Turns out Shohei Othani is very good at baseball. Please pay your respects here. He hits 450 ft home runs to dead center (often against Cy Young winners). https://streamable.com/0gnoo https://streamable.com/9kl3n https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/04/07/1910998983/1523069649178/asset_2500K.mp4 He throws 100 mph fastballs and can strike out 10 people on 65(!!!!!) pitches. https://streamable.com/ntd5n Please come here to pay your respects to the greatest player the major leagues has seen since Babe Ruth. I'm a fan of a rival team in the same division and I have accepted Shohei as my lord and savior - I suggest everyone do the same.

I'm sad he didn't sign with the Jays, but at least they gave it the old college try. Also Intruder posted:thank gently caress he's not a Yankee

The Angels have two of the greatest players of all time and potentially a third all on the same roster. They still won’t win a single game in October.

Shohei Ohtani has struck out more batters than Chris Sale and has hit more home runs than Aaron Judge. Until yesterday, he had as many wins and more home runs than the Kansas City Royals.

Albert hasn't really been in that kind of conversation since coming to the AL but remember how amazing he was for 11 years on the Cards. He's still probably one of the top 20 or so best hitters of all time.

I was meaning maybe for Ohtani, it's still early. Albert is going to retire with over 650 home runs, 2000 RBI's and 3000 hits. He's inner-circle HoF.

Did I ever tell you about the time I went horseback riding with Shohei Ohtani, but there weren’t any horses around? Well, Shohei throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well, wouldn’t you know it, my stamina increases with each day and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Shohei decides to enter me in the Breeders’ Cup, right, under the name Turkish Delight. And I’m running in second place, and I’m running and I break my ankle! They’re about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, ‘Don’t shoot him, he’s a human.'

Ohtani will get shot in the gut in a hotel by a crazy weeaboo and then come back to join the yankees in his 40s.

Ohtani should be hitting every game regardless if he's pitching, the Angels are holding him back.

If you hit with your pitcher at any point during the game you forfeit your right to a DH for the rest of the game, correct?

General Dog posted:If you hit with your pitcher at any point during the game you forfeit your right to a DH for the rest of the game, correct? Yes, also if your DH moves to the field as a defensive substitute (which is why it's almost never the other catcher). marioinblack posted:I went to a game several years back where Joe Maddon filled out the lineup card wrong and we ended up with our starting pitcher batting 3rd in an AL game. And if you fill out the lineup card wrong and don't officially start the game with one, apparently. [The DH is, officially, completely optional. There's just virtually never a reason not to use it in a game where it's allowed. The Giants have forsworn a DH once or twice during interleague when Bumgarner was pitching, but it was because their bench was so depleted/bad there was no point in pretending any of them were a better offensive option than Bumgarner.]

When Sony originally planned to release MLB The Show 18, it was discovered that every control button on the glitched PS4 version caused Ohtani to hit a home run. When asked about this "glitch," Ohtani replied, "That was not a glitch." Sony saved one copy of the glitched version and presented it to Ohtani. Ohtani gave it to Mike Trout.
