"If you have any issues with this guy, any complaints with this guy, it's on you! He's not the problem ... you are!" Jim Rome going in on Stephen A. Smith.

@Sanchito45 3 года назад

Agreed. I frankly like the fact he's foriegn and speaks primarily through an interpreter. For me, it adds to his mystique. He seems humble and magnanimous rather than boisterous and confrontational which, in my opinion, adds to his star power.

@wilkesmcdermid7906 3 года назад

@@Sanchito45 I think Shohei speaks English at a decent level. Mike Trout mentioned that Shoheis English isnt bad. Its likely he lacks confidence when it comes to speaking English to the public.

It's the difference between someone who actually does the things vs. someone who talks and yaps on about doing the things. Even when they can't do the things themselves. Actions SPEAK louder than words ❤️‍🔥 and It’s Sho-time !!🎆🎆

How bout them Angels getting rid of Pujols to give Walsh and Ohtani their 2 all-stars more playing time. FINALLY THE front office is 💡

Downside to that is pujols is still being paid 30 million this year by the angels. His contract will finally end after this season.

@lilwaynesworld0 3 года назад

@@cloudenvy_17 that is sunken cost in regards to Pujols so the bad news was when he signed the contact the fact the angels finally realized giving away at bats to more deserving younger players instead of the over the hill player who simply plays since he gets paid a boatload of cash letting go of Pujols enabled the angels to give enough at bats to two players who actually deserved it and earned all star births because of the additional at bats

@mateoo112 3 года назад

That's the big point I make when I talk to friends. He's not just "pitching" and "hitting". Throwing triple digit heat and hitting 500 ft bombs. I don't think people understand how damn hard that is to just do one of those things. You have to be blessed by God to do one of those things. A genetic lottery. And this guy does BOTH. That's special folks.

He truly is revitalizing baseball. When you got all the national media outlets, including NON-SPORTS groups like NPR talking about him, you know he's doing something incredibly special.

Gotta disagree with you on the whole HR Derby thing. That actually _is_ an event that a lot of people like tuning in to and is essentially no different from the NBA's slam dunk contest. It's basically just a fun event meant to be a complete service to the fans and, if possible, helps to generate more interest in the sport itself.
