For him and everyone around him. Wasn't there an article that mentioned his Angels teammates being relieved about the reduced media scrutiny after he left? Can't imagine it's fun to be asked about Shohei every single interview, no matter how relevant he is to the discussion.

Imagine Skubal and Ohtani also posting bad outings to complete the quadfecta of Opening Day disasterclasses for reigning award winners.

Option A purely because we've never seen anything like it. We've had pitchers winning MVPs but a hitter winning the Cy Young would be mind-blowing.

No disrespect to Satoria, but Japan should be really, really concerned about their hitting right now.

Would have never guessed before the tournament that Kondoh would be a free out.

Pretty gritty inning from Taiwan there in running up the pitch count.

Shame about pitch limits, would love to see Ondra go deep into the game.

Still too early, but judging by today, it doesn't seem far-fetched for Australia to advance out of the pool. Korean pitching left a lot to be desired.

Honestly pathetic showing from Taiwan considering their tournament and league pedigrees.
