30 comments

1. Ohtani is about to be heavily walked going forward…

2. I stopped watching baseball after Jeter and Mo retired. David Ortiz broke Bostons near century drought. Shohei brought me back and seeing this panel brings back incredible memories🤩💥⚡️💯🏆

3. otani's eyes so small it's a miracle he can play baseball

4. i dont even watch baseball but ohtani the goat

5. A-Rod, Big Papi Ortiz and Derek Jeter!

6. To me, he makes sense for people that wants to pitch better players that’s a challenge for a picture. Remember that so don’t talk like that. If you don’t know the feelings of the players, there’s some players they play for fun. There’s some other players they play for money from the, he wants to be a better picture that’s why he did it as he

7. Don’t hear Ortiz jeter and Rodriguez talking about the padres in 5 lol it’s gonna be a sweep!! Jeter talking about why you would pitch to him with a base open. Play ball !!!

8. I understand Jeter, but giving up first base with the battery coming behind? Betts, Freeman, Teo. I don't know man is hard to decide.

9. 凄いメンツだな

10. Big Papy, do you still think Shoei is the pretty girl of MLB? I am Dominican but i was not agree with his arguement.

11. Ortiz is better looking than A Rod nowadays lol.

12. Every Dodger did their part to recovery. The Padres are a fierce side – Great RBI from Teoscar, Freeman SB, Shohei Homer! Let's hope Yama catches his groove by his next outing!

13. never seen a former cy young candidate swing a bat like this

14. When these three guys are in awe of Ohtani. He’s something we’ve never seen.

15. 9. Ten 😂😂😂 that a first

16. Ohtani has a legit stone cold killer look when he's on the plate. I can see why.

17. 4:58 I'm going to disagree with Jeter to walk Ohtani, as it's proven wrong twice in the regular season to have boosted Mookie behind him to hit a HR or so, leading to similar disastrous results. 🧐

18. Why does MLB ban former white players from the panel?

19. Doesn’t make sense huh DJ? Well, when you consider that you’ve got Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman behind him…they’re not exactly slouches. Then there’s his threat to steal if no one else is on base. So, pick your poison.

20. It is true that this is Ohtani's first postseason experience as a major leaguer, but he has plenty of experience in big games and on big stages, and that should never be overlooked.
    
    Ohtani's ultimate goal is to make the postseason and win games.
    
    All of his daily efforts have been focused on achieving this goal from the beginning of the season.

    Why? Because it is the most difficult goal to achieve, not only in terms of ability, but also in terms of luck and probability.
    
    He came to the majors because he wants to challenge this difficult goal in the majors.
    
    As he often says, “Personal records will naturally follow if you work hard every day to win a championship. (He means that his ultimate goal is to become a world champion, and his personal record is a side effect of the process of achieving that goal.)

    Another important point is that Shohei Ohtani is strong on the big stage, he has acquired enough experience on the big stage to know how to fight in short-duration games and how to keep his heart in the game.
    
    Major league commentators refer to this as “the first postseason challenge of Ohtani's career. But this is misleading.　
    
    It makes him sound like a novice or inexperienced postseason player.
    
    Ohtani has experienced the big stage of the Koshien Tournament, and he has also won the Japanese championship in the postseason and in the short-season in Japan's professional baseball. He was also a WBC champion, as you know.

    Since he was a teenager, he has trained himself to win in the Koshien Tournament（high school national tournament, a big, short-decision game where one loss can end everything.）He probably experienced the joy and difficulty of winning there at a young age, and learned the joy of winning and how to win in the big, high-profile games.

    The postseason is a nerve-wracking, short-decision arena in which it is very difficult to perform at our normal level of strength for the season. It is a different way to fight and a different state of mind than in the regular season.
    
    But he has acquired the know-how necessary to win on the big stage, how to maintain his normal state of mind, and how to show his normal strength through his experience of competing in big games since he was a teenager.
    
    When the postseason is over, it may prove to be so.

21. 미국은 약쟁이에 관대한 나라네 ㅋㅋㅋ
    약쟁이 두명이 방송에 나올 수 있는 나라 대단해

22. Do not forget that Ohtani is a pitcher.

23. Native Spanish speakers should just speak Spanish to each other. Then non-Spanish speakers could listen to them speaking and learn Spanish. It's educational.

24. Jeter always forgets there are two mvps behind Ohtani😂

25. Dodgers are gonna prove everyone wrong!

26. それにしてもこの番組のコメンテーターはいつも凄い豪華な顔ぶれだな。いつも大谷をほめちぎってくれるし

27. The only problem with walking Ohtani is now you've got Mookie

28. Why pitch to him? Why pitch to him? …. Because if you make him walk, he will run to the 2nd base anyway 😂

29. Dodgers are gonna prove everyone wrong!

30. He will pitch next year and I can’t wait
