[u/Abyss333333]

Dude has hit the ball so hard this series only for this to be his first hit lmao

[u/Aggressive_Moose_528 → u/Abyss333333]

He would’ve had like 4 homers this series if it was played in Sacramento or something

[u/EimeeHuh → u/Abyss333333]

what fucked up launch angles does to a mf

[u/Turk3YbAstEr → u/EimeeHuh]

He heard they were called moonshots, so he started aiming them at the actual moon

[u/YakPineapple → u/Turk3YbAstEr]

The moon’s been sweatin lately

[u/nolander → u/EimeeHuh]

Well and hitting it to near dead CF in Petco park

[u/teag2]

This is why Yuki only ever comes in if we have a 5+ run lead or a 5+ run deficit.

Also this was the first hit by either team's leadoff hitter of the whole series

[u/ImANewRedditor → u/teag2]

The hell?

[u/teag2 → u/ImANewRedditor]

Tatis was 0-7 with 5 walks. Ohtani was 0-10 with 2 walks before hitting this homer

[u/biggoldgoblin → u/teag2]

Ohtani was 0 for WHAT?

[u/2Bid → u/biggoldgoblin]

Tbf he had a 116 mph hit of the bat that went straight to Tatis, and hit a couple of balls that got caught just before the wall the first 2 games. Got a bit unlucky this series

[u/kmhuey → u/biggoldgoblin]

Its been bad since July...

[u/kakugeseven → u/kmhuey]

He was really good in August. It's only this series that he didn't have a hit.

[u/NiGhTHaWk830 → u/kmhuey]

august before today's game:

.347/.478/.681, 212 wRC+, 6HR in 90 PA

[u/newtimesawait → u/laramgers88]

I was about to say, why would he do this to his fellow countrymen??

[u/the2belo → u/laramgers88]

Someone was yelling "YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL" the entire game, but realistically he should be charged with murder of baseballs

[u/Pies_Wide_Shut]

underrated thing about him is how his home runs seem to have a distinct sound

[u/spookylampshade → u/Pies_Wide_Shut]

Yah it sounds like a crack of lightening 😦

[u/DietrichDoesDamage]

What a neat swing on that

[u/ExcellentT18]

This seems like the game that gets the Dodgers back on track

[u/nsgarcia10 → u/ExcellentT18]

there’s at least 3 games a week where the offense explodes and you think maybe they’re back just to struggle the next day

[u/ayumi_doll → u/nsgarcia10]

Had a look at my bullet journal entries the other day and it's literally "This team is so inconsistent" → "They were due for a breakout game" → "This team is so inconsistent" rinse repeat.

[u/markjay6 → u/nsgarcia10]

Getting two relief pitchers back today, Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates, could make a big difference.

[u/stuckontwice → u/markjay6]

I remember when I was loathing Tanner and Kirby. Tbh Tanner is great when he's not being overused. Hopefully this IL stint gets him back to that 1 month stretch in June.

[u/gmny22 → u/ExcellentT18]

Im hopeful with some bullpen arms coming back, Mookie turning it around and Freddie getting hot it could be the time they finally lock in but it’s just been such an inconsistent year so far

[u/lentilseason → u/gmny22]

Need Max Muncy back as well and team is looking good going into the playoffs

[u/PTRBoyz → u/gmny22]

Dodgers still scare me in October but yall look beatable for once 

[u/lentilseason → u/PTRBoyz]

I think every team is beatable in October especially with our bullpen but if the clutch players do their thing it’s over! I guess you could say that about every team

[u/DalekEvan → u/ExcellentT18]

I’ve said that so many times these last two months

[u/st1r → u/ExcellentT18]

Feels like we have one of those every week and then go right back to scoring 1-2 runs a game lol

[u/someone2795 → u/ExcellentT18]

lol

[u/Run-Florest-Run → u/ExcellentT18]

Doubt it

[u/ImaManCheetahh → u/Run-Florest-Run]

hey, only we’re allowed to say that

[u/Run-Florest-Run → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Max Muncy is gonna come back only for Freeland to get sent down so Conforto can cement his rightful place as the every day LF

[u/donald-duck23]

Hey what’s up with all these Dodger fans dressed in Padres gear leaving early?

[u/PikaGaijin → u/donald-duck23]

Maybe they were hoarse from all of the "Freddy" cheers?

[u/usetheforce_gaming → u/donald-duck23]

Not beating the Dodger Stadium South allegations

[u/Myshkin1981]

I like this

[u/PTRBoyz]

What a swing. This dude is incredible. 

[u/DaBusDriva2]

And hit a Padres fan with the "you like that".

[u/HeftyAd2780 → u/DaBusDriva2]

[u/GTmatsuura]

shohei is shooting for exactly 1000 ops lmao

[u/Mr_Cornwall]

This brings me happiness.

[u/Jonjon428]

Someone stop this man!

[u/Head_Notice]

Ohtani looking at the 50 club again this year

[u/markjay6 → u/Head_Notice]

Going after the dodgers HR record that he set last year (54)

[u/pilldickle2048]

God I need his member in my mouth

[u/Extension-Click-8271]

LOUD IN THERE

[u/SpicyP43905]

Bad sportsmanship.

You have a sizeable lead, yje game is clearly over.

You take the strike.

[u/AthleticAlarm32 → u/SpicyP43905]

Damn you're getting nuked by the people who think you're being serious

...you're jokingly referencing what people said about Tatis' grand slam a few years back, right?

[u/SpicyP43905 → u/AthleticAlarm32]

No. Outani is depicted as some reputable guy who’s supposed to be wholesome, and he artful, and puppy-like!

But it enrages me! And I do mean utterly infuriates me when people continue to feel for that stupid ploy, in spite of the overwhelming evidence against it!

From the gambling incidence(as well as gis inability to admit fault vut rather redirect it all to his translator and ruin an innocent man’s life!), to the rookie hazings, to this!

It is so apparent that that persona is an act!

It is not only a moral weong to continue to buy into it.

It is a stupidity so wretched, I dare to proclaim it a sacrilege against the human mind!

Awful!

[u/TheSanDiegoChimkin]

Dude was a big fat dud this whole series. Finally hangs a hr in throwaway time, who gives a shit 🥱

100% Series L and a star whose only hit comes in garbage time against a #7 reliever.

[u/Infinite-Ad2614]

Scripted for the king of MLB and god of baseball

[u/Midnitemass]

truly one of the GOATS of low-leverage situations

[u/penguinopph → u/Midnitemass]

truly one of the GOATS of low-leverage situations

Ohtani is pretty great in all leverage situations.

	AVG	OBP	SLG	OPS	wRC+
Low Leverage	.280	.370	.585	.955	157
Medium Leverage	.277	.364	.569	.933	150
High Leverage	.311	.441	.608	1.049	167
