1. Might have been the most predictable Shohei homer of all time.

   Also WTF. I don’t think I saw him finish running the bases before this went up

2. Jesus Christ he knocked the shit out of that

3. Fucking nuked that thing holy fuck

4. That ball got fucked

5. Unbelievably predictable but damn what a blast

6. He’s doing it on purpose at this point.

7. what the fuck lmao

8. You can’t make this shit up lmao

9. RISPtani strikes again

10. Ohtani never beating the “only gets hits with runners on” allegations

11. He’s a different beast with RISP

12. what a meme lmao

13. He just awakens with runners on base wtf

14. What a clutch hitter. Dodgers got a postseason legend.

    Edit: this was sarcasm.

15. 

    Ohtani with ducks on the pond

16. Bro is a RISP merchant 😭

17. Shohei “I can’t do it alone guys” Ohtani

18. RISP Ohtani can solve all major global conflicts.

19. …how did he do that? Wut, he’s so good.

20. 17-20, 7 HR, 27 RBI with RISP

21. Someone should ask the sky if it’s okay.

22. Ohtani w/RISP is the greatest postseason hitter of all time.

23. So in order for Shohei to look like Shohei we gotta get some men on base

24. He’s playing a video game and saving all his power ups for the high leverage situations

25. RISP merchant. Can’t do it when the bases are empty, though

26. Lmaooo bro finally got on with RISP and nukes it haha

27. I really do not think its an anomaly. He’s trying too hard to get a solo shot with no one on but with runners on he seems to be telling himself ok wait for the pitch and get them in. I dunno at the least its possible. Hit him 4th fuck it.

28. We gotta trick Ohtani into thinking that the bases aren’t empty every time he bats.

29. Call the police, Ohtani just murdered a baseball

30. *Dave Roberts please continue having him hit lead off* 🤞🤞

31. Ohtani is having the weirdest postseason I’ve ever seen

32. Dave roberts: Shohei, you need to be a more of a team player

    Shohei: Say no more fam

    Dave Roberts: Well ok, that’s not what I meant but I’ll take it.

33. He is the antithesis of the dodgers of years past. So many octobers of shitting the bed with RISP. Now we have the guy who can only hit with RISP

34. What happens if Diaz has 2 men on against Ohtani? Does the universe implode?

35. Should they actually consider taking him out of the leadoff spot if he’s currently only hitting well with RISP? With men on base it’s almost guaranteed!

36. I think Shohei gets really lonely when he’s on the field, and he feels sad. That’s why he hits terribly with nobody on.

    When he sees his friends on base, then he is happy and absolutely crushes the pitch.

37. Was the Angels’ problem just that they never had RISP?

38. Mr. “I don’t like solo home runs” Ohtani

39. 1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia
    2. Never go in a against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
    3. Never pitch to shohei when there are men on base.

40. I refuse to believe that went only 410 feet

41. NL managers really don’t know what an intentional walk is. There isn’t a single reason to pitch to him with RISP and a base open.

42. Ohtani w/o runners on base: Ned Flanders

    Ohtani with runners on base: Chappell Show Wayne Brady

43. Idk man, I want the Mets to make the World Series and play the Subway Series (if only cause the Sidetalk videos would be delightful), but this homer got me all jazzed thinking about a Shohei/Judge WS, and that’s too spicy to resist.

44. “It’s too high”

    “What does that mean, too high?”

    “Looked too high”

    “Who gives a shit, it’s gone”
