I don’t care if you love or hate the Dodgers, you better watch this Ohtani guy every chance you get.
I’ve been saying it for a while, he’s special and I have no doubt that he’ll one day be mentioned with the likes of Ruth, Mantle, Mays and Aaron!

I was not watching because I don’t care about either team. Hard for me to get invested whenever the Braves aren’t in it. I can always watch a condensed game for about 10 minutes or less on YouTube.

I love baseball, just despise super teams. The Dodgers are the Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant. They don’t really need Ohtani but since they do, the deck is stacked. That’s how I will always feel about. Enjoy your 5 straight titles because salary caps are coming and traditional dynasties will never happen again after this.

I’ll believe it whenever I see it. Players want to play for the best teams AND get paid. Ohtani is still getting paid, just stretched out. Those ridiculous deferred payment plans are going to be gone too. You sign for 10 years, that means you should be paid within that 10 years, not stretched out to 20 years.

I wouldn't bet on a Salary Cap. Like I've said a million times, these players aren't playing 162 games a season for chump change...but keep hope alive...

NBA and NFL contracts are pretty high dollar amounts. They aren’t playing for chump change. Theoretically a MLB team could sign a player for $2B if they wanted to. That’s fawking crazy and you know it.

Paying baseball players chump change in first 6 or 7 years of service is BS. Skubal made just over $10 million this season. When guy hits free agency he should get $35 million a year and deserve every penny. The stars need to be paid ...

But I'm not worrying about this salary cap **** til end of next season.....# pay these guys

Dave Roberts is a damn fool if he thinks he has anything to do with the Dodgers success. Before Ohtani and Freeman showed up he was just an annual choke artist.

Whatever dude, you just like to piss and moan. Hater going hate, instead of trolling you just be focused on who the next Braves manager will be..

I hate that you missed that performance.
Raleigh also had himself a great game behind the plate and hit an absolute shot, that almost hit the top of the dome and cleared the wall by maybe five feet.
