Yes he has, but tonight he gave away the win. Horrible loss.

I love Shohei

I don't think so. This guy had a beard and was wearing a Trout jersey.
He was suitably excited.

Enjoy what is happening. Do not be distracted by the bullpen or the team. Enjoy his greatness.

AL Triple Crown watch:

Avg.- 3rd (.310 for Ohtani. Bichette in 1st at .321)
HR - 1st (40 which leads Louis Robert by 11)
RBI- 2nd (82 for Ohtani. Adolis Garcia in 1st with 86)

Jolten Joe · 08-04-2023, 05:10 AM

Somebody please get this man some bananas and water already. Cramping is going to happen but it seems to be an almost every game thing with him.

NCWolf · 08-04-2023, 06:16 AM

Greatest of all time. Truly remarkable.

As a Braves fan - I’d like to see him go somewhere he can win, stay in the AL, and get on east coast time.

Boston? New York?

Absolutely amazing!

Got these in the mail yesterday. Bought them with the intent to get them in PSA holders and I know all about the comedy of HGA but they honestly don’t look bad. Seem pretty accurately graded. I think a 9 is realistic with all of them.

He still has a chance. But his historical HR numbers for August and September are not great. One HR every 5.7 games.

This is more important than 63 IMO. RBIs is going to be the tough one because it's out of his control.

Normally I would say no way, but I agree with you. The label looks pretty cool paired with the Topps Fire parallel.

Could you imagine a triple crown win for Sho!?

Its the amazing Shohei Ohtani...why not both a chase for 63 and the Triple crown...can you imagine what would happen to his cards if he did both?

Don't forget the pitching triple crown!

W- 8th (tied with several others with 9. Leader Eflin with 12
ERA- 12th (3.43. Leader Cole with 2.64)
K- 4th (156. Leader Gausman with 171)

Pitching triple crown isn't going to happen, but how absolutely bonkers is it that he's anywhere remotely close to being able to think about it? Someone within BOTH the hitting and pitching triple crown? AND with a shot for the home run record? We are witnessing the greatest season ever

2022 pitcher Ohtani + 2023 hitter Ohtani =

Been to Lackland, Kelly, Warner Robbins, Hickam, Kadena, Yokota, Beale, McClelland, Mather, March & Scott before landing here. As limited as our bases are can't really complain because the rumor that the AF has all the best of everything is a damn lie!

Geeeeez! That's a heck of a career and obviously you were in during the times when base turnover was a lot more than it is now. I appreciate you and all of our fellow Blowout military members!

SHOHEI WITH #40! Great Shohei game overall outside of his cramping. Yet another blown save by the bullpen even though Sho would not have gotten the win.

Look out for some retail (and licensed) 23-24 NBA products. Victor W hype is real, and that 10% off discount is sweet.

Never heard of the place and had to google it... nope, I can't stand going into the city. Hate everything about SF, especially the Niners & Warriors. Not a fan of the Giants but I can stomach them, wish I were still in Tustin so I could jump on the Halo bandwagon. Didn't particularly care for them when I was there back in the Wally Joyner years.

Cmon baseball reference update already!
Any guesses, 8.4 or 8.5 bWAR after yesterday?

He broke bbr lol. Probably closer to 8.4. August has just begun. His MVP year his season war was 9.0.

I lied, never underestimate the Sho!!

shaqobe · 08-04-2023, 11:23 AM

That grand slam sucked, but on the bright side Shohei hit his 40th HR and recorded his 600th career strikeout.

Had to get the City Connect Kanji jersey.
