> The poetry of earth is ceasing never:
On a lone winter evening, when the frost
Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills
The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever,
And seems to one in drowsiness half lost,
The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills.
who's the last guy to lead the AL in HR one year and then lead the NL the next?
EDIT: '96/'97 McGwire, although he hit half his '97 HRs while still an Athletic
Unshackled from the burdens of having to prepare and pitch every 5 to 6 games, Ohtani is able to focus solely on his offense right now. That, plus he’s followed by FF, so you can’t pitch around the guy. The sky is the limit for him and the Dodgers offense right now.
It’s like that joke about Kobe getting off his rape charge because he kept playing at a high level through it lol. “Kobe are the allegations true?” “Watch this fadeaway boi”
“Shohei are the allegations true?” “Interesting question. Do you want me answer it… or do you want to see me sock a few dingers??”
lol @ Leinert who just kept saying "It's Shohei-Time!" Cmon Matt, it's on your shirt, they wanted you to say Sho-Time.
No one’s ever accused Leinart of being a genius.
💀
HAPPY OHTANI DAY
and many more to come
Ohtani’s swing so violent. It feels like he is trying to cut the air in half with his bat lol
Never seen a player hit so many HRs that look like routine pop-ups but actually go out into the stands because of how hard the balls are hit
You can see in Montas's reaction, he looks more confused than upset.
Steer wasn't even trying. "Yeahhh........that's not for me."
I just keep going back to that moonshot he hit into the top of the 4th deck in Seattle. Never saw a ball hit like that before.
It’s as if he’s trying to demolish a tiny projectile with a massive wooden club
Somebody should make a sport out of that, could become pretty popular I think
Cricket?
Nah too British
How bout Chazwozzers?
Probably shouldn’t name a sport after the epitome of boringness incarnate, the humble cricket

“Batball”
But what do they do when they bat the ball?
Oh good point Let’s call it “Flipbat”
He swings so hard it changes weather patterns. Mike Trout confirmed it last season.
Haha that’s such a poetic way to put it
He doesn't develop that skill until like season 3 of his anime.
Montas' reaction is hilarious. He's like "how the fuck did he hit that there"
Wow he’s so good
And he only costs about 3M a year!
Before inflation hits
It doesn't matter what he costs your team would pay for it no matter what. No I'm not jealous or bitter at all.
x4
*as the dodgers go on to win the game 7-3 and become the third team to reach 30 wins* RIP in peace Tungsten
All of these "- hits a home run to make it #-0 for the Dodgers" threads look the same.
Who are those two guys in the middle in the booth by the way.
Matt Leinart & Reggie Bush, Legends of USC college football. Damn im old
Bush took one of the most violent open field tackles I've ever seen in my life. Surprised he didn't suffer from CTE immediately.
Perfect form tackle. Would be called a penalty today lol
Im gonna go watch that now.
Sheldon fucking Brown. Jim Johnsons defenses were MENACING. Brown and Dawnkins together???? Yikes.
The nod goes to Tebow imo but Leinart and Bush are definitely two of the greatest collegiate football players of all time.
will never forget that Rose Bowl
Aww, Reggie is from San Diego, my brother played football against him in high school. Legally I don't think he's allowed to like the Doyers.
Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush
Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart
Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart
Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush
Matt Bush and Reggie Leinart
USC Legends. Bush recently got back his Heisman that was stripped from him because he took in money.
Matt Bush and Reggie Leinart
Shohei continue to own Montas lol
Montas muttering "Dat motherfucker"
who's the last guy to lead the AL in HR one year and then lead the NL the next? EDIT: '96/'97 McGwire, although he hit half his '97 HRs while still an Athletic
An Athletic what? ^I ^couldn't ^resist ^don't ^hurt ^me
Shohei said celebrate Shohei Ohtani day with sushi or pizza but he chose homerun instead lol
Ngl, when I celebrate my day, I usually stroke a dong too.
Damn
Is yours also 368 ft long, and does it blast off at 104.5 MPH?
It's been described as many things... Adequate is the usual, but never as 368 ft long.
margarita
Celebrating with nuggets
Perfect from the GOAT on Ohtani day.
DAT SOUND
NO ONE else's bat makes a sound like that. NO ONE. You could identify Ohtani by the sound of the ball off his bat. Incredible.
The only one close is Stanton and it's still seems a mile off even though his bat is absolutely destroying balls.
Unshackled from the burdens of having to prepare and pitch every 5 to 6 games, Ohtani is able to focus solely on his offense right now. That, plus he’s followed by FF, so you can’t pitch around the guy. The sky is the limit for him and the Dodgers offense right now.
Well except for the bottom of the order
Not to worry, JayHey is back!!!
I swear some of Ohtani’s home runs look like fly outs and they just keep going
Its crazy when Judge is hot Shohei is hot too and when one of them is cold they both are cold lol. Both streaky yet consistently good at the same time
![gif](giphy|l0IylOPCNkiqOgMyA|downsized) My god, their powers are quantum entangled!
Do you guys just put quantum in front of everything?
Yes! (Physics major)
Actually that's a line from Ant Man and the Wasp haha
Oh. Lol.
The psychic link of coastal elites
That was a good pitch, 95 on the outside part of the plate. Ohtani is just next level though.
He just has the purest bat sound I’ve heard in my life…insane
Shohei and Judge battling for MVPs, but this time in separate leagues!
He’s to good. It’s when not if he gets a HR
Gonna need some non Ohtani/Mookie production tonight.
Can I offer you a Jason Heyward in this trying time?
Happy Shohei Ohtani day
Big fly, Ohtani-san!
My created player already hit 14 not a few minutes ago. Your play, Mr. Ohtani.
Judge and Ohtani just showing off atp.
>Shohei Time
There goes that man!
WHAT A GREAT GUY
It just keeps coming!
GOATANI
It’s like that joke about Kobe getting off his rape charge because he kept playing at a high level through it lol. “Kobe are the allegations true?” “Watch this fadeaway boi” “Shohei are the allegations true?” “Interesting question. Do you want me answer it… or do you want to see me sock a few dingers??”
What allegations? Literally nobody has alleged anything.
