Would anyone else like to argue this guy doesn't have top shelf power?

Rage · 06-30-2023, 10:31 PM

The Bogeyman checks under his bed for June Ohtani

TGCollector · 06-30-2023, 10:34 PM

Nothing better than that sound!! Also no home run derby please

Rage · 06-30-2023, 10:35 PM

Shohei has a season long HR Derby

Pushes his slash line to .310/.394/.674 for an OPS of 1.068

The crazy man is gonna have 7+ WAR at the ASG!

I think we're past the MVP being priced in. There's other things starting to get factored in here now..

BabaORiley · 06-30-2023, 10:48 PM

When I watched peak-MJ, I had no doubt I was watching the best basketball player that I would ever have the opportunity to see. I'm a bigger baseball fan than basketball and, right now, I have no doubt that I'm watching the best baseball player I'll ever have the opportunity to see.

So many records broken. Longest HR in MLB this season, longest in Angels stadium since Statcast, most HRs in June franchise history. What else??

Hellcat · 06-30-2023, 10:52 PM

This can't be real! What is going on?! How can he keep doing this my goodness! Bonds is still right there as being the best I've ever seen but as each day goes by it gets harder to deny his greatness. 7 MVPs will be tough to get but he should be on his 3rd already if its wasn't for Judges historic year.

ThoseBackPages · 06-30-2023, 10:52 PM

its not too late

add some Ohtani to your collection

One of the beautiful things about the modern hobby IS the "mass production"

You have Ohtani cards for EVERY budget

Ohtani is on the cusp (some say he's already there) of being BEYOND Baseball

Dhtcardmania · 06-30-2023, 10:55 PM

Bonds cheated by taking PED. He was a 30-35 homer a year guy for his first 10-12 years and post PED Bonds started whacking 50+ home runs a year average for 5 years so he wasn't that fearsome without PED.

hermanotarjeta · 06-30-2023, 10:55 PM

I can’t believe even the 2018 base bowman rookies are selling for $20-$30 apiece.

I sold over 50 of them for a buck a piece back in 2018, haha.

Funny you mention this. Missed out on peak MJ but me & my friend watched a ton of football and we said the only other time we felt this way watching someone was Brady on those comeback drives. Brady was obviously a lot more team orientated but same feeling..

That's a fair point of view. He was racking up MVPs before PEDs so don't act like he was a bum. Ohtani for sure is just crazy good what a joy to watch!

phisouza33 · 06-30-2023, 11:13 PM

Greatest player the game has ever seen 6 years into his career

Eh, I don't think he meant that. Bonds was absolutely a great player, but we'll never know where he should have been without PEDs. He tainted his own history, unfortunately.

I feel sorry for all the people who didn't believe.

And all the NY weirdos

neumz16 · 06-30-2023, 11:23 PM

Do I have to sho off my hundreds of shos again!.. Pretty much all 2018 cards aside from 2nd yr stuff. Don't make me do it..10 cases worth of update..OK, I'll throw a few up for pics again. Listen, I love that year, of course. Don't get me started on my Soto and acuna collection from update..haha...

Bro, can you imagine 50 SHObombsand 200 SHOKs?

Quite literally can have the greatest season ever by a very very long shot. We are talking 762 record status, 73 home runs, 4,256 hits type stuff. Arbitrary, but never obtainable again unless from Sho

Funny thing is every time I hit a sho I thought f&%#. Meanwhile he is the man in that deep class. Just amazing what he has accomplished

150 career homeruns with a 270 career average 28 years old 0 postseason accolades. Not seeing anything special with this guy extremely overrated.

Trueblue · 06-30-2023, 11:28 PM

Don't take the bait, guys. Please.
