'LETS CALM DOWN!' - Mad Dog in DISBELIEF over Shohei Ohtani playing in 9th vs. Marlins | First Take

[@4velion]

Mad Dog is a true hater, he hates when old records are broken, he hates when his favorite athletes are surpassed and the list goes on and on

[@varunaX]

thats why hes good tv

[@vincente4570]

Just call him Skip Bayless part II😊

[@andrewfalconer8599]

He belongs at the Player Hater's Ball and I love it lol.

[@summerm2671]

Because he needs attention

[@davis2k1234]

Biggest hater but it’s funny he cheers for only 1 modern day player Mahomes because of his 2 decades of hating on Brady

[@1297skypred]

Mad dog took a mad L. The people came to see Shohei, let them have all they can get!

[@RobbieStacks90]

Like it or not, Ohtani brings back bad memories for some of a dark period in American history when our country's bravest rose to the occasion.

[@marsgordeuk]

MARLINS R TERRIBLE & FANS DONT SHOW UP.

[@vincente4570]

You saw the whole cast dog piled on em right😎

[@sixtynine2856]

​@@RobbieStacks90😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JuliusC1973]

He had to steal another Base? He is The Founding Member of the 50-50 Club. It might be hard to ask him to pitch after his elbow heels, as he can play every day as a DH as opposed to pitching eveyr fifth day.

[@TheDevnul]

I guess he didn’t see the Marlins fan standing and cheering!

[@HutchIsOnYT]

The singular Marlins fan lol

[@GDTBATH]

Oh, BS. Ohtani could have popped out and tarnished the day but of course he crushed it.

[@andrewfalconer8599]

Mad Dog has just recieved an honorary Player Hater's Ball Award.

I lived in NYC when he was on WFAN. He is one of the most serious SF Giants I have ever seen or heard. It makes sense he would not like the Dodgers.

[@SportsBuilding]

For the people who don’t know, Mad Dog grew up a NY Giants fan. His hatred spans generations and time zones 😂

[@genius179]

He's a NY baseball Giants fan, no?

[@SportsBuilding]

@@genius179 Yep! And kept it up when they moved out west

[@genius179]

@@SportsBuilding so here’s the thing too, I just realized. Doggie must be one of those people who act older than he is, particularly with his sports opinions. He’ll be like 65 in two weeks, the Giants & Dodgers moved to California in 62, so that means for Doggie’s sport watching life, the Giants have been in California

[@SportsBuilding]

@@genius179 I can kinda relate. Vividly remember watching Kobe & Shaq era Lakers at like 3. Read a bunch of Sports Illustrated as a kid, so I knew about these things that happened in the 90’s and early 00’s. It’s kinda the same with him. He knows all the stuff right before he came on the scene.

[@mirikaku5811]

Yeah, Judge has also hit against position players..Shall we subtract from his record?

[@NZZN666]

I love Mad Dog but I bet if Ohtani was American he'd love him. To me baseball sux but Ohtani is something special and he alone is worth watching.

[@bmac318]

Molly is looking good today

[@34skywalker]

I cant keep my eyes off Molly!!

[@mannyperez28]

If people are mad at Ohtani than don’t watch baseball go do something else in life and stop hating on a baseball player that has been playing professionally for years his whole life in his career he works very hard everyday playing baseball and is dedicated everyday on playing because that’s what it takes in life if you want to get to your career in life or just in general in life if you want to play a professional sport or make it to your career

[@taplightly]

I wonder how much spit gets on the camera man when Mad Dog is 3 inches from the camera.

[@MrNaturalSez]

All of it!

Bob Irsay ain’t no better🤷🏿

[@JuliusC1973]

Cleveland feels the same way about Art Modell and I'm sure there are people in San Diego, St. Louis and Houston about those teams moving.

[@JoseMartinez-js7gt]

Arthur Bank should be in the Patriots Ring of Honor had me rolling 😂😂😂

[@cryptidian3530]

I understand Mad Dog. He doesn't want to see his baseball heroes get surpassed by a modern player. It is what it is. Try to embrace it and enjoy it, Doggy.

[@Dreas_Diaz88]

My favorite part of my Wednesday

[@derkiealfonso2393]

Sorry Mad Dog, the GOAT of baseball happens to be Asian.

[@boomerang8909]

In Mad Dog's defense, what do Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge and Shohei Otani have in common? NONE of them won a World Series Championship because their personal achievements didn't come against better teams.

[@vgd87]

Mad dog has always been a hater. complaining about the ninth inning. As far as everyone one is aware the game isn't over until the 9th inning ends (unless its a tie) people paid to see Ohtani come play, both managers knew this hence they pitch to him and sent him out

[@AG-kx1el]

Mad dog is the friend that bring honesty to the table

[@marsrecordings]

Still best segment of the week

[@moneygettin5938]

Molly 2 fire

[@db1418]

Stephen A being factually wrong regarding socially funded Stadiums for private profits, there has been a multitude of reports and research done showing that there is minimal to no benefit of state funding for them.

[@VynceXL]

molly might be annoying.....but shes so fine

[@xh3598]

The crap that comes out of this guy is always if you are not a Yankee then you are nothing.

[@kelvinquartey6888]

The Oracle is one of the stadiums I wished I visited

[@chrismyco7950]

I disagree for the same reason I was tight when twice the coach stopped Klay Thompson from probably scoring 100 points in a game.

[@BigE-747]

He's the proverbial old man yelling at the clouds...no idea why they keep him around.

[@charliemessina8048]

Because he is funny & entertaining

[@bixhutch6274]

Because he's hilarious

[@jkato007]

I think Mad Dog actually loves Ohtani in his heart .. it's just his performance for entertainment to hate. The last home run of Ohtani that flew over to the deep second deck was entertainment too. If that home run just barely went over the fence, we'd criticize, but one flying that far is just a pure fun.

[@llena9778]

I like the drama of it all Mad dog, Stephen A, and Sharpe 😂 comedy

[@Sincity702boy]

Poor man’s skip bayless, and that’s not saying much.

[@quentingartside2166]

They truly do get every call, after that compilation video of all those holds on Bosa in the SB and it’s not just in one game. Either call it the same on both sides or don’t call anything!

[@mannylora]

I always agree with Mad Dog but in this case I do not. As a baseball purist who Mad Dog claims to be, how can you be upset at the opposing manager refusing to intentionally walk Ohtani and for Robert’s to not bench him even though he already hit the 50/50 mark. This is what baseball is all about.

[@starwalk3r]

Both sides of the argument are valid.

[@WestCoastStyleSports]

The A’s ownership group is a joke

[@arturomexican19]

Thank you ESPN for not having kimberly on. Hopefully it stays that way!

[@jonathanmuldrow8458]

She'll be there Thursday 🙄

[@groworchids]

he is not a Dodgers hater. he is a pure racist, not judging him from this clip only but from every word he has said about Ohtani. There is another one just like him, Rob Parker. These two symbolizes the reason why baseball was dying until Shohei showed up.

[@twmonkeyboy]

Mad Dog tapping into his inner Gilbert Gottfried. 🤣

[@khanhle-vu2hh]

That is why you stand alone... haters dont have friends.

[@seanleaf3165]

How do you know of Mad dog is upset or not? Does he whisper when pissed?

Though I disagree with mad dog on the ohtani take, stephen A didn't do any favors when he said "people paid money to come watch them play" what about eveeybody load managing in NBA that he's ok with?

Mad Dog has always been a Hatter of Ohtani,

[@robertwilliamzeleny3987]

Most people say that let play hit home run fifty fifty home run and manage let him hit home run and ask most people doing some like that

[@hbyangaptx4869]

I don't understand why this person is entrusted with the job.

I did not realize professionals had a mercy rule Mad Dog. The Marlins might as well have not started the 9th inning and should have not even come out.

[@renwester7]

Why does Mad dog always hate on Asian players?! 😢 I didn’t wanna believe it but this is the second time I’ve seen him hate on Shohei. Come on mad dog

[@user-xw5oq9xx9i]

Every sentiment has it's own market and supporters even it's minor. Ohtani has the lion share of attentions. Many enjoy it, taking it as daily doses; some may want more balance and equal opportunities for others. He just grab this part of listeners, and using exaggerated debate as the form to make it interesting. It is not unhealthy or anti-Asia, but rather marketing considerations.

[@Jason-ho8wr]

Oh come on! He was throwing 68 mph.

[@hansouth2355]

good arguments both. but baseball loves stats, higher the better. so it makes sense to hype one of the greatest player...good for baseball

[@velmanevarez2263]

If Shohei is a Yankees then he’s the greatest ever.

[@stevengrvp]

Mad dog is nyc royalty

[@STATUSBABYYY]

I agree with mad dog

[@uhhmon319]

The only thing worse than the intentional walk is penalty kicks at the end of international football matches 🤢

[@sahilbhardwaj3907]

Penalty kicks are a lottery for sure but they are necessary as players get tired and even the extra time is boring due to fatigue. Every kick is so much pressure that even decades later people remember the player who missed the penalty for their country. Since it only happens in knockout competitions it's one of the most exhilarating things that happen in football.

[@4cornersofthelaw]

Mad dog did a bump before this segment

[@Rickiwitdasticki]

[@Mr.MallyMall]

1. Shout out to JMU! Harrisonburg, Virginia! 2. Fire Molly. Shorty is annoying! 3. Hitting that last home run is like an NFL scoring on a high school team. Yeah it counts. But, it's not impressive at all.

[@LOMU925]

Mad Dog complains about NBA players load management. Says If they get paid to play then they have to play. Now all of a sudden Ohtani shouldn’t be playing late in the game that he gets paid to play 😂😂😂
