Sometimes I just randomly remember that the Dodgers sat back and watched an injured Ohtani play himself into the ground in July and August for no reason and ended up nuking their shot at a 3-peat lmfao
Watching Ohtani play himself into a season-altering injury that is gonna cost him the MVP (and potentially much more) while the Dodgers just sit back and let it happen, is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen in this sport lol Absolutely wild times

Let’s hope for better sense next time from Shohei and the Dodgers as they navigate his health and physical well-being. “I’m going to go back to the drawing board in terms of treatment, training program, and see what I can come up with for next season.” latimes.com/sports/dodgers/s…

sigh I'm keeping this name for another fucking year
Shohei Ohtani says he expects to be a two-way player next season.

A literal shell of Ohtani was still better than Mookie and Freddie. This is the core they are gonna be running with for the few remaining years of Ohtani’s prime. Yikes😭
Final OPS numbers for the postseason: Shohei: .631 Mookie: .550 Freddie: .621 Smith: .286 Tucker: .938 Teo: .519 Rojas: .929 Muncy: .791 Edman: .204 Pages: .629 Kiké: .357

Never seen a defending champion, in any sport, roll over and hand a series away like that. Absolutely pathetic

Saddest imaginable way to go out. Zero fight in any of them lmao

At the end of the day, the only chance they had is if they got at least ONE true ace performance from their 4 aces and sadly they got none

If Ohtani doesn’t do anything here it’s beyond over

One hard hit ball in two months gaslit Roberts into leading off with this guy. When the obituary of the 2026 Dodgers is written, it will be 90% Robert’s handling of Ohtani all season.

Ohtani needlessly playing himself into the ground all August and September and showing up to the playoffs as a shell of himself literally feeds these dumb narratives. And he brought it all on himself, so hard to feel bad for him honestly
Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani have VERY different postseason reputations 👀

Atp it’s irrelevant whether Ohtani plays or not. There is no decent alternative anyway. The damage has already been done. This organization sat back and allowed their best hitter to play himself into a broken shell and killed their chances at a 3peat. It’s as simple as that

He is broken. He played himself into this broken state by downplaying his injuries all season and refusing to go on the IL in July when they didn’t even need him. Now he’s useless to them. There’s nothing commendable about how Ohtani handled himself this season
The worst take I think I saw from certain Dodgers fans was calling Shohei Ohtani selfish for being assertive about playing in tomorrow’s game. I commend him for giving it his all. Heart of a champion. Complete opposite energy from Max Scherzer.

Ohtani has put himself in a near impossible position now. Either perform, or the entire loss will be blamed on him. This is why Judge was smart to just be honest with himself and the team and sit it out
Dave Roberts said he spoke with Shohei Ohtani today, who said he was "adamant" that he feels good enough to stay in the lineup and turn it around. Ohtani will be in the lineup again in Game 3.

“In this big moment, we’re listening to Shohei,” Dave Roberts said. “And we’re supporting the crap out of him and believe in him.”

Absolute clown show 🤡 This is a perfect example of how Ohtani has been gaslighting Roberts all season about his injuries. Impossible to defend this garbage
Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup for Game 3. Said Ohtani is “adamant” he’s close to turning it around. “He was very convicted that he was on to something mechanically.”

Don’t be surprised if this dude played himself into career-altering injuries this season. Just so incredibly stupid (and so easily avoidable)
Shohei is not healthy
