Imagine Xmas dinner with the parents..   To your right is your Cy Young winning, WS Champion brother along with his bombshell supermodel wife and there you are bringing your Ohtani Bobblehead to dinner as your date with the entire family thinking this MF actually forgot Jackie Robinson existed.

I mean, they are both pretty successful at what they do.

The local Fox news a couple days ago was talking about various '___ of the year'.  They then got to sporting teams and the guy immediately says "gotta be the Dodgers -- the Ohtani signing".

I seriously could not believe what i heard...even from idiot people read news.  Team of the year for a team who lost yet again in the first round of the playoffs....but they spent a shet-ton of money to sign a soon-to-be 30 year old who is injured and can't pitch until 2025.  SMH.  Classic LA sports fan there in a nutshell.

I agree that Ben Verlander has succeeded at making dumb comments.

What's funny is that if Jackie Robinson were around today, a certain sector of folks wouldn't like him.

I went in to the office for the first time in almost two years and ran into an assist that we used to talk baseball. He was genuinely excited about Ohtani but doesn't realize he has a potential white elephant.

Ohtani had his highest oWar at 6.0 this season, but the year he blew out his elbow and came back to DH he was just a good hitter but not with a lot of power. This season Dodger fans may be wondering what they bought.

Truth is Ohtani is not an MVP hitter, he is not a Cy Young pitcher. He is a perennial All Star and takes away 7 starts per game from their best pitchers and drops those to a 6th man in the rotation, making it 52 instead of 31 games you have less than even chance of winning. So 100 win seasons and divisional banners may not be an automatic for the Dodgers in the future. 

But he is fun to watch play.

A certain "Angel Insider" here would criticize him for his Instagram profile having a Black fist.
