*for a GIDP, you don't get an RBI?

Correct, no RBI = fielder's choice

Beautiful hit right now.
2 RBI double.

NYRE2PECT · 04-12-2021, 09:29 PM

2B and 2 RBI

Just saw the replay, that was a high fastball! Beautiful!

119 mph off the bat

Dude looks so much better than last year. Laying off the high heat and down and aways. Really, really exciting.

His quiet feet, and subtle foot shift for timing, have put him in a ready position A LOT! Very well balanced at the dish.

Good lord 119 MPH!!!

That ball was destroyed!

Go Shohei!! Love to see him healthy and crushing it

That is what I was hoping for- he was playing well during the spring training. Lets go!

It looks like he's hitting a golf ball the way it launches off his bat.

Dbacksbaseball · 04-13-2021, 09:13 AM

His stuff is going to have to really pop soon. Phenomenal start.

Mister2Bits · 04-13-2021, 09:47 AM

I bought an uncomfortable amount of Ohtani during the dip last year. I'm such a big fan so I'm definitely happy I stuck to my gut feeling about him. I just wish I would have sent the 70+ stack of raw cards I picked up to PSA before they closed.

Here are some of my favorites from my Ohtani collection (dont have anything raw scanned at the moment)...

holy cow.

Sold my 2018 Update RC acetate /10 for $1500 in the offseason. Made a nice profit on it, but I think I regret that one.

Never ever look back, right?

I understand though, I sold a 93 SP 279 PSA 9 for $5,000 in Jan 2019.

Beautiful cards!! I bought one or two during the dip but was too distracted by the 2020 rookies. I had the same gut feeling to stick with him, and I am a big fan either way, but I didn’t follow through the way you did. Kudos and great cards!

Anyone else surprised that we haven't seen much movement in the price of 2018 Topps Series 2 wax yet?

Very surprising. Same with 2018 update and 2018 chronicles. Anyone investing in wax who doesn't own some of each of these should get in fast while there is still room to make money later.
