Shohei Ohtani didn’t want to stop pitching and wanted to finish the 7th inning of his historic game and was frustrated at Dave Roberts for pulling him out

1. Ohtani might have pulled a mad max on Roberts if the bullpen blowed it. Good thing Vesia delivered.

2. welcome to r/shohei

3. Scherzer and Ohtani’s version of “frustrated” are 2 very different things.

   One is a slight grimace and respectful nod, the other — could start World War III

5. 

6. Tarik Skubal wanted to stop pitching

7. “冗談でしょ!”

8. He was already over 100 pitches

9. Roberts is a moron when it comes to managing pitching. He’s pretty much an idiot otherwise.

10. According to reports, he was so pissed he went yard again after this

11. Next time ohtani should channel his inner mad max

    

12. Ohtani probably lost on his O/U IP 

13. Trouble maker. Dodgers probably should get rid of him but who’s crazy enough to take on that contract?

14. He should demand a trade. Plz

15. Sounds like a diva. Dodgers should shop him. they dont need that headache

16. I usually criticize Dave but that was the right move, the fact Vesia got out of that without giving up a run and keeping the donut on Ohtani’s statline was a miracle

17. Lol. Awful take

18. Dodgers in disarray. Ohtani regrets picking dodgers over blue jays.

    /s

19. No real Porsche for dirty Dave

20. So he showed him, just hit another HR to print he could have finished the 7th

21. he should have studied Scherzer

22. He didn’t scream at his coach enough. 

23. The cracks are beginning to show… the Dodgers collapse is imminent…

24. Ohtani with that “ah shiiiit” look lmao

25. It was the right call

26. Gotta give Dave the crazy eyes Shohei

27. Disgusting! They should punish him by sending him to some non-contending team. Somewhere in a city thats long past its prime as an added insult. Just a real random place. Maybe in the middle of the country to keep him away from any nice beach distractions? Maybe. Anyone know where?

28. Let my boy play!

29. To us, it was a historic performance but to him it was a lame performance because he couldn’t finish the inning.

30. Smart decision though. He was over 100 pitches and starting to lose command a little bit, better to preserve his arm

31. Time to demand a trade to the Nats as player-manager.

32. He wanted to settle the debate for ages

33. Too respectful of a guy to do that to his coach

34. It worked out well. Vesia bailed him out to keep Ohtani at 0 ER.

35. Roberts made the right call, as usual.

36. Kevin Brown would never …

37. Cocaine bear is the best when there’s a mess to clean up. If there’s no mess he sucks.

38. Winners want the ball

    

39. Ohtani had the over on 18.5 outs /s
