Recall that he missed 48 games in 2018, 56 games in 2019, and 27 games last year. These were mostly from pitching injuries.

How many has he missed in 2024? 2.

Dodgers need to leave well enough alone and let him just DH. I know they're going to pitch him, but mark my words, this isn't a good idea.
My siblings and I are taking my mom to the game Thursday night for her 81st birthday. Got a box right behind the Dodger dug out. Looking forward to seeing him live for the first time. Probably going to be a meaningful game against the Padres. Go Dodgers!
That’s fantastic. How long ago did you buy these tickets?

Mama Jay and Mama Druff chatting about the paradise that was old school California before it went to shit would be a fantastic listen.

I heard this question asked on LA sports talk. “If you could finally end the World Series drought with Ohtani on the mound but he would likely never pitch again would you do it?”

That little ear worm has stuck with me for a week.

Meld into your answer that like the 2004 Red Sox (Dave Roberts steals second base and the resulting first championship in 86 years) Ohtani would likely cement his legend as the best MLB player of all time.

I’ve already copyrighted Shohei pulling a Jim Brown upon winning the woeful dodgers a ring. The script is in development

This might dwarf Cubs or Red Sox - which is another bar room argument I suppose

Regardless, you best prepare yourself cause he is picking up the Rosen bag in October.
