6:07 Ohtani’s Lineup Position
Kudos to My man Jeff ! ! ! ->-> … for holding down the ship today > even with a weak voice ! The show was great and informative anyway ! ! ! Go Dodgers ! Jeff Sni – Der ! Go Dodgers ! Jeff Sni – Der !
Why people make things up? Ohtani NEVER said anything about not wanting to leading off while pitching
If u want mookie leading off just say that instead
When he pitching at away, #9. Otherwise #1.
Next year don’t expect Ohtani to steal a base, as he needs to concentrate on pitching.
Kim does NOT fit.
The Korean player does not fit.
I hate when Eric Karros is on the games
Jessica Mendoza.. I HATE the games she announces. I can not stand her. Not bc its a woman but bc of the stuff she says and that she seems to just be there and interrupts all the time. She is almost as annoying as the A’s new head broadcaster.
No, via the analytics, the #1 spot in the lineup is the most valuable spot in the lineup and your best hitter SHOULD be there and to get them as many bats as possible.. anyone arguing otherwise is stuck in the old ways of Ohtani should be a 3/4 hitter bc hes a slugger. But ohtani hits for avg, power, and gets on base. hes DIFFERENT.
