E) Was supposed to be "he doesn't look like me" but I feel that is more for select old folks and the younger generation is much more open. Won't be a factor anyway in two or so decades.

Nevermind the fact that none of those bets were even placed on baseball games, but that was probably part of the "cover-up" too

Flat if he has a good start and they lose.

Flat if he has a bad start and they win.

What if he hits 4 HRs?

Agreed. The haters don’t argue logically. They have no facts to back up claims. Only sour grapes.

I think this is probably correct. Ohtani/Glassnow combine for 6-7 innings if they are both effective and then whomever matchups dictate. I would expect the same from the blue jays.

It feels like Ohtani’s prices keep climbing and they’re so high at the moment. Realistically, do you see them going higher or will they level off here? Or possibly go down?

To be honest, I am very nervous about Ohtani pitching without his normal rest/routine. I kind of wish he was just hitting tonight! My prediction is he will only pitch 2 innings tonight and then Glasnow will come in to pitch.

Hoping Ohtani plays great tonight and the Dodgers win the WS!!!

Trueblue · 11-01-2025, 03:10 PM

I am not saying Ohtani will go 7 strong, but placing limits on that man is also unwise.

Because I can't imagine there is anyone who can deny how great of a player he's been.

Anytime Ohtani strikes out, go on twitter, search "ohtani", show the latest tweets, there's a TON of people who love to hate Shohei.

Automatic loss here, called your hand wrong. Stick to amassing great cards while you work on your poker skills. One card short of a flush and 5 of a kind wins hands down all day everyday!

Solution: don't have social media.

Jeter1020 · 11-01-2025, 05:43 PM

Can those who are more versed in baseball answer this?

Is Ohtani to Babe Ruth the same as LeBron to MJ and Mahomes to Brady? In terms of goats in their respective sports?

I'm sure this will be a rational conversation and everyone will agree with everyone

Ohtani is second to MJ at this time

MJ is the GOAT of basketball,Brady the GOAT of football,Ohtani the GOAT of baseball and Gretzky the GOAT of hockey. Pretty simple actually.

He’s above Ruth? Even with the Babe having the third most home runs of all time?
