10 Ks. 3 HRs. One of the longest home runs in the history of Dodger stadium. This could be the greatest game anyone has ever played. Ever.

He sends the Dodgers back to the World Series. That’s pretty amazing stuff.

  2. It is the greatest athletic performance of all time.

    Imagine if Reggie also struck out 10.

    Somebody get Ja Rule on the phone so I can make sense of all this.

  8. one of the greatest games in the history of competitive sports

    hes doing the impossible

  9. Fuck, I just want to hate the dodgers. But I’m in awe. This is the purest baseball I’ve ever seen.

  10. No one has ever even hit a HR while also throwing 10 strikeouts in a regular season, much less the playoffs. Much less two home runs. Also he hit 3 HRs. And one was the 3rd longest in Dodger history at 469ft.

    Ohtani doing this in October defines a two-way postseason performance. And he did it to clinch a LCS.

    History.

  13. Greatest single game individual performance of all time (modern at least, as there may be some ridiculous performances from before the game is what it is today).Anyone who says otherwise is just hater.

    Edit: I was thinking specifically baseball. But definitely up there for all sports

  14. Basically, Shohei Ohtani brought some friends to watch him beat the best team in the league by himself.

  17. Im curious what others think would be legit argument against this in all of sports. Not going to refute any of them, just curious for examples.

  23. I wanna hate him I really do…

    not bc he’s a dodger or Japanese or rich or w/e but bc he’s so damn good 

    But in the end that’s why I can’t hate him bc he’s is so damn good

  26. This is not the greatest game in MLB history. It’s the greatest game by a single player in any sport, ever.

  28. As someone relatively new to baseball, to me it’s like y’all are speaking Russian down here. 💀

  30. It’s the most Tungsten Arm O’Doyle shit I’ve ever seen. If the bullpen hadn’t given up that lone run, he would have tied the Brewers for the series with just what he did tonight while allowing *them* to do basically nothing. Doesn’t feel real.

  31. This rivals that time in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba “Spare Tire” Dixon…

  33. I just told my kids baseball is a team sport and one person can’t change everything by themselves… well I guess I’m wrong

  34. Quite the performance by Ohtani. Here are 2 other mind boggling performances:

    July 3, 1966 Braves Pitcher Tony Cloninger hits two grand slams and drives in nine runs, as the Braves rout the Giants at Candlestick Park, 17 – 3. He also pitched a complete game.

    On September 7, 1993, Mark Whiten hit four home runs and drove in 12 runs for the St. Louis Cardinals

  36. As close to a literal one-man show you’ll ever see in a baseball game. Just god-tier of a performance in a close out game for the pennant.

  38. I thought he already had it with that game last year against the Marlins during a 50/50 season when he went 6/6 with 4 R, 3 HR, 10 RBI and 2 SB

    Somehow he continues to supercede it

    We are privileged to watch this man fulfill a level of promise and potential that almost no one in any sport ever has, let alone the oldest major team sport there is

  41. 50 years from now I’m going to tell some kid about this game and he’s gonna be like ok, whatever you say old man.
