I don't want to overreact and maybe it's just confirmation bias but I feel like between the pitch clock and him batting leadoff it's really making it difficult for him to hit on days he's pitching.

He's just having a bad night at the plate it happens! As much as he doesn't seem human he is!

Roki has to close, right?

Ohtani showed grit he didn't let the 2nd inning snowball out of control. It's not always rainbows and butterflies on the mound this was a grinder type performance!

BoSoxFan1999 · 10-04-2025, 08:57 PM

Not many guys can go 0-4 with 4 K's and still say they had a good game. Lol

ThoseBackPages · 10-04-2025, 09:05 PM

and with the day off tomorrow, back to normal batting on monday

Just a friendly warning for those looking to buy nice Sho cards on social forums. There are multiple high-end cards with ridiculous prices being listed, followed by people (likely poster's friends) commenting how cheap the card is and circle j'ing each other. Seen a few people fall for this and pay 50-80% higher than actual value.

Please do your own research and don't get caught up in the emotions.

What are your thoughts on Veriswap? I’m seeing a lot of decent prices for key Sho cards. My guess is the listings that look too good to be true are outdated, not updated by the sellers, but who knows. Any experience with buying/selling on Veriswap?

Yeah, the difference is that deep pocketed people influenced by Shohei's social/cultural reach are buying in. The ignorance and gullibility are pretty high, even for hobby standards.

Lot of outdated listings where you can't hit BIN. You'll end up sending an offer and getting ignored or queuing the seller to raise the price.

FB, IG, X have some deals but are overwhelmed with grifters and scammers. Crappy people follow the money.

Makes sense. I’ve seen a lot of nonsense on FB, good people and cards too. Have yet to really get into card buying on IG but I’ve heard there’s a big community there.
