144Well, at least the suspense is over.
I am really glad that Ohtani is not languishing with a team that doesn't make the playoffs.
I wonder how much his presence just makes the other guys, even the superstars among them, that much more focussed and in the moment. Like: "I am playing with and experiencing the greatest player to ever play the game, what an immense blessing, I want to be sure to really be here for it." Not like they necessarily need that, but they must be thinking some shade of that to a degree.
The Crew didn't look great at all these last four games, but there are a lot of positives in there, very young players getting some crucial experience and even shining under the pressure (The Miz in particular). At the same time, seeing Seattle's clutch star-calibre deadline aquisitions coming through last night also makes me wish the Brewers could go all in once in a while. Also disappointed at Yelich's performance, much as I admire him. He now has a long history of not producing in the playoffs and not having moments that rally the team in the way Raleigh did last night, for instance. I wonder how his story will continue to unfold.
That ALCS game was absolutely beautiful. Seems like the heads-up double play starting in front of the plate could prove to be a sort of turning point. Excited to see how this plays out.

145Freddy F had to pinch Ohtani, just to make sure he wasn't the man of steel

Is this the most emotional you've ever been on the field?
"YES God is good."
(PS Shohei, Suarez hit 4 homers in one game.)
