  2. So what if Ohtani didn’t shine in the World Series? In the regular season, when Betts was injured and Freeman was out, who was it that carried the Dodgers? Ohtani’s WP and cWP were both the highest in MLB, ahead of Judge, proving just how much he held the team together.

    When the Dodgers were down 0-3 in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Padres, Ohtani hit a game-tying three-run homer, showing not only other teams but his own teammates that “this year’s Dodgers are different.” From that point on, Betts and Freeman, who had struggled in past postseasons, started hitting too. Ohtani also set an unusual record of consistently hitting only when teammates were on base, coming through for the team in the NLDS and NLCS.

    Then, when he partially dislocated his shoulder in Game 2 of the World Series, the Dodgers dugout—and all of Dodger Stadium—fell silent, showing just how crucial he was to the team. While he had to delay his trip to New York for further examination, he kept morale up, messaging his teammates, “Remember, we still won when Bellinger dislocated his shoulder.” He then forced himself back into the series, playing through the pain with injections.

    Did he really do “nothing”? Even if he couldn’t swing fully, he drew walks, trying to get on base, and the Yankees burned through bullpen pitchers just trying to keep him off. There’s no question that Freeman deserved the WS MVP, but he only finished what Ohtani had set up. The Dodgers honored Ohtani’s sacrifice.

    Judging him by WS stats alone misses the full season’s story—something every Dodgers fan understands.

  17. Ohtani was amazing in an unprecedented way during the regular season, and still had some huge moments during the postseason even if the overall numbers weren't standout. Indeed, the Dodgers might have lost the NLDS without his 3-run homer in game 1. And then he inspired the whole team by playing through injury in the World Series and making the Yankees adjust their pitching based on his continued power-threat at the plate. He's already a legend, and this postseason run just adds to that. Go Shohei, Go Dodgers!

  21. It's absolutely fascinating how everyone, including some Dodgers fans conveniently developed a selective memory about Ohtani's injury in game 2, magically erased the fact that he was basically playing with one arm tied behind his back throughout the entire World Series. I mean, really, how dare he not hit home runs with a dislocated shoulder as if he’s in some kind of superhero movie? Clearly, he should have just shrugged off that pesky medical condition and swung for the fences like nothing happened, right? Ohtani even joked during an interview about how he was popping painkillers throughout the whole series. But hey, let’s just throw logic to the wind and hold him to unreal expectations, shall we?

    These dimwits also completely glossed over the fact that, before the injury, Ohtani was the one who tied it up 2-2 in the 8th inning of Game 1, like he didn’t set the stage for Freddie’s grand slam heroics that shattered the Yankees' morale, playing a massive role in swinging the WS momentum in the Dodgers' favor.

    Seriously, do these casuals think Ohtani is some kind of wizard who can snap his fingers and make injuries vanish? One can't help but wonder if these armchair experts were dropped on their heads as infants. To expect a player, literally battling through pain, to still dominate and then berate him for not living up to those impossible standards is, well, as baffling as expecting a fish to climb a tree.

  22. Some people are whining and complaining about Shohei Ohtani being glazed too much. You can never glaze Ohtani enough.

    MLB should post a video about Ohtani everyday until the next season begins.😊😊😊
