What was missed is the fact that September 19 was the 1 year anniversary of his elbow surgery. This is a rehabbing pitcher doing this extraordinary feat! Crazy!!!

[@wampabites]

Exactly. Ohtani haters say "oh, but he's just a DH this year", "it's easier to steal bases after the pitch clock", "he's MLB poster boy, he's favored", yada yada. People take Ohtani for granted. What they refuse to acknowledge is how hard the return after TJ surgery is. Any other recovering pitcher would be literally out for a year. Ohtani had to adapt to make himself useful for the team. And he's doing it so much better than other DHs, even at handicap conditions. What Ohtani did last night was... IMPOSSIBLE. How he somewhat keeps improving after facing adversity is his greatest achievement, not his stats... and he does it in such a spectacular way. He deserves 2024 MVP. I don't see Lindor or even Judge pushing to their limits. They don't go beyond their phenomenal set of skills. For Shohei, recovering isn't an excuse for not keeping developing himself. He could go the Rendon way, collecting fat paychecks while sitting out 3/4 of a season... but Shohei is a different breed.

@@wampabites ! 💯agree....nicely said!

[@losanjealous310]

Wow! Didn't know (or remember) that.....cool. 💪🧢

[@paulabbottii6937]

I just found another stat: Ohtani set the LA Dodger record yesterday for Total Bases in a single season. 2024 Ohtani 377 TB 2004 Beltré 376 TB

[@gibby232323]

The Greatest Single season game ever, and he did it with the pressure of getting to 50/50!

[@-.TS.-]

I think he’s going for 57 steals. 56 is the Japanese record held by Ichiro.

[@irisk934]

I truly feel like he can steal whenever he wants.

[@losanjealous310]

@@irisk934 Agree! I've heard many ex pro players in interviews say virtually the same and what they applaud is that he does it purposefully....never for self glory, but in situations that will help the team. 💙🧢

[@omgbygollywow]

It's sad only a few thousand people saw it live. I live in Pensacola, Florida, which is a 10 hour drive. I wish I had gone to this game. SMH.

[@seymorefact4333]

Dodgers playing Rockies 6 of the last 9 games....6060 FOR OHTANI!

[@williamandrews2196]

Just like we talk about Babe Ruth, generations ahead will talk about this game, and Shohei Ohtani 💪🏾

[@Buonarotti10]

We don't talk about Babe Ruth; he is way in the past.

[@estern001]

Shohei eats the pressure. He turns coal into diamonds. He performs best under pressure. He won championships in Japan and the WBC. All that was pressure.

[@stephenheu8059]

He accomplished all this on rehab.

[@teejay3272]

When Joe D. said that during the last HR call, when he lost his freaking mind, I thought it was hyperbole. But I'm not so sure now.

[@yadthink]

It's an absolute blast watching Shohei do his thing! His power is other-worldly, but so is his base-stealing ability.

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

60/60

[@bobts5510]

Wonder if trout reached out

[@bdnguyen]

Per RE24, Ohtani had the highest single game score ever at 9.73. Mark Whiten had the 2nd best score of 9.51 in a 4HR/12 RBIs game.

[@linhe3919]

The best game period 🤴🦄💙🔥❤️‍🔥💥😊

[@mikio6444]

Yes

[@Christopher-xn6rb]

NEVER apologize for knowing your stats… that’s as American as Apple Pie & Chevrolet

[@CaptainC6969]

GOATAHNI!!!!

[@wakey1974]

with all of the injures this year would the Dodgers have made the postseason if Ohtahni had not signed with them

[@venedenn1]

He hasn’t been caught stealing since July, but he did get picked off 1st base about a week ago

[@estern001]

He missed the cycle at 3rd. Just saying

[@losanjealous310]

LOL I love Daniel's 'where were you' (@ 1:03) comment and all I could think of was - "NOT in Florida at that game!" which I know many of us wish we had been! 🤣💪⚾

[@Spec5lew]

Please stop the bobble head! 😳😳😳

[@luislimon4499]

Guys it’s a great game and Shohei is awesome but it can’t be the best game ever. It can’t beat a World Series game seven so many of them Yankees Diamondbacks Twins Braves, but it was great go Dodgers let’s go.

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

Regular reason game ... nobody is saying it is the greatest baseball game ever ... Come on bruh

[@elishevajones6730]

This definitely wasn't the greatest baseball game of all time. For example, 1974 Joe Ferguson throw in World Series...1 of the most exciting games of all time. And there are many others!

[@scottstewart5784]

They're not saying THE game was the greatest game ever, rather HIS game was the best game had by a player.

[@rickdeckard9810]

6:05 spot on, he was inches from a homer in the first and fraction of a second from the cycle but then again who knows what would've happened had he homered in the first it would've been a totally different time line and parallel reality lol

[@teejay3272]

Good that you mentioned that. "If this had happened" drives me nuts. Everything changes on every pitch. What happened in the first inning has some level of influence on what happens in the 9th.

[@Mantaracer]

55&55 sounds good and doable for GOATani!!! 👍⚾💙
