PURE STATS.

NBA and NFL....you're not good unless you have a ring. lol

Those people are in baseball too (you know, Yankees fans and the odd ball here and there who don't get that baseball is primarily a statistics driven sport).

Watch, they'll be here soon.

If he cared about the WS he would not have signed there in the first place.

The NL didn't have the dh at the time otherwise he'd probably have been a Dodger.

Ugh MLB app is trash. I tried watching the game again in the evening and even though I have "hide scores" enabled it still showed it in the thumbnail of a video clip.

I know I've said this before, but the number of innings that end with him in the on-deck circle is just astounding.

I have noticed this too! Would like to see him hit first, so he can get as many at bats as possible!

Ended the game there too, not that the Braves would’ve pitched to him anyway with Olson nipping at his heels in the home run chase.

When you're on a team that sucks...that happens.

Good lord you're making me hate the Braves more than the Astros at this point.

Olson should end up as league leader. What Shohei has protecting him and what Olson has, are night and day in comparison. Very happy for Olson's success so far!

It's why I was surprised that Judge hit that amazing 62 last year. Maybe pitchers will be ballsy with Shohei instead of smart. Just ask Matt Chapman.

The best Ohtani can hope for are 2 things either the Angels are blowing someone out or getting blown out or playing teams that have nothing to play for, otherwise he might never get pitched to.

Am I wrong though? Truth hurts. The Angels are over performing this year and still struggling to stay in the Wild Card convo.

You troll every thread, its getting tiresome. You're all talk because the braves are on top right now and if Acuna tears up his knee tomorrow nobody is going to have any sympathy for you.

Not sure if you are right or wrong...but why are you posting in this thread? Do you have any Ohtani RC cards? Or did you sell them all. I guess it doesn't matter. Overall, I find your comments not helpful, insightful or productive. Do you have a take on Ohtani cards? Did you just sell all your Ohtani cards at the peak and want people to think you are the smartest guy in the room? I just don't understand why you troll so much. Don't you have better things in life to do with your time? I am happy you are an Acuna guy and that he is having an MVP season (I also collect Acuna). If you have a great take on a guy and want to prove your powers of clairvoyance terrific. Would love to see all the players that you collect/invest in and see how you stack up with all the other big talkers on here.

Ive been a Braves fan well before Acuna was born. I wouldn't be looking for sympathy either? Weird. The comment was made that Ohtani doesn't get up to bat a lot of times when the game is on the line. I gave a very simple answer: the team is bad. They dont have guys that move the at bats down the line. You got frazzled because I said the Angels suck. They've been bad for a decade+. This shouldn't be earth shattering for you.

Wait...you're only allowed to comment about Ohtani cards in the Ohtani thread? We can't post about his games, his at bats, his fellow players, his team or anything else in here? Yes, I own Ohtani cards. Im on record of saying he is the most amazing player Ive ever seen. And probably the best we will ever see.

Not helpful. That has nothing to do w/ Ohtani cards. You're banished.

This is a public forum! You of course can post what ever you like. But your perspective is normally of a trolling nature. BTW...why don't you post all of your Ohtani cards? I am sure people in this thread would like to see those. While your at it maybe you can be helpful and post print run information on 2018 topps products to help everyone out that collects so they can make better informed decisions on what to buy. That would be super helpful and appreciated.
