Matt Olson just past “THE UNICORN” up today in HR’s and is blasting him out of the water in the RBI race :) I know that will make all the CERTAIN types of trolls angry but he is. 😂😂😂😂
this was one of the most fascinating LT convos we've done. The HOF talk at the end will get most of the attention but there is a lot more to unpack here
I don't think there's that much mystery to why Shohei chose the Angels for his first MLB club. A combination of Mike Trout being on the team, no DH in the NL at the time, and the southern California conditions, also closer for a visit to his homeland. I'm glad he did that. Most MLB clubs would have tried to force him into choosing between hitting and pitching. We've been able to see what a superb talent and very focused athlete can do if they decide to excel at both. Maybe only Ohtani is capable of that, though I'm sure others will try.
yeah noticed that too... like it's really easy to guess why he chose the angels. top of his list is it should be AL so he can play two-way with DH. and then there's mike trout, arguably the best player (all time) and at the time he made the move to mlb.
Pretty much this. if he went NL, then he puts himself at a higher chance of being forced to pick one position. AL gave him the chance to play both. Now that NL has changed rules to allow a DH for pitchers, Ohtani went to the open market and went with the Dodgers. The other teams outside of the west coast had a major disadvantage because of geographic distance from his home country (but also because he wants the typical broadcasted games by time zone in USA to be viewable in Japan)
Imagine if the Angles traded him to the Braves. 1. Harris 2. Acuna 3. Ohtani 4. Olson 5 Albies 6 Riley 7 Ozuna 8 Murphy 9 Rosario ...all over 20 hrs. Acuna and Ohtani...2 of the greatest single seasons in baseball history.
DH was the main reason he didn't go to an NL team because to play the outfield daily and pitch is too much for the human body! Ohtani has played all but 2 games this year and has admitted to being tired lately. There's 0 chance he could play outfield and pitch too without being too tired and his body breaking down. I'm hoping he goes to the Dodgers next year because he'll still get to live basically the same socal live and they consistently make the playoffs. Teams have been barely pitching to Ohtani since the all-star break and especially since toronto intentionally walked him so much. I think he has 20 or so solo homers too, otherwise he should have 100+ rbi by now. I can't wait till he goes to a team where they can't focus on getting Ohtani out and pitching around him!
never has anybody ever seen a team's best starting pitcher get intentionally walked so many fkn times. it's beginning to turn me off to baseball actually
ur starting pitcher is being intentionally walked more than anyone else ur starting pitcher is ur co home run leader ur co home run leader just pitched a complete game shut out ur co home run leader strikes out like 10 batters on average per start
Count the amount of intentional walks he received on those weeks before saying something like that... Teams haven't been pitching to him lately and has literally zero protection on the lineup... his "decline" isn't because he's tired Compare him to Matt Olson for example, who has Acuña, Riley and Albies and I would say that 70%+ times he steps on home plate there's a player on base
Exactly. Shohei Ohtani is a handsome man. He looks like a model. 😍💖💖
Handsome man. ❤️
So does Yu Darvish. It must be a tall Japanese pitcher thing. Lol
@@joeyartkDarvish is half Iranian, that's why he looks a little different than traditional full Japanese look like Ohtani
@@user-dr2ym5jr7lhe still looks very strongly Japanese
@@joeyartk, Ohtani more handsome than Darvish.
DUDE! My favorite player from childhood talking about my favorite player now.
Great to see one of the greatests recognizing Ohtani 👍
Easy to recognize the best player of all time lmao

@@jimclaus1576 that's pathetic thinking. Olson is in NL, there is no competition with Shohei😂 plus, Olson doesn't pitch. So your troll has failed.
@@koningklootzak7788 They know, but many are racists and bigots
I Love Shohei😍
Shotani has a tremendous respect for Mr. Big Mac
これだけあのマグワイヤに絶賛されるのは素直に嬉しい。こんなん絶対誰か日本人向けに字幕付き動画作るやろ。

興味深い内容だったので
大谷さんについて語ってる部分は
ほぼ全部訳されたそうです。
動画と合わせて訪問者の皆様拝読してみて下さい。
司会: あなたがかつていたパドレスは、大谷獲得を考えていましたよね?大谷の今の活躍を見て、パドレスはあの時もっとああすれば良かったなど後悔があるんじゃないですか?
マグワイア: 来年は獲得できるかもしれないよ、まだわからない笑
私は当時ベンチコーチで、大谷についてのミーティングのため大勢でLAに行ったよ。
そこで彼の日本での打撃や投球のビデオを見て「うん、彼はそこそこ良いバッターじゃないかな」と思ったんだ。 その頃は、ここ6年の彼の活躍までは見通せなかった。
大谷が部屋に入ってきた時、まず思ったよ。
「おいおい、すごいな。随分なイケメンだな。俳優じゃないか。映画に出るべきだ」ってね。
彼は長身で顔が良くて、若くして既にプロの存在感を放っていた。
その後、何度も何度もミーティングを重ねたけど、結局彼はエンゼルスへ行く事になった。
当時はそこそこ良いバッターになるのは見えていたけど、スプリングトレーニングでレッグキックがうまくいってないようで苦戦してた。 で、結局レッグキックをやめたら今のバッター大谷の誕生さ。素晴らしいよ。あんなの誰も今まで見たことがない。
投球面でもまだ何も失ってない。未だに90mph後半の球を投げるし、ある時はスイーパー、ある時はスプリット。とにかくマウンド上の彼はクリエイティブ。 打撃面でも、彼にはとても共感できる。
彼は自信を持って打席に立っていて、相手投手が自分に対してベストな投球をしてくるのもわかってる。
そこでプレートのど真ん中にボールが来たらもう”サヨナラ”だよ。銃弾のように鋭く打たれるか、ホームランかどちらか。しかも、それをいとも簡単にやっているように見える。
昨日だったかな。二塁を抜ける打球があったけど、とんでもない激走をして二塁打に変えてたからね。
みなさん、これは知っておいた方が良い。 こんなのもう生涯見ることはないかもしれない、と。
司会: 大谷は今や、かつてなくパーフェクトなオールラウンドピッチャーであり、バッターであると言えますよね。パドレスはなぜもっと本気で狙わなかったんですか?
マグワイア: パドレスは当時、外野手と投手をやって欲しかったからね。あの時は投手がDHとして出場できるルールも無かったしね。
彼がなんでエンゼルスを選んだかは知らないけど。その当時、球界最高のプレイヤーだったマイクトラウトと一緒にプレイしたかったんじゃないかな。 そして、今もそんなトラウトと一緒に勝ちたいんじゃないかな。 良いチームだけど、残念ながらトラウトはまたケガしてしまってるから、なんとか戻ってきて大谷をアナハイムに引き止めたいと思ってるよね、きっと。
英語できるアピールいらん
@foulterritoryshow can you insert these translations into the video for the Japanese audience please?

When Mark McGwire has a man crush on a guy,
Lol, I said the same thing. Fully grown man crushing.
That's Shohei even guys got a crush on him lol
大谷って 野球の才能もあるけど、イケメンでもあるんだよね
I knew it, Pujols had a big impact in dropping the leg kick.
♡♡♡

It's a legit strategy though. It's up to his manager / the rest of the lineup to capitalize on his walks.
ur starting pitcher is being intentionally walked more than anyone else
ur starting pitcher is ur co home run leader
ur co home run leader just pitched a complete game shut out
ur co home run leader strikes out like 10 batters on average per start
When Shohei signs his next contract he owes Eric Hinske a nice bonus.
MLB willingly and knowingly used him on the rise and threw him under the bus when the media and public started asking questions.
Who'd wanna live in a ratty-skanky city like SF, or LA? Sho is used to cleanliness. It's CULTURAL 😲
I love Ohtani but he's done for the season. Doing both has taken a toll on him, he's tired. He's only hit 2 homeruns in 3 weeks.
Count the amount of intentional walks he received on those weeks before saying something like that...
Teams haven't been pitching to him lately and has literally zero protection on the lineup... his "decline" isn't because he's tired
Compare him to Matt Olson for example, who has Acuña, Riley and Albies and I would say that 70%+ times he steps on home plate there's a player on base
@@elisamuelpedraza8228Well he's skipping his next start because of arm fatigue which also effects his batting.
I mean he's still hitting .300+ in August with a .420 OBP, and .524 Slugging. That's still high level all-star production.
I can still see the juice residue on his skin.
Nah, Mark…His major reason to play for The Angels is the fact they allowed him to become a two-way player.
I bet he still on drugs once an addict always an addict
Nah he looks natural to me compared to what he looked like in the 90s
He wasn’t an addict. Just trying to perform better. Doesn’t play anymore so he doesn’t do it.
Steroids aren't addictive silly
@@skitown11 you have problem w my statement why don’t you do something about it boy! You probably are a user yourself an addict
@@teranmm perform better? What a joke! Ichiro never used drugs and still performed at elite level. McQuire is a joke n cheater fraud and phony
