Yep. Oh, instead just a 98 mph aspirin tablet. Somewhere Nolan Ryan’s looking at this game going, I like that. This rushes a fast ball with some movement at 98 for Seamer. Boy, that’s some movement. 0 and8 with a 7.92 earned run average as Otani lifts a high drive to right field. Santandere back watching and it’s gone.

Number 45 time Mike Trout second all time on the Halo lists for home runs. So a rocket single and a mammoth home run. Show Otani. You talk about the sound off the bat. That’s just a sharp crisp 116 miles per hour exit velocity off the bat for Show. Loving seeing that smile. Otani 98 dials it up and down goes Seager Crawford at first. Check swing. Wow, that’s a good pitch, too. He went and he went. That’s three strikeouts. One, two pitch. Got him. Show Otani. Punch out number 150 on the season for Showtime.

Swing and a miss. Off to a good start there. One down and the first strike out. And here’s the two- two. Oh, another one. The sweeper gets Melendez. Two down. Backto back Ks. He’s just got it all working. He’s He’s got it all working. He strikes out the side. Oh, the forest is mighty strong with Showi Otani. Not one, not two, but three Ks. Oh, another strike out to end the inning. His fourth of the night. One, two, did he? Yes, he went on that one. Yes, he did. Another strike out for Otani. One down. See that too often for Bobby Wood Jr. He was committed to trying to catch up. You remember that 99 mph fast and this started well off the plate to begin with. That was a little harder sweeper. Yeah. Swing and a miss. Look how he tried to stay back. He saw the speed of the pitch. Normally if you’re looking in that pitch right there, you have a shot. Foul. Got him with the paint on the four seamer at 98. Two down. Back to back the 3-2. That’s a good pitch. Oh, got him. Little late on that call from Kuzzy, but that is another strike out. Pretty lethal. The 2-2. Wow. Another one. Another strike out for Otani. And the 3-2. He strikes out six in a row. Seven scoreless 11 strikeouts. Show Otani Army here in St. Louis in full stride as Shi takes the mound here. Swing and a miss. Otani strikes out his new best bud. Nukear goes down for the first down. He chases that for strike three. It was a 98 mph fast ball that ran away. You know, Matt Moore. Yeah, there you go. That swinging miss. Was not real happy with him. After all that, he strikes him out. Three strikeouts, 3-2 pitch. It’s the fast ball and it’s in there. Strike three called. It was 99. And that’s where he was looking for the sweeper. There’s a swing and a miss for strike three. 99 upstairs. Donovan punches out swinging and a miss. Sedman strikes out and Shi Otani after an air and two wild pitches strikes out three in a row. Aar strikes out. That is seven strikeouts for Shi Otani and four in a row. That’s a good pitch. There’s strike three called. It is the eighth strikeout for Shi Otani. 0 and two and Berles strikes out. That’s number nine for Show. Now that one right there had some serious downward tilt. some serious late spin to it. The rear back gets 100 on that fast ball. Lars Nbar strikes out to start the fifth. That is the 11th punch out for Shi Otani tonight. And now Paul Goldmid strikes out. Another fast ball he struck out. Goldmid who was a very good fast ball. Check swing and it’s strike three for the 13th strikeout tonight. Show Otani has tied his careerh high. Show Otani who enjoyed the weekend. Seven for 13. Two homers, four runs driven in. Oh, Tonnie might have just gotten him. You bet. Into the top tank to tie it. Showtime in Arlington tonight. 459 ft. And it got out in a hurry. What a swing. He knew it. Look at the leverage in that swing. as the Angels and Rangers have been locked up in a five5 tie ever since Show Otani’s homer in the seventh. Into the opposite field and well hit and gone. First pitch two-run homer for Show Otani. His second multi-H homer game of the year. He never stops. Amazing first pitch. What a swing he put on this ball to take it out the other way. His first career extra inning home run. Show Otani on the mound facing the Dodgers. Pitching here at Angel Stadium. First time that he has faced the Dodgers as a pitcher in his big league career. Swing and a miss. The major league home run leader just struck out one of the best hitters in baseball. That’s still amazing every time you say that one, Wayne. Incredible. 24 home runs at the plate. Picks up his 106th strikeout. Swing and a miss. Show blows the fast ball by Will Smith. It’s backto- back strikeouts to end a one, two, three. Top of the first. Swing and a miss. Fast ball 99 over the outside corner. No chance even for a very good hitter like JD Martinez. Vargas swings through the fast ball. Shows had a good heater early on. He struck out four in the first two innings. That’s in there. Strike three called Amed looked like he had nothing going on right there. Swing and a miss. Michael Bush gets blown away with a 100. That was all about the Benjamin on that one. Smith on a check swing went around. Strike three and Otani bounces back with his seventh strikeout tonight. Swinging a miss. There’s the sweeper. Vargas chased. Otani’s eight strikeout ends the top of the fourth. There’s strike three call. David Peralta goes down looking. He’s the ninth strikeout victim for Shi tonight. Didn’t like that call. Show looking for strikeout number 10. And there it is to JD Martinez. 10 strikeouts for Shi. That was a splitter. Just drops enough and runs off the inside part of the plate after some tough fast balls. You see the grip swing and a miss. There’s a dozen strikeouts for Shi Otani and another on a four seam fast ball. That one 99 mph for Shi. Boy, he is mixing and matching. Bets with a fly ball. Shallow left. Taylor Ward comes in. Velasquez is out being called off. And Ward has it to end the inning for Show Otani. Seven innings, 12 strikeouts, one run. A masterful performance from Shi tonight. Shi Otani leads off the bottom of the sixth inning. There’s a drive. Shi Otani gets the Angels on the board with his 30th home run. This ball went 4 93 ft. That’s it. And I’ve been on the mound where it’s like, oh, what have I done? And do you see Mike Trout look back into the dugout like, are you kidding me? That might be one of the longest home runs in the history of this ballpark. Place open in the mid60s. Show at the plate. 34 home runs. That’s as many as he hit last year. There’s a fly ball left center field. Did he get enough? He flips the bat. Berser the wall. It’s gone. It’s tied. Shi Otani. His 35th home run. And it’s three to three. There is no one like him. Show. No moment. Pig it up. Show goes yard. Tie it up. Wow. His third hit tonight. A game tying two-run homer. And a great back flip, too, by the way. That was epic. Last time out for Show Otani was a winner on Friday at home against the Pirates. A night in which he struck out nine, walked only one. It was his eighth winner of the year. And the one-two home from Otani. Comes at him with another fast ball swung on and missed for out number two. You think show was watching our pregame show in our pregame head. One-two pitch. He struck him out. Six in a row retired by Otani to start the afternoon. The next onetwo try to Boo. Got him. First time he got him out. Poo was three for three against Shoe. Gets him want to punch out a 99 mph fast upstairs. But show’s come right at the Tigers here this afternoon in front of Hos. One and two. Got him. Sit down, please. had a swing and a miss here for out number two. By the way, that was a nasty split from Show. And you’re right. I mean, you you think you pitched in the big leagues for 16 years. No. 02 to Carpenter. It’s a fast ball that’s lined out to center field. The Tigers first hit, their first base runner of the afternoon. 02 to Carpenter. A wave and a miss. Strikeout number seven for Otani this afternoon. Full count pitch. got him swinging. Eight for Otani this afternoon. This would be the first complete game shut out. And there it is. Show Otani goes all nine. And there it is. The chance to shake Chad Wallock’s hand. First career complete game shut out for the Unicorn. Still two balls and two strikes to Otani. Some clapping for Shi who goes to the opposite field. Get going. Yeah, his major league leading 37 oppo shot. And remember, he threw a shut out in game one of this double header. And then he hits an opposite field rocket. So he’s got a couple pitches inside so far. That was a curveball. Had a fast ball. Oh. Oh, he got another one. Get going. Otani has done it again. Maria complete game shutout check. Two homers in the night cap. Shack. That was a rocket out. Incredible showhead. His 39th homer last Friday in Toronto. He’s been on base a ridiculous amount of time. But he drives this one to right field. Back to watch it go. Hands on. This is 40. There truly is no words to describe this man. Show Otani. A walk stolen base and then a rocket home run. Number four the season. He left the game after four innings with cramping in his hand and fingers and then he hits a rocket out for a home run. Not gone deep in this series, but he has certainly done well in this ballpark this year. He’s hit over 400. There’s a highf fly ball left center field. Struck pretty well. Tiveres back at the wall and is gone. Shi Otani has reached number 42 and the hair flies around the bases with Shi as he gives the Angels a one- nothing lead. A 96 mph fast for show number 42. Seigoy Otani with Brenfro at third. Renifo at second. Shannowell at first. The one to show. Swing and a drive out to right field. That one’s got a chance and it’s gone. Grand slam show. Oh, what a swing for Show and he acknowledged Shaell what he did. worked that patience, worked the walk and gave him a chance with the bases loaded for Show. 43rd home run, giving him now 89 RBI’s for Show. Power grand slam lines a base hit to right field. His first hit as a Dodger comes against U Darbish off the end of the bat into left center field that gets the job done. Lux bolting home and Otani has followed Muki Best with an RBI single of his own. This one not hit hard, but boy does it find some outfield turf. Just a nightmare of an inning for the Padres’s. Four for the Dodgers here in the eighth. Otani with his first run batted in as a Dodger. 3-1 Shi Otani first Dodger home run. Okay, you can sign it. It’s a signature. Worth the wait. And it got out in the blink of an eye. Somebody just got really rich out there catching that. There was somebody at the plate that was already very rich. Yeah, that’s true. Show Otani’s first home run as a Dodger. Travels 430 ft. Smashes this ball. Forget about it. Marte doesn’t even move. It’s gone. Two to nothing LA. The 176th of Otani’s career. He stands alone for Japanese born sluggers. Passing Hideki Matsui. Yeah, everyone that he hits is significant cuz he’s the one that hit it, but some of them carry a little bit of extra sparkle. Throws one to center field. Harris turns and watches this ball fly. for 11 and more and more by the day. Show Otani with his ninth home run. Two to nothing Dodgers. Two batters into the game as Otani goes deep for the second day in a row on 22. Otani pokes one the other way. Pass the diving Riley. They had him pulled around and he served it the other way and he’s two for two. One, two from Freed and Otani cracks his bed on a flare to center field for his third hit. AJ Mener out of the Braves bullpen comes home to Otani. Smashes a drive center field. So Otani we 464 ft home run. The fourth hit of the day for the other worldly one of a kind Otani. Here it comes. Otani with a base hit. Hayward comes in to score. A showstopper and game ender. Show Otani. His first walk-off hit in four seasons. His first walk-off hit as a Dodger. The band stayed and Show delivered. This wasn’t anything rocket. No doubter. Show comes through. The knee kick. 2-1. Fly ball left center field. Otani obliterated. That man is just built different. Halfway up the pavilion in left center and the Dodgers lead one- nothing. 200. He got a slider. 2-1. They go back to the sinking fast ball and show says no. 451 ft on his 18th home run of the year. Now he turns on the first pitch of the sixth inning. Otan’s done it again. second of the game, 19th of the season, doubling the Dodger lead. The one back in the third inning was his second longest one of the year. This might have been the most majestic one as far as that launch angle. That was way up in the sky before it landed. Oh my. What 15 17 rows up 151 on number one. That one 400. These guys playing a lot of their careers in the American League. There’s a curve that’s sent in the air to right field. Fam to the track to the wall. A leaping fry, but it’s gone. Jo Otani leads off the game with a home run. Otani with his 24th home run, his 59th RBI, and he ties an all-time Dodger record with RBI’s in nine straight games. Roy Campanella in 1955 did it. And now Shi Otani has joined him on that list. There’s a smash right center field. Forget about it. The marvelous one. Shi Otani has done it again. Jaw-dropping, awe inspiring night after night. Show Otani’s 25th. Head shaking. I’m just shaking my head back and forth like not again. New Dodger record. 10 consecutive games of the run. Batted in. Tying run at first. Go ahead run at the plate. Power against power. He swings. He hammers one. A majestic drive. How far will it go? Dodgers take the lead. Show Otani’s National League leading 27th home run of the year. His 10th in his last 14 games. And this one comes in a big spot. Flipping this game upside down. He is a video game. He is MLB the show. And MLB doesn’t stand for Major League Baseball. It stands for the most lethal batter, the show. And that’s who he is. Here’s Otani. Walked his first time. Hits a spar way back to right field. Sodto doesn’t even move. Otani has homered in the All-Star game. 28 so far in the regular season. And in his second at bat in the All-Star game, he launches a no doubt three-run home run. Well, he is so strong, so tall, and has leverage with that bat in the zone. I believe he gets a split in the middle of the plate and didn’t miss it. He hasn’t missed many with the Dodgers. Otani right field. Forget about it. A massive shot. Wow. 473 ft for show Otani. The Dodgers fifth home run of the night. That was a shot. He almost hit it out of here. Ridiculous. Did that go over the roof? Is that on top of the roof? That reaction right there, that’s some kind of special around. If they have a left-handed opener on the roster, probably going to get used against the Dodgers. Tough play right here. Not in time. The speed of Otani gets him an infield hit. Long strike out. There goes Otani. And he’s going to steal it. Number 40 for Shi. And so he’s one swing away at this point from history. Now we talk about it. He’ll go whole game and see one good pitch to hit. Sometimes none. But the pressure on here, there’s nowhere to put him. You’ve got to come after him. First pitch, fly ball right center field. Siri’s going back. He’s at the track. He’s at the wall. 4040 walkoff. Grand slam. No way. What a moment. History. The sixth member of the 4040 club makes the most dramatic entry into the club you could imagine with a walk-off grand slam. Tie run at first. Go ahead run at the plate. Otani reaches out, hooks a ball. He’s so strong it’s still deep to the corner and it’s gone. Like only So can night after night. It’s 41. How in the world did he get that ball out of here? He’s show Otani. I mean, we’ve seen him hit some of the most prestigious home runs. The last two home runs have been as important as any. And they made it each by a couple of feet. Needs to be special for those guys. Otani smokes this ball to right center field off the wall. Throw from Conine is late and it’s a screamer of a double to start this ball game. There they go. throw to third. Beats him, but he got his foot in. The 50th for Otani. The accuracy of the slide. In all of his bags, he has a tendency to read the throw. Understand that the toughest part to tag is the back outside corner. And he usually gets it with just his toe and stays on. That’s a base hit to right field. Otani’s two for two. Muny’s headed for the plate. Conine’s throws cut off. He’s got two hits. He’s got a stolen base. He’s got a run scored. He’s got a run batted in. And this game’s been going for like 20 minutes. To him about 50/50. How about 51 into second with a stolen base. His second of the game already. Slashes his third hit of the game into the left center field gap. Looks in to score. Here comes Pahz. Otani heading for third. Relay is in time. Just shy of finding himself a home run shy of the cycle after three innings. He’ll settle for his third hit in three innings. Otani sends one in the air deep right field. He’s in a world of his own in 135 years of Dodger baseball. Show Otani his 49 home runs matching Sha Green for the most in a single season and he’s one shy of the first 5050 campaign in baseball history. On a one-two Otani sends one in the air the other way. Back it goes gone. One of a kind player, one of a kind season. Shi Otani starts the 5050 club. Smiling. We all are watching this guy. Oh my gosh. Noi, the greatest day in baseball history. This is not real life. He is not human. So grounded out to short. Still has 20 hits his last 30 abs. 10 hits, his last 11 with runners in scoring position. Ground ball right side into right field. 11 for 12 with runners in scoring position. You cannot slow him down. You cannot contain him. 4-1 Dodgers. I mean, he is on quite a run right now as far as getting base hits with runners in scoring position. You remember the beginning of the year, it just it wasn’t that easy. The hitting with runners in scoring position. I mean, it it es and flows through the course of a season. He’s on the run. Stallings with the throw. Otani with the bag. Taylor comes home and Otani takes third as the throw skipped into center field. Stolen base number 57, the most ever by a Japanese-born player in a single season, breaking a tie with his hero, Ichido. I mean, you need a calculator to think of all the uh the numbers that Otani has amassed. Ripped to right, second hit of the game. And Barnes will stop at second and Otani is two for three. And that ball was smashed. He is keeping his hopes of winning the triple crown alive. Let him fly. Heads up in the upper deck. Shay’s on his way. That’s number 54 for Otani. A threerun Titanic shot. I mean, I I’m not even sure. So, I’m going to marvel at the fact that he hit a three-run home run. The guy is another planet. Yes, he’s probably the greatest all-around baseball player to ever walk.
