Shownotes Transcript

Shohei Ohtani just had one of the most dominant two-game stretches of all time hitting two 3-run homers with 8 RBI one night, and coming back the next night to pitch 8 shoutout innings with 13Ks. This dude dunks on Babe Ruth. This leads to a discussion about whether Ohtani should win MVP every year for the rest of his career and how you are supposed to weigh his value against other players. We also talk about whether Ohtani will stay in Anaheim once his contract is up. The Guardians have taken over first place in the AL Central and Jared thinks they're here to stay. Joey thinks their season is over. Dallas says the White Sox are fucking toast and Jared think they still have a shot. We also show love to Yordan Álvarez for the monster year he's having and talk about where he stands in the AL MVP discussion. More in Part 2!
