MLB Offseason Thread - Suck it Dodgers. Time for more even year BS

It was hilarious to watch Dave Martinez throw everything but the kitchen sink at the braves to try and produce some runs.

Judge, Stanton, and Sanchez all blasted dongers today. Just saying.

So Ohtani hit his 2nd homer already, this one off of Corey Kluber. 2 homers in 2 days for the guy

[Vaspinne]

Ohtani, 3HRs in 3 games played. Only 1 of 4 rookies in the last 100 years to hit 3 in a row in their first 3 games

3 *home games

They already played a few games before he hit one.

He only hit in one game previously though, so homeruns in 3 of his first 4 games (the most recent 3)

Is he DHing or in the outfield?

Harper hit another HR. Also, water is wet

DH only. He's pitching every 6 days (like they do in Japan) and resting around his starts. So generally:

DH
Rest
Start (doesn't hit)
Rest
DH
DH
Rest
Start
etc

I actually thought he had batted in more games then that. Way more impressive then I figured.

Yeah I've been following it closely since I drafted him in fantasy, not realizing he had been putrid in spring training (like 4/32 with no HRs and 2 IP with 8 ER or something)

The Angels could and probably should hit him when he's pitching for the extra reps, but if you have your pitcher hit in the AL, you give up the DH slot, so any relievers would have to hit for themselves or get a pinch hitter

Which is why I wrote my post the way I did

Interesting.

that's one way to put it

the other way would be to say if he can maintain anything like this for a season it will be the most revolutionary baseball development in our lifetimes

Yep. I think his athleticism might be a little under appreciated because he's Asian, but in addition to the 100 mph fastballs and huge power, he clocks blazing fast home-to-first running times. He's a freak

I just like that he's taking swings away from Pujols because fuck Pujols

MLB record for most homers in a season by a pitcher is 9 - surprisingly (to me) not by Babe Ruth.

Philly is beating Miami 17-1. It's only in the 5th inning

Won 20-1, and somehow Jake Thompson got a Save

I have no idea how he got a save. It was well more than a 3 run game when he came in

Saves have retarded convulted rules based on score vs when the tying run is up.
