1st pitch CRUSHING!

majestik101 · 06-05-2021, 09:22 PM

Unreal. The level of talent and the power he exhibits is absolutely absurd.

3rdpedal · 06-05-2021, 09:23 PM

This man is so much fun to watch.

DiegsHobby · 06-05-2021, 09:24 PM

I've been waiting for this matchup. I think Kikuchi is a great pitcher and am expecting a great start.

Best of both worlds though; love to see a solo HR from Ohtani!

I hope Ichiro was able to see that from the Mariners dugout!
(Ichiro adores Ohtani.)

Great information - thanks!

Kikuchi is the senpai (senior) and Ohtani is the kouhai (junior).

Looks like the 1st at bat went in favor of the kouhai.
Homer to center field.

That was just about Left Center.

Enjoying the SHO!

zbaseball21 · 06-05-2021, 11:14 PM

114 mph off the bat. just unlucky.

It's good that they're being careful with him. He won't pitch as many innings as people expect this year. But he's going to be a starting pitcher at an elite level for many more years than expected

Tough pitch to hit - love it.

1st player in history to HR day after striking out 10.

And now an RBI double!

Reminds me of the Mr Baseball stat where he said he led the team in doubles during day games during the month of August. Not to take away from Ohtani, that’s an amazing feat, I always find it funny baseball has the most obscure stats and we’re all lemmings for them, myself included.

Sho time mail train came in while I was traveling! The last of the pre-boom subs.

(Thanks PSA for swapping the flips

Terrible, terrible part on PSA. You should have every right to be able to have those resubmitted for free.

Yeah, they'll send him a FedEx label to ship the cards back to PSA to fix them. Still, after waiting so long to get them it sucks big balls.

100% this.

whats better value the 2018 TC Sapphire Pitching Ohtani or the 2018 TC Pitching #150 Numbered Parallels /99 /150 (i.e. Blue, Blue Wave, Green, Green Wave)? Both appear to be trading at around similar prices. Thinking of investing in one or the other.

Sucks about the wrong flips but congrats on the RPA Gem 10, those thick Immaculate cards are notoriously hard to gem!!
Hope they can fix it quickly for you

I would be furious. It really begs the question why I have to wait almost a month for both QA Check 1 and QA Check 2 only to see things like this. How does that happen? What exactly are they doing in these steps if the flips can still be switched and make it out the door?
