I'm watching the US Baseball National League Championship Series game 4 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers, and amazed at Shoei Ohtani's performance. He has hit two solo home runs and pitching flawlessly. It's very rare to see a pitcher who is also a good batter. Kudos!

EDIT: He just hit his 3rd homerun, this time with a man on base, WOW, what a performance!

His discipline when it comes to fiscal matters is also unparalleled.

He is probably the first player in the history of all time to deliberately request a contract that intentionally delayed his payment so that he didn't get too much money at once.

Asians! You just can't beat em

the Blue Jays intentionally walked Ohtani 3 times in a row and won't let him bat the rest of the game

He is the only player with 4 extra bases in one game in world series.

There was a call of "We don't want you" from Blue Jays fans when he stood at bat in game 2 in Toronto.
It seems that they want him so bad.
 
From the prespective of someone who doesn't know a lot about Baseball, if I was a Blue Jays fan, I would be disappointed at the deceision that the coach made. 5 intentional walk for Ohtani and one for Betts.
Fans from both side have gathered to see elite players battle it out — pitcher vs. hitter — not to see one team avoid the challenge. We are sitting in front of TV to see a game, not a strategy to win.
I understand that from a manager’s perspective, it’s about probability, not pride. But in a high-stakes World Series, intentional walks feels unsatisfying. And not once, or twice, but 5 times.

If I were a Blue Jays fan who values fair and head-to-head competition — I’d probably feel disappointed that my team’s big moment was defined more by avoiding greatness than by facing it.

While I admit this game will remaine in history as one of the best baseball games (both sides), still I think nobody forgets the poor deceision of not facing a good hitter.
 
Let's see his performance in tonight's game. I hope he can throw up to 6 inning and at least one homer.
Game 3 ended at about 11:30 p.m. and Game 4 will start around 5:00 p.m. That gives him approximately 17 hours to rest. It's not enough.
And Blue Jays come with all their power. It's a very tight schedule.

Kita, the Dodgers and the Yankees have the highest payrolls making them the second and first most valuable baseball team. They literally can buy the championship. So I think the Blue Jays manager was smart to put the brakes on Ohtani. I know you want to have your fellow countryman's back.

That's the way leaders think. The only thing they care about is the result, not the road to it.
On the other side, we are sitting here to watch a game. A game that the best athletes of two different league face each other to show who is the best.
