Shohei Ohtani, A Cricket Bat and Leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to Victory Over the Twins
The Dodgers have gone the direction of: 1. High leverage 2. Low leverage. There is like 1st string for post season and guys to rent/use in the regular season. James Paxton. It’s also about earning your stripes. Younger guys pitch more in the regular season then bring back the proven guys in post season. It’s a new trend and the Dodgers have set it. Some guys may not like it but it is what it is. You get better and show good stuff then you earn the right to be on the post season roster. Since Sasaki won’t cost much he’s probably going to pitch a lot of regular season innings. This is especially true of the Dodgers trade for Crotchet and get Fried or Snell. 6 man rotation is only for the regular season too. Ohtani can’t be considered a starting 5 or 6 rotation pitcher. He’s the wildcard who is inserted to give the other 5 guys the necessary extra rest. Dodgers are better off if Glasnow starts off on the IL. Same for Kershaw and Bueller if both back. 1. Fried 2. Yamamoto 3. Gonsolin 4. Knack 5. Wrobleski 6. Ohtani Throw in Emmit Sheehan, Bobby Miller, and Nick Frasso when ready. Post season: 1. Glasnow 2. Fried 3. Yamamoto 4. Could be Kershaw, Gonsolin or Sheehan or Miller or Bueller or Sasaki. I see Ohtani and May in the bullpen. Sasaki too in his first year. Only hoping for 1 of Fried, Snell, or Crotchet.
Translate in spanish to Fans Dodgers Latinos please ..‼️👍🙏🏻☘️🤷♂️😀
Let's go Doyers!
Priceless
As far as I'm concerned you can talk about Ohtani all you want! Why don't people talk about him even more? It's the off season, so why not? He had 130 RBIs this year. Not impressed? OK, but for 89 of those games he was batting leadoff. I looked up the major league record for RBIs as a leadoff hitter, and it belongs to none other than Mookie Betts, who set it last year. It was 107 RBIs, and he still owns that record, of course, since Shohei batted 2nd for the first 73 games of the season (he also sat out 3 games at some point). 46 of his 130 RBIs came in the first 73 games, so he had 84 in the last 89 games. That means he was hitting more RBIs per game since moving to the leadoff spot than he was batting 2nd. If you prorated that to 162 games, it would be a 152 RBI pace, as a leadoff hitter.
It’s like what Judge said. Shohei’s the best player and really not enough ppl talked about specifically his 50+ steals along with his 50+ hrs. Respect to Judge to admit this as great as a player Judge is.
@@LL-tc1re there is only 1 greatest player and judge said that's Ohtani, end of discussion.
The greats recognize each other.
First year as dodgers fans too nd for as long as ohtani here
So much fun to listen to LOD when we are world champs!
First, Silver slugger award announced in 12 hours from now
Shohei is NOT a DH like any other DH are DH! Shohei is DH because he is a Pitcher!! So you can’t say he wouldn’t have got MVP if he didn’t Pitch! He wouldn’t be a DH if he wouldn’t be a Pitcher. Ohtani would play the field!! Why people compare him with other DH?
Because Americans are biased
He should just play the outfield on the days he’s not pitching. That should shut those people up. He’s actually got experience in the outfield.
I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. I was saying that his other MVP seasons might not have been MVP seasons if he'd been limited by injury to just playing DH like he was this year. I'm well aware that Ohtani is an excellent athlete who is capable of playing other positions, but that's not what the discussion was about.
MLB NetWork don't like the Dodgers, no manager of the year and no MVP
Simple why Roberts is not finalist because he did perplexing thing of keeping Sho at leadoff. Ohtani was 18 of last 22 with runners in scoring position by the end of Mets nlcs, but did not get enough chances at leadoff. You may say it worked out with WS win, I would say it was lucky it worked out. Manager of the year is not about luck 🍀
That's not why. The real reason is, Dodgers won the championship even without a manager.
Dodgers sign free agent 2025 Willy Adames,Roki Sasaki, Blake snell, Max Fried,Tanner Scott and Carlos Estévez. 2025 dodgers sign Roki Sasaki replacement Jack Flaherty ,dodgers sign max fried replacement walker buehler dodgers sign Scott tanner replacement Daniel Hudson dodgers sign Carlos Estévez replacement Blake Treinen
As an American Japanese , the culture here for Japanese is second to none. As a star, he has leverage. The respect they have for Roki allows him to do whatever he thinks is necessary to achieve his goal. Roki will be a Dodger. We have everything to make him feel at home. It's not just meat and potatoes here. Besides, it's too dangerous as an immigrant in non friendly states. East Coast, West Coast is the only choice he has . We do know who hates non white foreigners in America. He will stay away from non friendly areas. We lost our rights/citizenship in the past because we were Asians. Germans were ok. Still has same attitude in some places. It's not safe for Roki. He's Japan's youngest national hero. Unlike others, he will have many choices, but he will choose LA. We offer a unique culture for all.
Please don't expect Roki Sasaki too much even if he comes to the Dodgers! His records aren't so great compared to Yamamoto's in Japan. Many Japanese commentators say that Sasaki is still very young and he has to improve his physicality a lot more to throw through the whole season in MLB. So, please remind of that! By the way, as a Japanese fan I want to ask you American Dodgers fans a simple question . You don't mind if there are three Japanese pitchers in the Dodgers possibly six starting pitcher rotation? Not too many?
He just turn 23. With some experience and mlb teaching, he's be okay. Once you have the stuff itll play
The extra rest accompanying a 6-man rotation will benefit everyone. I think it's cool that 3 of them are Japanese. I
The Gibby at bat was ?8¿ pitches, plus 3-4 tosses over to 1st base cause Mike Davis was doing everything he could to distract Eck. It definitely helped build up the drama. But I also love that Freddie just jumped on the first pitch.
Well, it doesn't look like the Dodgers' manager position will be open any time soon. So, it's a promotion of sorts for McCullough. Maybe if he does well enough, another position will be available for him in the future.
I get that in a traditional sense, this Dodger team wasn't an underdog. But my goodness, each round they weren't the favorites considering each time it was voted on, they were voted against winning the series. I welcomed writers and analysts to pick against the Dodgers at it really did seem to fuel their fire. Each round before the polling, I said "they're going to pick not the Dodgers" and each time that was true. I do believe that they underestimated the depth of the lineup and the depth of the bullpen AND how good the 3 starters were. Also, I still can't believe my generation and onward actually got our Kirk Gibson moment. To this day I can't believe I got to watch that happen. And especially glad that it wasn't a footnote because they actually won AND Freddie was the MVP of the series. Just think of how many amazing moments were in this post season and yet how so few of them hold the same weight as this grand slam will hold years from now. We are lucky.
Dodgers would make sense for Sasaki in that they will have 6-man rotation next season, which is what he’s used to in Japan.
Both Freddy and Gibby hit their historic home runs at 8:37 pm.
He wants to go to Dodgers so they can take over the MLB 😂 y not
Ohtani needs to call him a day two words, Nine Rings!

Would rather have Snell or Fried than Crochet. They will not cost blue chip prospects.
Teo 4 yr 80m 4th year team option. Buehler 2yr 22m player option with performance bonus.
Dodgers need Teo back. Let's go WS 2025!
Bring KK back as an outfield coach during spring training. Have him work with Teo, Pages, and Rushing!.
And Soto. 😉
Teo earned the 💼
Fried teo sign asap
Dodgers' top priority should be pitching‼️
Teo even cried on the championship celebration stage, give him the contract already.😂
Go Dodgers
Teo needs to get paid. 🎉
Would you rather sign Snell or Freid?
Yes
Lets do it then !!
Definitely
Mookie has no bussiness at SS, I think it'll be to 2B which is great!!! It doesn't open the space to Soto, it opens a space in general to Outman-Edman-Pages with, hopefully, Teo/Kiké. I think a possibility better than Soto would be to see IF they move Tucker (the only astro I can stomach). An OF of Teoscar-K Tucker and whomever from Outman, Kiké, Pages, or Edman (at times) would be dope.
Put Mookie at 2nd to extend his career. Slowly move Will to 3rd to extend his also
Soto can be the DH when FF retires and Ohtani plays 1b.
Personally, I believe Andrew Friedman will make massive pitches with the help of Shohei and Yoshinobu to recruit the best Japanese Talent. After just winning the world series and baseball classics other stars from japan that have played with them will be eager to join the potentially dynasty in LA. I want andrew to trade for Imanaga, and go sign Sasaki, Murakami, and then make pitches to Horiya Miyagi a lefty ace that has connections to Yoshi, Shohei, sasaki and then look at Shugo Maki a future infielder to join Murakami 💙🏆🇯🇵
I don't believe Rizzo's baserunning was a mistake. It ended up looking awkward, but I think it was the right play. You can no longer slide aggressively into second. So, the best thing he can do is legally obstructing the throw. He saw the ball go into Edman's glove and stopped, which again is the smart play there. When the ball popped out, he couldn't restart quick enough to reach the bag.
Simply put, Soto doesn't fit this team. No, question about his talent, but it would be foolishly to spend whatever he and Boras will be asking for. As another example, Pete Alonso is a right handed power bat we can certainly use, but he doesn't fit. I think we're gonna have OF of Rushing, Pages, Edman, and Teo with CT as back up and possibly one last chance for Outman.
Teo as backup???
Lux gone?
Either they'll try him again at SS or they'll trade him
Not preaching for Soto, but these people make it look like he's out there botching plays every game and with every ball hit in his direction. Yes, not the greatest defender, but he's also not out there where balls are hitting his head and going for HR's.
No. It opens the door for Dalton Rushing.
I don’t think Dodgers need Soto
Thats right we don't need Soto. And from what I've seen, He doesn't look like a team player. Soon as they lost he wanted out of N.Y. Soto's about Soto not the team. He needs to be somewhere that he leads. Not L.A. and not N.Y.
Condolences for your loss of your grandmother in-law. Celebration of her life yeah, but still--a loss nonetheless.
Soto is a great DH. But I rather have a DH who can also pitch. He is NOT an outfielder, realistically. I wish he wasn't such a giant liability in the field, but in the World Series, we saw it play out first hand. Yeah, he has an arm, but giving up extra bases for bad routes and jumps hurt a lot when it comes down to it. Especially in October.
Doesn’t make sense to play Lux at SS. Alex Freeland is a lefty batting SS prospect. Keep Lux at 2nd and allow Edman to platoon. Dodgers should sign Willy Adames since he’s a right handed power hitting SS.
Sasaki is getting posted. He wanted to leave last year and the Marines told him to stay for one more year. He did that, now it’s time for them to let him go. They can’t just go back on their word, or they will get a bad reputation with players and nobody will want to sign with them in the future. It’s not all just about money.
