Sorry, should have been more specific; he only pitched essentially two years as a Yankee as a pitcher in his prime… Just a few games in 1920 and 1921. And he was horrible. That is probably why he decided to give up pitching and focus on hitting instead.
Near the very end of his career he did pitch like two more games, one bad and one horrible.
As mentioned, Ruth pitched longer than that. Really it was 4+ seasons as he only pitched 133 innings in his 5th full season. His World Series record was 3-0 with a 0.87 ERA over 31 innings. If memory serves me right he held the record for consecutive shutout innings in the World Series.
Of course my remark was just my funny way of teasing Ohtani.
So sick of these announcers fawning over Shohei. This isn’t a Dodgers home broadcast.
Someone should remind them Blue Jays are leading 2-1, and Bieber could go 2 more innings, as struggling Dodgers hitters like Betts keep hitting the 1st pitch while making outs.
If you’re struggling, at least take a couple of pitches to raise the pitch count
While hockey games used to have them (maybe still do?) I agree that the live organ has a distinct “baseball” feel. The Dodgers used to have Helen Dell who was great… great sense of humor in her song selections…
Jays showed a lot of heart after last night’s 18 inning loss.
Oh, Hell yeah!! 2-2
Now, about Blue Jay baserunning……
Babe Ruth wouldn’t have lost
Haha
Ruth only pitched two years…. Ohtani has already gone 5 as a pitcher. The Myth of the Babe is WAAAAY overblown.
Ruth only pitched two years…
No

Ruth pitched 6 years for the Red Sox then sporadically for the Yankees
He was 94-46 over 10 years with a 2.28 ERA
He won 24 games in 1917 and 23 games in 1916

Suck it Doyers
Best of three with two in Toronto
Suck it Kiki
^^this^^
6 more outs then the dodgers can’t clinch at home
That will save a few lives
Blue jays might regret pitching to Ohtani last night in the seventh. Had a chance to be up 3-1
Ohtani with the loss
Blue jays fans better leave before one of them shows up dead
….just one?

Lets go, Jays!!
Man do I miss old school organ music at a game. Arte getting rid of that was such a disappointment. How much can an organist cost?!
Many teams abandoned them around 2005 but have subsequently brought them back. Nothing says a ballgame more to me than the live organ music.
While hockey games used to have them (maybe still do?) I agree that the live organ has a distinct “baseball” feel. The Dodgers used to have Helen Dell who was great… great sense of humor in her song selections…
I believe she was ejected from one or two games during her career, once for sure.
She played Three blind mice during a Lasorda bad-umpire-call rant.
Somehow I don’t think today’s game is going to be exactly sparkling.
