isn’t on your team and he isn’t a corn-fed yank- he is the great, one and only Ohtani.

When pressed in the postgame, Ohtani said he hadn't felt good for the past couple of days but that he played on because he knew the team needed all hands on deck.

Not 100% & still giving all. Textbook Ohtani. Yet the ingrates continue to complain and make uninformed judgments.
No fkn grace ever.

Accidents happen in baseball. Part of the game. Address accidental hit by pitches by awarding 3 bases or maybe a run. That'll cut the BS. But, there is no place in the league at all for premeditated 100 mph bullets to the body or head of any player. That's assault with a deadly weapon. Disgusting.

Spidey senses never fail. I like to "read" managers & sniff for "off" vibes. Never fails to pay off in a chuckle. Loved "reading" opposing managers like Dusty Baker, Bochy, AJ Hinch, Skip Shumaker, etc.

And then there are the "microaggressives" out there.

Notice who Shildt leaves off his "list" 🤭

By scoring runs much more frequently than he’s driving them in, the three-time MVP has found yet another way to be unlike anyone else.

Ohtani kinda has to reach out and hit it off-balance on his heel, in a way you see on a lot of grounders punched foul but he's Shohei Ohtani so he just hits it 400 feet to right center instead

The axiom about baseball being a game of failures hits home when you start expecting the superstar player to do superstar stuff in big moments. The game rebukes you so often, you feel silly.

There have been two exceptions to this in my lifetime. Barry Bonds was one. Shohei Ohtani is the other.

Kondoh is now Shohei when Yoshinobu is pitching.🤭
"hE sHoULd JuSt bE a HiTTeR" 🤦

Would you ask someone who has a better career MLB ERA+ than Verlander & Gerrit Cole & Glasnow... to give up pitching?!

Like, his alter ego on the mound is something to behold...

Anyway, here's a funny clip of pitcher Ohtani taking the piss on ol' teammate Kondo 😭😂

People often disregard the things that they can't understand.🤷‍♀️
I love “WAR is a made up stat” like God handed down “earned runs allowed * 9 divided by innings pitched.”

Like “hits (but not errors) divided by at bats (but not plate appearances)” is some kind of immutable law of nature.
GIDPs, that’s what’s important
