The Truth About Shohei

[Oydesseus]

He can’t touch elite pitchers. Sanchez had him looking like a single A call up. So did Miseroski.

But He annihilates mistakes and bad pitching. His 1st HR was 79 mph center cut. I’m no MLBer but I think they call that batting practice. The 2nd one was mid 80’s also in his very large wheelhouse. I’m not slamming that. Thats a BIG part of the game. Have to be able to do it to be a star.

but as far as great on great those match ups have Been disappointing and a mismatch.  Against Shohei. Fwiw

glad he hit one out of Chavez. I said he would the day he signed and I am shocked it took this long but what a moment to do it. Clinching a pennant! Incredible

I have maintained when healthy he is a top 5 pitcher for years.  I said he was a top 5 baseball talent before he ever won his first MVP as an Angel. I posted about the golden age of LA baseball with him Trout Seager Kershaw and Mookie.
Bumped it a year ago. Someone said I was crazy on Shohei lol. Not you Java. Someone else. He’s for sure a top 5 pitcher and I’m not sure who’s better. skubal skenes sanchez brewer’s misaroski(sp?) snell. Not many. If any. Shohei is abs filthy and yes he prob will blow that elbow out one more and last time. His stuff is just too good and that seems to be the driver on those things.

He sucked for 4 games against the Phillies. He sucked for 3 games against Milwaukee. To have the night he did and to go from least valuable series player to MVP. Damn. Hat tip.
as I said the pitches he hit were BP worthy. Tommy Edmans (or Teo) was the real O MVP. But he doesn’t drive tv ratings or ticket sales. Shohei does.

Historical night. Good for the city. No GREAT for the city. Shohei shut me up good tonight. Glad dodgers won. More Japanese signs/ads next year around Chavez. Awesome 🤦‍♂️

You really should quit while you’re behind

Shohei hit 3 hr off 3 pitchers

Patrick threw 4 innings and allowed 0 walks and 0 hits to anyone not named Shohei. He really must have sucked huh? Season on the line. Kid pitches great. Except when Shohei takes him out of the stadium. Out of stadium!!!! If he was throwing BP how come no one else in the entire lineup could touch him? How come in 5 innings against the cubs he allowed 0 hits and 0 walks? No runs?

Nope. You’re wrong. As usual

And here’s another.  Trevor Mc gill the pitcher ohtani hit his 3rd hr against?  Was an all star this year.

so much for your theory that he was hitting 79 mph fastballs and eating up bad pitchers.

all star v all star.

ohtani went 4-7 his last two games.  Not just a one game wonder.  He had 3 HR.  1 triple.  And one walk last night and possibly one Thursday.

that. Along with pitching 6 innings of one hit shutout ball.  In the NLcS clincher. Is why he was the mvp of the series and of the league

 

well except for your vote which you’ll split with Schwarber and Manny sour puss

[Oydesseus]

Wasn’t a theory

[Java]

wasn’t a fastball and clearly that’s not center cut

Do you actually know anything about this game or do you just pretend after reading quotes off the Internet?
