WTF was that, Shohei?
10 strikeouts, 2 hits on 10 innings and a win. And 3 Roy Hobbs style bombs including a leadoff HR after striking out the side.
This is in the discussion for the most dominant athletic performance in history, across all sports.
Unreal.

Striking out 10 and allowing only 2 hits in 6.1 while also hitting 3 400+ foot, 110+ MPH exit velocity home runs IN THE NLCS is absolutely video game territory. It’s beyond comprehension, and does not seem humanly possible… if you were writing a baseball movie it would be too far. It’s more like Roy Hobbs than anything we’ve ever seen in the real world.

@SKT said in MLB (Baseball):
From this Cardinal fan’s perspective…it’s like if Bob Gibson and Albert Pujols were the same player. But possibly better?
Bob Gibson is the closest comparison. Fanning 10 and hitting a HR in 1967 World Series Game 7. But he gave up 3 more runs and hit 2 fewer HR. Nothing comes close to what he did in the regular or postseason at least that I’m aware of.

@mclaincausey I actually didn’t know those stats about Gibson! I was just speaking more generally…Ohtani is better as a single player than the greatest hitter and pitcher in Cardinals history combined. It’s nuts…and fun to get to be a witness to it

Haven’t watched baseball in a long time but that 6th inning, I think, was incredible from the jays. Awesome win for the Blue jays last night.

@Brandrea just ended haha. Damn, 18 innings is insane. Can’t say that I watched it all though.

@ZackB I woke up to our barking dog at 2am (est) and checked the score on my APP, couldn’t believe it was still going on …
I can’t wait to see Ohtani pitch tonight. Fingers crossed the Jays can bounce back.
