Within the last 7 days, the @Dodgers have gotten:
5.1 shutout IP from Yamamoto
6.0 shutout IP from Ohtani
7.0 shutout IP from Sasaki
No other team in MLB history has had 3 different Japanese-born pitchers deliver a scoreless start over an entire season (let alone in one week).
Roki Sasaki continued his strong stretch tour with an excellent performance against the Angels where he struck out 8 over 6.0 shutout innings
This is the best his fastball has looked in MLB and his command has vastly improved lately. He can be a special arm!
Roki Sasaki’s last 4 starts:
7.0 IP | 4 H | 1 ER | 0 BB | 8 K’s
5.0 IP | 4 H | 2 ER | 2 BB | 4 K’s
5.1 IP | 3 H | 1 ER | 1 BB | 7 K’s
7.0 IP | 2 H | 0 ER | 2 BB | 10 K’s
He might be arriving
If Ohtani has the best season ever, it won’t be because “WAR” said so. People need to understand that WAR was never designed with a player like Ohtani in mind
Shohei Ohtani is now on pace for 13.6 (!!!) bWAR this season
The only season since 1920 that’s topped that is 1923 Babe Ruth at 14.1
There’s a real chance we’re witnessing the greatest season in baseball history
Shohei Ohtani now has the highest OBP and 2nd-highest wRC+ in the NL.
Shohei Ohtani lowered his ERA to 0.74, the best among all SP with at least 60 IP.
We’ve already seen 4 Ohtani MVP seasons and somehow 2026 will be his best year yet
@Richard84205517@SanPedroAce You guys are brain dead. If deferrals weren’t a thing he would’ve just gotten and 465/10 year contract so thebtaxbhit would be the same
