No Triple Crown for Ohtani but he has a comfortable NL lead in home runs, runs scored, and OPS. Tied for the lead in RBI’s and a slight lead in total hits. His 3rd MVP is on the horizon.

Let me clarify the rules for you, collegepark. A pitcher can attempt a 3rd pickoff, but if it isn’t successful the runner gets 2nd base. So nobody is leading off the bag 15 feet after two attempts.

Acuna really had a career year last season. Too bad he had a season ending injury the first month this year. Ohtani could be the first 45-45 guy.

@Ossan, as a Pacific Islander who was born in the Trust Territory we were never issued US passports. We had Trust Territory passports. Guam was different because it was never part of the Trust Territory.

Ichiro’s first three seasons only one pitcher in eight threw above 93mph. His last three seasons it was one in three. Interesting, to me anyway, is that Babe Ruth never had a single season of 100 strikeouts.
