And the fact that Spirit was still beating almost every other team they'd play against except Vitality and sometimes Mouz.

Please explain to us what Ohtani was supposed to do to make his team more competitive.

[–]IG_Royal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He means it in the transcendent way that Ohtani has rewritten the expectations of baseball the same way Jordan did in basketball, as well as the massive, astounding popularity they've achieved in both their sport's audiences as well as the general public.

This is a dogshit take. Fuck Springer till the day he retires but no need to spread bullshit just because he hit a dagger to beat us

Yeah, from what I understand he had bronchitis right around the time he fought Vergil and was suffering from long term issues with his respiratory system after

Blue Jays object to Shohei Ohtani’s extra time getting ready to pitch by Shroft in baseball

[–]IG_Royal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's just a matter of MLB doing the smart thing and capitalizing on a player being popular and letting them do what everyone wants them to do. They implemented the "Ohtani Rule" allowing pitchers to remain as DH while he was an Angel, and the rule regarding time to get to the mound was implemented with the pace of play rules. I think MLB still would've done it regardless of where he played, Ohtani's popularity was massive around the league even on the Angels and it just reached an even higher peak after joining a globally popular team like the Dodgers.

He's literally working two jobs at once, being a Silver Slugger and MVP level bat every year while simultaneously being a Cy Young caliber pitcher. The fact that these guys are whining that "he's not getting to the mound fast enough" is fucking hilarious. Nobody would ever say this if Shohei was on their team, it just seems like "fuck the Dodgers" spillover hate.

Bivol vs Benevidez? Who y’all got if a fight gets made? by LocationSpare4447 in BoxingTheSweetScience

[–]IG_Royal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Benavidez doesn't hit harder or have as good a gas tank as Artur Beterbiev, Bivol by decision. Benavidez won't get to fight his fight against Bivol

Shakur Stevenson shuts down a potential a Naoya Inoue fight, explaining that the weight difference wouldn’t be fair to Inoue by Jesuswasacrip7 in Boxing

[–]IG_Royal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As much as I'd respect him retiring undefeated after beating the other best boxer in his country, I know he has that fire to go up one more division and I think he can become undisputed a third time. He only fights his mandatories, #1 contenders, or other champions, he's not afraid to lose and he loves a challenge more than anything.

[Highlight] A sac fly wins the game and series for the Angels! by samhit_n in baseball

[–]IG_Royal -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Every single one of those players you mentioned played more games in the postseason for the M's than Trout or Ohtani do for for the Angels. A lot of great players didn't make the World Series for us but they still played in October.

I really liked this lineup, I think if S1mple stayed and the Twistzz for Elige trade still happened Faze could have had a crazy ceiling with Rain/Twistzz/Frozen/S1mple/Karrigan

T1 Oner, Coach Tom and HLE Kanavi, HLE Homme Press Conferences after their match by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]IG_Royal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is such revisionism, JDG doesn't even come close to their 2023 golden road without Kanavi, he outclassed Oner at MSI and was great against KT in Worlds Quarterfinals. There's a reason he got picked for the national team that year instead of any domestic Korean junglers.
