Yeah, every day that rolls on it feels like we’re moving from a nice hot streak to start the season to seeing something truly historic.
What a talent.

Is Vladdy 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA?

If Ohtani stays healthy... the MVP is all Ohtani.

It's possible Ohtani strikes out more batters as a pitcher than he does himself as a batter.

Maybe I'm just paranoid because of Tatis but I wish he'd stop swinging out of his shoes every time.

I have yet to see that. His swing is so smooth. Quiet power. His hands are fantastic.

Exactly. It's nonsensical to keep making it look as if it's a 2-person race. IF Ohtani stays healthy, vlad could win the triple crown and Ohtani would win the mvp in a landslide. Healthy Ohtani is all that matters.

Clean Ohtanis are drying up

At least non bass

anusinha · 06-20-2021, 07:00 PM

Someone put this man (and Trout) on a team that doesnt suck

Rage · 06-20-2021, 07:13 PM

Wow 6 hr in 6 days, including 6 IP with a W

Shohei is a living legend

Spunky245 · 06-20-2021, 07:53 PM

Boy, I’ll admit when I heard all the hype out of Japan back in 2017-18, I was quite skeptical.
Sheesh, if anything he was UNDERRATED back then…

HunterConnorMom · 06-20-2021, 08:15 PM

Ohtani is on pace to hit 50 homeruns this season. The single season Angels record for most homeruns belong to Troy Glaus in 2000 with 47.

It is starting to look like Ohtani may be the one that could stop Vlad Jr from winning a triple crown….imagine the heads that will burst if that is what happens.

JWBlue · 06-20-2021, 08:33 PM

He is wrecking this league.

SGC300ier · 06-20-2021, 08:35 PM

I think I'll hold my Ohtani Pinks. Bought some Update Chrome earlier this year going Soto hunting and hit an Ohtani US1 and Rookie Debut Pink. Blessing in disguise.

For all the deserved love Vlad, Tatis, and Degrom are getting, what Ohtani is doing is just beyond comprehension. A plus starter leading the league in HR and has 10SB. MLB is horrible at promoting its stars, how is this guy not on tv every night?

Big time blessing. Never hit any parallel Ohtani in my Soto hunting, but hit a lot of Ohtani RC’s that unfortunately are not at PSA waiting to be graded.

JRX · 06-20-2021, 09:05 PM

Like how can anyone argue he's not the greatest player on the planet. I guess he doesn't field, but he literally can do everything and do it above avg.

NYRE2PECT · 06-20-2021, 09:12 PM

Shohei - I’m all in (in a lower level collector kind of way).

Oh, he fields. You need to check out his defense on pitching. Brimming athleticism.

He has played right field this year. Twice I believe….so yeah….maybe next he’ll put on the tools of ignorance….

I'm sure he is above average defensively in the outfield as well, if it wasnt for the fatigue and injury risk he would definitely be playing out there regularly

majestik101 · 06-20-2021, 10:05 PM

Fat Boy better not get the MVP

I'll be pissed if he does

Ohtani 4 MVP

I mean in all fairness Vladdy is absolutely raking. Love watching Ohtani and he’s obviously more versatile.

2018 Bowman Chrome Auto PSA 10 is up
for auction on Ebay and the bidding is
already at 4,700 with over 3 days left.
Certain to break 5K before it closes.
I know it’s Probstein but still.

BaseballKing · 06-20-2021, 10:55 PM

Someone just bought all 6 of my 700's and US1's last night. I had them listed for 3 weeks. Buyer paid $19 each for the 700's and $16 for the US1's.

I'm happy to keep selling paper base but the Chromes, HHN Action, sky blue papers, and 2018 Bowman chrome cards are staying put.

Exciting stuff.
