2023 MLB Thread -- World Champion Rangers - Hot Stove Warming Up - Soto to the Yanks - Ohtani's destination unknown

Let's put that in perspective. He had one less hit than the entire Tigers line-up in their 29 plate appearances facing him.

To be fair, he wasn't batting against himself.

yes, he had the greatest day of baseball I can recall, ever, in my lifetime.

Maybe someone in the National League has thrown a CG 1-hit shutout while homering in the same game; I don't know

This is the closest I remember. Glavine threw 8 with 0 ER (but 1 unearned run) while also homering:

Need to look at some old Don Drysdale games for Dodgers. If I recall, he hit about .300 He was their number one pinch hitter on his non-pitching days.

Syndergaard did throw a CG shutout (4-hitter though) and homered for the Mets' only run a few years ago. Still like Ohtani's day more:

Noah Syndergaard does it all: home run, complete-game shutout in Mets' win over Reds

Noah Syndergaard responded to his early-season critics in a big way, pretty much lifting the Mets to a win over the Reds by himself.

Perhaps, the greatest single game ever played:

Rick Wise threw a no-hitter and homered twice.

Quite the pitching sell off by the White Sox - Giolito, Lynn, Kelly and now Graveman to the Astros

And the trade deadline player movement frenzy begins in earnest.

The Orioles still need an arm or two upgrade. Huge win on Mo Gaba day though....

I was comparing their roster with the Mets.

The 9 highest paid guys on a combined roster wouldn't include an Oriole.

The Orioles are 14 games better.

This year's Mets are a study in how to spend a lot of money for little success.

I kind of wish the Rangers went after JV instead of Scherzer

Seems like a headache with the no trade clause and money to sort out

Really hoping the Rangers get the 4+ ERA/1.1+ WHIP Scherzer of this year and not the sub 3 ERA/sub 1 WHIP Scherzer of the past decade-ish.

Money doesn’t equate with success. College sports are the same way despite what the FSU AD says.

If a Yankee did this they would make him frontrunner for the MVP award.
