DETROIT — Shohei Ohtani hit his 40th homer and pitched eight sharp innings, helping the Los Angeles Angels beat Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Who cares?
Ohtani is a beast.
Along with the “Field of Dreams” game, I’ll have to watch Ohtani’s next outing, to make it an even 2 MLBs games this season.
Perhaps a stupid question. Do the Angels have to forego the use of a DH in order for Ohtani to get to bat?
I used to watch baseball.
Wow, he’s a pretty amazing guy - and the comparisons with Babe Ruth are spot on, as pretty much no one else was ever that good of a pitcher with that kind of power.
I have been ignoring baseball, a childhood love/obsession of mine, for most of the last couple of decades because of all of the spoiled millionaires playing the game and setting no or horrible examples for kids. But this guy might bring me back to watching a little. LA team...F^&*, I hate LA! But to watch such a talent, I can swallow that.
Oh, and good on him for not just being a fantastic player, but a good sport as well. Almost like he came out of a time machine from 50 or more years ago. The Gen Z and other wokester players can learn from him.
