2024 Season Spectacular Moments - Archived |
PERSONAL THOUGHTS Monday, June 23, 2025: Is Shohei Back? Shohei's second pitching outing saw him returning to form on the mound - 2 K's, as well as his usual homer tallying 5 RBI's. We hope The Strikeout King is back. Cautiously bringing back Shohei 1-inning at a time is the right way to go. Despite a great game, yet you don't want to all of sudden have him pitch multiple innings already. Monday, June 16, 2025: Return To Pitching The Great Sho' as the pitcher returns tonight - that is 'news'- worthy. Congratulations on 250 career HR's! Friday, May 16, 2025: Hye-Seong Kim New player alert - not that I pay much attention to every game, but only when there is something worth noting. It appears Hye Seong Kim is worth noting. The camaraderie is developing nicely. So there is still no timetable on Shohei's return to pitching. That would actually be news. For once. For real. Haha. Saturday, May 10, 2025: Any early season team struggles or slumps are just slow starts. I think Shohei and the team get their real groove on as the season progesses, deeper in the season. Fans were treated to another comeback thriller, with Shohei showing the "Stick It Where The Sun Don't Shine" homer / game winner haha. As bland as this series is, I'll be looking forward to other series matchups. Perhaps a World Series rematch, if they happen to play the team during the regular season. Monday, April 21, 2025: 'Sho'-Daddy I've been hibernating for a bit. From Ohtani's instagram, congratulations on becoming a new father. Daughter or son, you know their kid is going to be tall (6 ft+). Since the baby is a daughter, probably take after his wife and become a hoopster. I was rooting for a son however - in following his daddy's footsteps in becoming "The Great Sho' 2.0". Thursday, April 03, 2025: 'Oh What A Night' on Bobblehead Night Bobblehead + Walk-Off HR by Shohei. That's a thriller right there. Shohei's intrinsic value is worth billions. His talent is worth billions. It is obvious that LAD signed The Great Sho for his otherwordly talent as well as business opportunities / marketing value. Friday, March 28, 2025: 'Sho'-ing The Way On Opening Day With a homer. I'm sure Hanks was like, "Run, Shohei, Run!". Shohei just being Shohei haha. Friday, March 21, 2025: Tokyo Dome Series Opener The Greatest Dome in the world. Did Shohei really hit the Dome ceiling again? It was an HR - the ball apparently bounced off a fan onto the field. It was clearly going into the stands, at least the first few rows. It sure wasn't Shohei's longest HR however. Saturday, March 01, 2025: Let The HR Count Begin haha Can Shohei be Number 1 this season? Fully healthy - yes. But more importantly, fans are more interested in Shohei returning to pitching again. But that might not be for awhile. That's fine - it is quite a load having to both pitch and hit effectively. Only Shohei can do it. With that said - "Hi LAA! We're World Series Champs. And we might be again this season. How are ticket sales these days". Hahaha. Wednesday, February 19, 2025: It's time to repeat I awakened from slumber, to find out that pre-season is already here and the new season. It's encouraging to see Shohei practicing pitching again. It'll be worth the wait to see Shohei's full arsenal as a batter and a pitcher. But is he really 100% or close to it. And is he going to pitch right away, or after a handful of games. I'd take it slow as a caution. Thursday, October 31, 2024: Song Of The Day - "We Are The Champions"  Congratulations to Shohei and LAD for an extraordinary season and winning it all. Who would have thunk it - Shohei's first season with his new team, and winning the World Series (while breaking records and making history along the way). While Shohei did not have a standout World Series (struggled with only 1 hit the entire series), his teammates more than picked up the slack. Shohei did have a great post-season run overall however. It's unfortunate about Sho's shoulder injury. So what's to look forward to next season other than defending the title? Simple - hopefully, we'll get see him pitch. His recent shoulder injury might be a minor setback however. It would've been nice to have the winning game celebrated at Dodger Stadium instead. I think the sweep potential was there - had Shohei been his full self. Damn Yankees - more like, Yankees Were 'Damned' haha. The rest of the league were Damned. The Great Sho' has cometh.
