Shohei Ohtani reached 250+ homers and 150+ stolen bases in 944 career games, the fewest of any player in MLB history.

He surpassed Alex Rodriguez (977games).

And Ohtani has only actually batted in 928 of his games because of his early career non-hitting when pitching!

1. He's a natural..................

gifted baseball player. My H & R tax agent adores him.

4. You know what the H & R stand for, right?

Home and run!

2. I hate the Dodgers but hats off

3. If the Dodgers cannot speak out in support of their fans, they will lose this fan.

Still, Go Ohtani!

5. He's the founding member of the 50/50 Club.

He is a real likable guy too!

Braves fan here, but you give the props to those who deserve them!

Great Post! Kudos!

6. Shohei Ohtani pitched the first inning tonight against the Padres

Unfortunately he left the game with a whopping ERA of 9.0!

7. Rusty!

Not Staub, just not enough repetitions against MLB hitters. It's been a long time!

8. Word!

9. Apparently, he hit 100 mph last night

And his stuff did look very good at times. I think the kid's going to be okay.

10. Tonights Dodger pitcher is still TBA

There's a reasonable chance we will see him on the mound again tonight.

Give the fans what they want.

11. The Dodgers' pitching staff

has been decimated by injuries. They're converting Ben Casparius into a starter out of necessity. Bringing back Emmett Sheehan tomorrow post-T.J. surgery. We'll see how he holds up.

12. Does Dave Roberts know Bill 'Spaceman' Lee is accustomed to one day contracts and is available?

His wicked eephus pitch would befuddle the Padres hitters while the Dodgers offense chalk up the numbers.
