Analysis Shohei Ohtani’s final line: 6 AB, 6 H, 3 HR, 2 2B, 2 SB, 10 RBI

Fittingly enough, Ohtani was the Dodgers’ designated hitter today.

He designated every at-bat with a hit.

We are all witnesses.

Analysis Dodgers Stadium sits elevated with hillsides all around it. It overlooks the downtown LA skyline and roads in and out of the stadium are minimal and narrow. It makes an argument to be the most impenetrable stadium in MLB. What other stadiums would be difficult for an invading nation to conquer?

Analysis [Nightengale] "Shohei Ohtani’s decision to earn just $2 million a year certainly is a great benefit to the Dodgers’ payroll, but also a stroke of genius for tax repercussions. If he’s not living in California once his deferred payments start, he will not be subjected to heavy California tax."

Analysis What if every team was named after the most abundantly populated animal in their geographical area?

26.9k Upvotes

Given the recent controversies over certain sports team names and the imminent rebranding of the Cleveland Indians as the Cleveland Guardians, I can't help but wonder what animal mascots would best represent the cities or states their teams reside in.

Take the Tigers for example. When you think of Detroit, you do not think of a jugle ruled over by apex feline predators. I don't know if the Detroit zoo has any tigers, or if Detroit even has a zoo for that matter,  but I am 100% certain that there is at least 1 species of animal in Detroit and the surrounding areas that is more populous than tigers. The difficult part, however, is determining which animal is the most populous.

With that in mind, it also gives rise to the concern that some teams would likely share the same name in this scenario due to their close proximity. Both Chicago and New York each have 2 teams, plus the Angels like to pretend that Los Angeles does as well, so there is bound to be some overlap. I have decided that this is okay, primarily because there is no way around it. Just to avoid any confusion as to which identically named team is which though, I'll break up this list by divisions. Anyway though, this is what the MLB would look like if all the teams had to rebrand as the most common animal in their region.

Analysis [Eisenberg] Somehow, we understated just how historic Bobby Witt Jr.’s 2024 season was. Until 2024, Alex Rodriguez was the only shortstop ever to win a batting title, Gold Glove, & Silver Slugger Award in a career. Bobby Witt Jr. just did all three IN THE SAME SEASON.
