Should have been automatically ejected for making a mistake, amirite?
IMO he's going to be a top tier pitcher, but wont be hitting much at all in 2-3 years. Its just too hard to maintain a swing at the same time as youre keeping your pitching mechanics in tune. Since he has the better potential as a pitcher, he'll focus on that exclusively.
If he wanted to hit he should've signed with an NL team. Then he could at least play the Bumgarner role as s full time pitcher and rake the days he's pitching. If he has to abandon playing DH at some point to focus on pitching, he'll get stuck not being able to hit at all.
No idea what you are saying in here. So you can only keep your pitching and hitting mechanics if you are doing them on the same day? Lol. Scioscia is resting him day before and after he pitches.
If anything, the only problem with this DH and then pitching is that its really tough to get into rhythm not seeing pitches every day...Which makes an NL pitcher hitting once every 5 days extremely difficult.
And here is how he has answered that question: "As for how he managed to develop timing at the plate without hitting in games, Ohtani said, "The games in which I pitch are part of my sense of rhythm. It's not something I just started." "
Which begs the question regarding your post: did you just make all that s**t up?

Maybe the hype was justified.

lol Garce so desperately hates me that he digs up old posts from 4 years ago where someone is talking crap to me just to take their side. The fact that you had me blocked in the first place is so pathetic.
I already addressed this with DC the other day and defended my opinion from 2018. If you hadn't had me blocked like a weenie you would've seen that.
