00:00We got to talk about Shohei Ohtani.

00:02Unbelievable that we made our way all the way to segment three,

00:04and we haven't mentioned that Shohei Ohtani smashed an MLB World Series record

00:09by getting on base nine times.

00:12That tied a major league record.

00:14Our Twitter team, at just BB underscore media,

00:18had an all-time night on Monday night into Tuesday morning.

00:22I can't even call it Monday night, but they were absolutely nailing it.

00:26Shohei Ohtani goes double, homer, double, homer, right?

00:34And then he goes four intentional walks and a walk.

00:37He goes, sorry, homer, double, double, homer,

00:40intentional walk, intentional walk, intentional walk, intentional walk,

00:43and just unintentional but intentional walk.

00:46Of course, he tied a major league record by getting on base nine times.

00:51He pitches tonight, by the way, folks.

00:53He throws in under 24 hours.

00:55His post-game conversation, I believe it was with Tom Berducci.

00:59Will Ayrton said, I just want to get out of here as quickly as possible

01:02and go to bed so I can get ready for my start.

01:04This guy was stretching his calf in the 11th inning.

01:06I understand that it's kind of like a cheapy way to get to nine times on base

01:11with the intentional walks, but that speaks to who he is,

01:15what he was doing that night.

01:17Like, that was the stuff of legends.

01:20And every single time you think this guy has checked every box on a baseball field,

01:24he finds a new box to create and check.

01:28Yep.

01:28Yeah, and it's the first time he's ever walked five times.

01:31Interestingly enough, he's walked four times three different occasions in his career.

01:35He earned the five walks with not only the four just scorched balls in that ballgame,

01:43but also I think the homers that he's hit over the last week plus

01:48and just the at-bats that he's had in general,

01:51whether it's the home run against the Jays,

01:53whether it's the three home runs against the Brewers.

01:55Like, there was just so many at-bats of late where it's just,

01:58okay, we're going to let somebody else beat us.

02:00But to that point, that's one other gripe I have.

02:02You have a mound visit with Otani coming up,

02:06and that ended up being why this game carried on.

02:08Maybe they score another run another way,

02:10but I don't think so because they didn't score another run another way

02:12for 48 innings after this.

02:15I understand that that was definitely not the location intended for Sir Anthony Dominguez.

02:21But what did you talk about there with your guy who is stuff over command,

02:25knowing that he's probably not going to hit his spot,

02:27or at least is liable to not hit his spot at points with Otani up?

02:33I'm sure the conversation was, like, focus here, throw here,

02:37whatever it was to how you want to pitch to him.

02:40But whatever the conversation was, it should have included,

02:44do whatever you can to not leave a fastball in the area

02:48where a guy this dialed can go kill it.

02:51And it didn't work.

02:53I don't know.

02:53Whatever the conversation was, it didn't work.

02:55And, you know, whether it was very obvious

02:58and Sir Anthony Dominguez just completely botched that, I don't know.

03:02But if the conversation wasn't, I was looking at, you know,

03:05where the catcher was set up and everything like that,

03:07which was still Kirk,

03:09it looked like it was high fastball.

03:14There's always a chance that he tugs that down a little bit.

03:17Otani can still cover those pitches.

03:19So I don't really know what the conversation was.

03:21Whatever it was, it wasn't good enough.

03:22And, you know, know your personnel, right?

03:25Hey, brother, here's what I'll say.

03:27I can respect and I can forgive a location gaffe.

03:32And Dominguez can just tap his chest and say,

03:34that's on me.

03:35I yanked one, whatever, whatever.

03:37That pitch selection, like,

03:38righties shouldn't be throwing him fastballs in October.

03:42There's just no world that that should be happening.

03:43Nobody should be throwing him fastballs,

03:45but particularly right-handed pitching should never throw this guy fastballs.

03:49Like, if it's a show me at the chin

03:51and you have confidence that you're not going to tug it down.

03:53Even then, he can get to a pitch at his collarbone.

03:55So, like, you're right.

03:56It has to be above the collarbone.

03:58There was just no world that, like,

04:00a fastball first pitch made any sense in the world.
