“Unbelievable!” - Rich Eisen Reacts to Shohei Ohtani’s Mindboggling 51/51 Game | The Rich Eisen Show

[@roshoknow5811]

In my 29 years of living i never been interested in watching baseball until Shohei came in the picture long before the 50/50 conversation. What a time to be alive for the baseball fans.

[@Blue_G707]

Same and I’m from UK / Hong Kong 😂

[@samidavis3146]

When he got injured last year, I thought his best days were over, and I was frustrated with the Angels for not utilizing his talent. But to my surprise, he adapted his game and elevated it even further. I’m not sure if his arm will ever dominate the way it used to, but like Babe Ruth, his hitting might reach new heights. Plus, there’s a chance he’ll play in the outfield once he's done pitching. Even though I’m primarily a football and basketball fan, I’m Shohei’s biggest supporter because I simply appreciate greatness. Here’s to witnessing more broken sports records!

[@nsn5564]

You don't get to steal a base when you hit a home run, so imagine how much more difficult it is to break records simultaneously these conflicting tasks.

[@corbfisher]

He was one step short of having a triple and a cycle too. What shocks me is that he is not a small guy. Except for maybe Canseco, I can't think of anyone else who is a big power hitter who is/was as fast. Well, I'm going to enjoy this season, because if he pitches in 2025, the Dodgers are going to shut down his baserunning and probably only going to let him play around 130 games as a hitter. If he's going to be a starter in the rotation, the Dodger's management are going to look like idiots if they let the guy get hurt running around out there.

[@fongvang935]

We should all be grateful we are alive to watch Ohtani play.

When Ruth was hitting home runs he wasn’t pitching the most hr as a full time pitcher for Ruth is 29 ,11,4,3,2. Ohtani has ready went 46,34,44 while pitching full time.

When Middle School and High School students learn about the Roaring '20s of the 20th Century, Babe Ruth's name is included in the historical narrative as a person who influenced an era, along with Bobby Jones in golf, Red Grange in football and Jack Dempsey in boxing. I highly doubt there will be any mention of Shoei Ohtani's name in the narrative of the '20s of the 21st century when studying American history. Babe Ruth is an historic icon, Ohtani will be considered a great ballplayer until the next one comes along, and he will.

He hasn't influenced an entire generation, the way Ruth and the other athletes I mentioned influenced an era, 100 years ago. One thing though, the 1920s was the first decade in American history where sports invaded the culture. We have had 100 years now of professional sports being a regular part of American society. The 2020s is just another part of that 100 years. as for the black guy reference, do you know that every school history textbook mentions Jackie Robinson and students have been made well aware of his contribution to equal rights? That has been included in the curriculum since the 1980s.

I currently live in Japan and I can’t tell you how proud the Japanese are of Shohei. He’s almost too perfect - and I say that in the best of ways. He’s a great guy, very down to earth and polite. Also, he’s almost like Michael Phelps in the sense that he is the perfect baseball player. His swing reminds me of Ken Griffey Jr’s. It’s so effortless, but b/c he’s 6’3” and 205-210, it’s incredibly powerful. Wait until next year when he starts pitching again. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins a Cy Young to go along with HR titles and MVP’s. The guy’s awesome and we are fortunate to be able to watch him.

Went into the stands about 7-8’ fair, second row of seats. Insane.

[@EshockT]

Not just the greatest Baseball Player of all time at this stage of his career. There’s never been another athlete in the world who is this much better than anyone else in history when you consider his pitching dominance. I can’t think of anyone who even compares.

[@alkao9826]

60-60 is within reach!

[@davidmsirois]

imagine? he'd have to go McGwire/Henderson crazy these last few games but after last game i don't doubt it!

[@scottcampbell96]

I didn’t think so, but it really is possible according to baseball-almanac. The Dodgers have 9 games left. Don Mattingly (10 in 8 straight games in 1987), Joey Votto (9 in 7 games in 2021), Barry Bonds (9 in 6 games in 2001), and Frank Howard (10 in 6 in 1968). These are just the records, I think, so there may be more. SB should be easy compared to that.

WNC is already in it!

[@no2all]

Shohei Otani...worth every penny the Dodgers are forking out...and more.

[@JLStanton1968]

What's being overlooked, due to how crazy this day was, he was two feet from hitting for the cycle as well.

[@TheTonyEntertainment]

what's the cycle?

[@JLStanton1968]

@@TheTonyEntertainmentSingle, double, triple and home run in same game.

[@simplymari17]

Yes! Ohtani is just Amazing! My whole family started watching baseball because of Ohtani!!

[@therealsun86]

He’s like a created player on MLB2K

[@Shayjayb]

He was close to the cycle but also forgot to mention he was even closer (a foot?) from a 4 home run game.

[@themok4125]

Shohei makes baseball fun again

[@Soopology]

The funny thing is, he loves pitching much more than hitting. STILL. 😂

[@ORagnar]

He came close to hitting for the cycle, as well. It took a great throw to gun him down. I've never seen a performance this great. o-) a_0bp

[@SungYang-l8x]

Wait, he might end up creating the 55-55 club this year!

Can you just imagine what it must feel like to be an Angels fan right now?

[@morrisparrish76]

Not good!

[@GenerationalDisappointment]

Aside from Barry Bonds, who for some reason people love to leave out of this conversation, he's the best player I've ever seen.

[@zsefton]

*greatest hitter Prime Griffey was insane

[@doubledown8229]

Mr. BALCO Bonds

[@sonnybunac]

I'm a dodgers fan who loved me some Barry Bonds. This Guy is right up thier

[@MC-tm2uy]

Thats what happened when you cheated

[@ХорхеГарсия-э5е]

​@@zsefton PLAYER This dude also pitches

[@aarchiewaldron]

He's no Luke Appling but this Ohtani guy's got potential if he keeps working hard.

[@scud3238]

got to take into account he’s been the lead off hitter for most of the season so his first at bat can’t get any RBI’s and still has 120…bonkers

[@pico4124]

Thank you, Rich, for being so objective about Shohei’s amazing talent. Thank you.

[@mkate1947]

I just love when people are in awe of him. Like I’m not the only one 😅

[@Acebets70]

When did we let Rich talk about Shohei again?

[@travelvblog2594]

and a rehab pitcher 😂

[@pnshr88]

Again, the fact that this guy is on a Tommy John's recovery and figured, while I wait for that outcome I'll just dabble in this designated hitter thing.

[@tigerbalm20000]

I’m way more impressed by the How Soon Is Now reference! He even got the singers name correct . Bravo!

[@eddieliao1500]

Cannot wait to see a pitcher to achieve 51/51 next season. :)

[@joethedeer9453]

Thursday, Ohtani elevated himself from Legendary to Mythical, the man is 1 of 1. What a season for a rehabbing pitcher!

[@TheDevnul]

Next year 50 HR 50 SB 20 games won as a pitcher.

[@L7Rider]

It's definitely better to make a Shohei Otani movie while he's still alive. Also for future generations.

[@torpedohost]

greatest irish baseball player of all time O'tani we rooting for you

[@sherimay1957]

Ohtani🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@xiaobiaoxu5984]

I think he can surpass Judge to be the HR king of this season ...

[@nowgaku]

A small wish to see batter Judge and pitcher Shohei compete in the World Series if possible.

[@davidsmith9]

he is the greatest living player. there's no comparison to what an overall player he is

[@NancynMark]

60/60 Here We Go!!!!!!! Let’s Go Dodgers!!!!!!

[@saejinlee6304]

This is my 5,000th liked video and/or short! I've, only, created a YT acct. about a few years ago. So, I thought that, it is only fitting if I mark this auspicious occasion by commenting on a video about another historic achievement. I'm sure that many of you are near or have already passed this milestone. I wanted to wait for the right video to come along and I've found it. I'm not much of a sports fan anymore but, even I can appreciate the greatness of this man and his accomplishments. As a lifelong Angeleno who has lost interest in sports, as I've gotten older, I can still recognize that I'm witnessing something truly remarkable and perhaps generational. So, I say cheers to the Shohei Otanis and Caitlin Clarks of the world.

And hitting and stealing isn’t even his real SUPERPOWER😂🐐💪🏻

[@rifyrafi]

I saw his 1st game in 2018 with the Angels. Someone who pitches and hits. No way. My first in-person baseball game since 1981. I've been a fan ever since. Not surprised. He's a special player.
