Its crazy that just recently I read an article called the greatest game ever and it was Shawn Greens 19 total bases. What crazier out of all this is that people forget he broke the Dodger franchise record for HR in the same game cause they were so emphasized on the 50/50. Ironically, it was Shawn Greens HR record with the Dodgers. Statistically, 17+.2 sb can equal 19 total bases but Shohei had 3 more RBIs. Rendon had a 6 hit 3 HR 10 RBI game but didnt have the stolen bases or 5 xbh. Statistically, Shohei had the single greatest baseball game ever on the same night he went 50/50.
You nailed that!
Yes! And I forgot to mention Rendon’s game, but Ohtani’s is still better, as you said.
Ohtani seems like a throwback too earlier days of baseball, where players played without designated this or that.
He has the craziest stats and he's still going. Every game now is a new record, we are mere mortals observing something truly amazing, a once in a life time player.
Some records will never be broken, I can't see the 50/50 record, which is being extended game by game, being broken any time soon, like DiMaggio's hitting streak, its truly rare.
It's going to be fascinating watching this gentleman of baseball play out the next 10 years, he will probably go down as the greatest of all time.
I’ll be interested to see if he can pick up where he left off pitching next year.
Nice video
Thanks!
Speaking strictly on statistics alone, I would argue that Shawn Green's four HRs and 19 total bases game and Rick Wise's with his no-hitter plus 2 Hrs in a game were sill better than Ohtani's Thursday performance. However, when you add CONTEXT into the mix, I would argue that Ohtani really did put together the GREATEST GAME in baseball history considering that he achieved BOTH his 50th SB AND 50th HR in the same game WHILE winning the most important game of the regular season - the one that clinched the playoffs. It really all depends on how you look at it.
I think that’s a good perspective too!
Thank you for being a sane person and saying rbi instead of rbi's. I can't stand it when people pluralize it.
It’s a pet peeve of mine too :)
Yeah, but people say it as a plural so often that it can be considered correct, just as we say MREs (mealS ready to eat) or POWs (prisonerS of war.” Moreover, one can say that RBI can stand for a singular “run batted in” and so adding an “s” at the end of the acronym is nothing but natural. And on top of that, it is also an initialism, not technically an acronym pronounced as a word, (like, say, “NATO”) and so as no plural is evident in just saying the “r,” adding an “s” could actually be considered even better for the sake of clarity.
The best ever!
I think so too. :)
