Maybe, maybe, maybe.............
So close. Not too many pitchers, especially nowadays, go 9 innings without giving up a hit. Bowden Francis almost got it done today in Toronto vs Mets.
That hit resulted in a tying run. It's now 1-1. Replacement pitcher is Chad Green. Pretty much a loss today. Green sucks ass. He took over and now it's bases loaded with no out, ffs.

In other news.......... Shohei Ohtani just hit his 47th home run against Chicago Cubs. Goes well with his 47th stolen base from last night.
50/50 is totally possible. History in the making.............. please, please, please, stay healthy. I want to see it and say I witnessed it.
Teoscar Hernandez (former Blue Jay) in today's game, as well. Down 2-0, LA is now up 4-2. I love baseball................ Till now, I had no reason to watch any other team than the Jays.
EDIT: 5-2. Back to back to back home runs for the Dodgers. Bottom of the first. Lol, combo breaker - only a single.

I'm thinking I'm a Dodgers fan now. Old Jays, Teoscar Hernandez and now Kevin, I didn't steal that card, Kiermaier playing for the Dodgers.
Down 2-0, Ohtani hits two ribeyes in the game to tie it up. Later in the game, 9th inning, Atlanta manager with two outs, gives Ohtani the four finger and Mookie Betts says, "It's go time!" Mookie drives in a run. Later in the same inning, Dodgers hit back to back to back home runs. Hernandez, Edman, and Muncy. Deja vu. 9-2 win.
I've been recording the Dodgers games, in case I miss the 50/50 game. It'll be first time in MLB history. Never been done. Ever!
On a side note the New Jays swept the series against the Cardy's today. Jamie Campbell Broom flip time.

Shohei stole base number 49 today. No home run, but IMHO, a stolen base is harder to get than a homer. I mean the guy has a knack for hitting it deep. Actually, I take that back. He's such a good hitter, the opposition will four finger him. His speed and reflexes will get him a stolen base easily.
Can't imagine him being able to pitch on top of all this. Nuts.

What?????? I missed it!!!
Okay, hopefully I have it on PVR.
Fan who caught the ball did not return it............. probably worth a lot of money. Still, the right thing to do is give it back. I'm sure Ohtani and the LA Dodgers will compensate. If I were the person, I'd give it back and let the baseball gods take care of the rest.

if he wants any GOOD value, he needs the park to authenticate it
regardless, the fan in for something cool.. the dodgers wont compensate him for shit tho.

Gotta love Buck Martinez and his awesome stories.
Conversation started with players and managers getting thrown out of games. Then progressed to announcers getting thrown out. Asked how? Buck tells story of a PA announcer being thrown out of the game for............playing "Three Blind Mice," during the game, after a bad call, lololololol.............

As for the fan who caught it not giving it back, I have no issues with that. You paid your ticket to be there, you basically won the lottery catching that ball so go get what it's worth. If the Dodgers or Ohtani want it that bad they have more than enough cash to get it and they wouldn't even notice the money missing from their account.

Authentication of sorts is already done. All balls are serialized and recorded. I remember when Judge was going for some record. Specially marked balls. A set given to the ump to give to the pitcher when the batter steps up to the plate.
Anyway, I think Shohei is a pretty honourable guy. In all honesty, he might not even care. He's going to be in Cooperstown. That is a pretty big deal.
He made history. Nobody has done it before. 55/55 club? Actually, being in a World Series is a dream for him. One ball is insignificant in the bigger scheme of things. I can see it now. In 2025 Ohtani pitches a no hitter while he pulls a natural cycle. Now that would put him in god-like territory.
I think I almost prefer him as a DH lol. He's had a couple arm surgeries now so the next arm injury is probably going to be a wrap for his pitching career so it'll be interesting to see if he comes back still throwing gas and able to stay healthy doing it.
Without pitching I feel like it allows him the energy to hit bombs and steal bases with ease.

LA Dodgers are 2024 World Series Champions!!!
Yankees were up 5-0 and looked like game six was going to happen. Then, the Yankees choked. Big Time choke. Meltdown - errors galore.
Teoscar - so happy for him.
Freeman a Canadian - yes he plays for Canada in the World Baseball Classic. Born in US, but parents are Canadian. He is a proud Canadian. Weird, but true.
Shohei Ohtani - man, playing with a serious injury.
Yamamoto - Japan must be going nuts right now.
Best part...... those fucking Yankees get schooled. Love it , love it, love it..............................
EDIT: Freddy Freeman wins the World Series MVP!

To be fair LA is basically at the top of the list on "buying" a championship it's just they deferred huge contracts like Ohtani's to keep the numbers down.
