00:00nine times in a single game on base every time i think there's nothing left for this guy to do

00:06he just one ups it every single time i just i don't think people understand how big that was

00:12yesterday and and the question becomes and it's really fascinating to think about it jack does

00:17that mean that that's it like tonight he comes up and he gets walked to start the game is that what

00:22we're doing here now i don't blame them by the way i i just i'm running out of stuff here i've

00:27ran out of stuff he just keeps one upping in every game so i wouldn't blame them either if toronto

00:33just tipped their cap and said you know what shohei take first base we're not going to deal with you

00:37moving forward i thought that's what seattle was going to do with vladimir guerrero jr at the end

00:42of the alcs and it almost backfired on them um because vladdy still delivered some big hits in

00:48game six and game seven so i don't think that's the worst strategy in the world just saying you

00:54know what take your base and you'll keep walking every single plate appearance you know it's funny

00:58because it's not like a narrative was stewing about shohei otani being a um playoff i guess

01:06unperformer like a guy that will taper off a little bit in the postseason but the postseason numbers

01:12were not that good until game four the nlcs when he had the greatest game we've ever seen and then

01:18yesterday he's on base nine times and it just feels like he was dialed into his approach like

01:23the doubles were 114 off the bat and 110 off the bat the homers were just shot out of a cannon

01:30it feels like this guy can do no wrong right now it's very similar to what we saw a week week and a

01:36half ago from vladimir guerrero jr so i i don't blame toronto for just you're waving the white flag

01:42against shohei otani yesterday for somebody else to beat you it took 18 innings for someone else to

01:49beat them so i feel like that makes a lot of sense but it's funny like this guy was elevating standards

01:56and then he was passing like just blowing by previously set standards and now he's like

02:02creating his own standards he's on side quests right now so blowing past the record for you know

02:09most times on base in a world series he tied a major league record by getting on base nine times

02:13yesterday that's not supposed to happen in the world series
