Please stop comparing Ohtani to Babe Ruth; there was no DH back in Babe's day and playing the field all season takes its toll physically and increases chances of injury; Ohtani is great and the best that we have seen in our life time, but keep in mind that he has played DH all year - his only focus was to hit - no fielding and he did not pitch. If he was pitching this year and playing the field, he would certainly not put up these numbers. Babe Ruth was a 20-game winner and won in the World Series and slugged 700 HRs in his career, so let's not say that Ohtani is better than Babe, because Ohtani has not accomplished these milestones and probably never will. Completely different eras and players. Enjoy this special moment in baseball and seeing something never done 50-50, but please don't make apples and orange comparisons with Babe - you are all more knowledgeable than that. Peace
Ohtani is the greatest talent to ever step foot on an MLB field. The comparisons to babe are inevitable because he’s literally the only comparable player. Not to mention that Babe wasn’t really that dominant of a pitcher. He pitched in the dead ball era. Bringing up pitcher wins as an argument for babes pitching prowess ain’t it. You wanna talk about the field taking a toll on players? Dude is literally rehabbing from TJ. He’s a cy young caliber arm, who just went 50HR/50SB while batting nearly .300. Debate a wall.
As much as I like you guys and I will follow you as I do for many years now, Ohtani is not the most talented player in my view. - No defense. Period. While batting. - Base-steal-rules changed DRASTICally, we will never be able to compare stolen bases to older or historical stats. For that I just don't care if a player steals 70 or 80 bases, completely irrelevant. Not for Fantasy Baseball though, but very well for historical comparisons!!!
Okay? Take away steals and he's still by far the most talented player to ever exist. What player is hitting 50 homers and being an ace pitcher with a 3.00 ERA? You sound very very foolish. "No DeFeNsE" Did you just start watching this year? Do you not know he's a pitcher? LMFAO
I get what you are saying but this view means no current or future player in any professional sport can be considered best of all time because every league has had drastic changes
@@CranstonSandwich That's partly true, one has to try to compare objectively, which is very hard. In Football for example: in the 80's at times of Dan Marino, Joe Montana & Dave Krieg for several years just 4-5 QB's had more than 3.000 yards passing in a season!!! And those (especially Marino & Montana) were argueably on of the all-time-greats. Today (because a defender barely is allowed to touch the QB) 7-8 pass the 4.000 yd mark in a year.
@@BerndJung-o4n you just proved my point, with that line of thought you can’t compare or say any current or future players are goats… maybe no one should say Ohtani is a goat because for all we know this is the last year he ever plays, which would hurt his chances in the discussion of greats, like B Sanders, I think he is a great but since he(and J Brown) only played 8 years, should they be taken out of the goat discussion… only going back 20 years should we not say any current or future players can never be a goat because of the advancement of medicine, diet, exercise, ease of life, money made, etc? Just sticking with baseball how many people can hit like a beast and pitch like a beast? Babe Ruth… should he not be considered a goat because he didn’t play a lot of defense? I’ll admit GOAT discussions are tough, and you have your opinion, but my opinion is Ohtani is a goat… GOAT discussions are also hard(in all sports) because each position requires different skills… ah I am talking in circles thinking about it, goat discussions will always be “controversial” lol I think if Ohtani stays healthy another 8-10 years he will go down as a goat, regardless if he doesn’t play defense… one could use your own argument against you and say whoever you think is the best never pitched so they can’t be goat… lol I hear your point though
@@CranstonSandwich Great arguing!!! I really loved reading Your comment. Just 1 thing though: The BABE played defense all his carreer, because there simply was no DH... To me (a true Devil Rays freak & Yankee "disliker") he is still THE GOAT... Peace, Bernd.

Happy Kokomo Friday Everyone! Thank you Frank Scott and Chris! Watching Shohei Ohtani was incredible!
Playing ohtani in the championship. Sweet
Can Chris start his own morning show called first pizza? Sounds hilarious.
I already feel old. Just about everyone in the Kokomo Friday song is no longer relevant in the MLB except Castillo.
Aaron Nola
Freddie Peralta
Sandy Alcantara he's just hurt.
All 3 still relevant.
@@VictorGarciaJrnot to mention Manoah. Comeback szn soon 😂
Oh! Oh! Oh! Ohtaaaaniiii!!!!
Auto parts, ow!!!
Barry 2004 is better than 2001 Chris check the stats
9 games left ... he can reach 55 / 55. If he gets 60/55 or 60 / 60 ? Thats just inssne
Ohtani 500 career homeruns? 3,000 hits? 300 Wins? All time Great? Top 100 all time?

Chris is 100% voting for Comrade Kamala
The pitching today is so much worse than “back in the day”! Please! No player in the modern era will ever be the “best player ever”!
Satire? What do you mean pitching today is worse than ever?

You're right, he's better than Babe.
