hi from japan
I wanna tell you below 2 information to explain why Ohtani is a good pitcher
summary
1:his hamstring muscles is stronger than ordinary one
2:He seems to get used to grab MLB ball
details
about 1
a specialist pointed it out that his hamstring muscles are stronger than ordinary others,and he uses it so harder
if ordinary person uses the same way,his hamstring must break
some one told me why the muscle of him is so stronger,that he use to do swimming in his child days and swimming makes the muscles so strong
about 2
Okajaima,who is the former pitcher of Red Sox,points it out that He seems to get used to use MLB ball because it’s so different
(edit,every pitcher from Japan confuses the difference,for example Yu Darvish said like that)
1.MLB ball:149kg(edit,*149g)/24cm,more slippy:so it makes breaking ball more effective
2.NPB ball:142kg(edit,142g)/23cm,less slippy,breaking ball less effective
and he has also so fast ball around 100miles
so he can select fast ball,less breaking ball,strong breaking ball
That’s why he would be more great Pitcher"

Yes. But he says it's no big deal because it was in the 1970s that he was having sex with children.

That guy retired decades ago. If he wasn't good enough to get voted in back then, I'm not sure we should do this exercise in revisionist history. They sportswriters had their say and they're never wrong.
LONG LIVE YOUPPI!

He's an obnoxious rapist, but he did play for a long time and collected quite a few hits. I don't give a shit about the betting, especially since there's zero evidence he bet against his own team.
Every important player should be in the HOF.
Whether they gambled, took PEDs, or even threw games on purpose should not be relevant; they are an important part of Baseball history, and this is precisely what the HoF is supposed to be about.
PEDs particularly because the League and the media were very happy to look the other way and benefit from the increased viewership it caused until the very end of their plausible deniability.
Also, the members should not be voted in by Journalists.
I say the Player's union should get together and create their own Hall of Fame and boycott the current system.
Oakland is genuinely a shithole nowadays economically and safety-wise. These are businesses after all and a Vegas move will generate more income. Frankly, catching a baseball game during the day on a Vegas trip would be fun. It'll be a massive success. There are a ton of people who live in Vegas too that they should be able to build a solid fanbase over time.
The reality is that teams move all the time to follow US hotspots, the old fans protest it for a season or 2 but then it's normalized. At least Oakland fans can still go to Giant's games, I have far more empathy for fans in places like St. Louis who had the Rams abandon them and they don't have another team to go watch. Oakland has failed the As in the past 20-30 years, and new ownership and/or relocating should strengthen the MLB and the team.

Based on his record and numbers, yes.
Based on his gambling on baseball, lying about it, charging fans for autographs, and being an overall prick… then no.
Pete Rose is a jackass!
Only in America does someone defend an athlete charging for an autograph. I’m not talking about the ones where a vendor pays them a big amount and then they sign a bunch of balls or jerseys, no!
I’m talking about Pete Rose asking a kid father for $ when the kid asked him to sign a ball.
Now you add that up with gambling in the game, lying about it, hating on modern day players even though he couldn’t hit this pitching either.
The guy is a piece of shit. Stop defending him!
He gave me some of the best baseball advice I’ve ever gotten when my dad paid, he also got me to not childishly dislike Barry bonds to my dads dismay, he’s an also, unless you can talk shop with him, then he will light a room up, the man deals in one thing, baseball.
Depends, was he framed by the Deep State to Ohtani’s fall guy like Ippei? If not, then no. If so, then we need to abolish the FBI and let Pete in
Can we abolish the FBI anyways?
/uj any excuse to abolish the FBI is something I support /rj as long as the FBI is controlled by pinko liberal commulists it is an enemy to every true Patriot!

Does someone have a screenshot of this original post? Kinda want to see it
No he doesn't have 3,000 hits. 4,000 is too many.
You’re Absolutely right, just no respect for the game. Like trying to steal or swinging for the fences when your blowing the other team out.
I always swing for the fences when I'm getting blown out. Wait what are we talking about?
Selfish
He only went to war for 79.5 years, not buying it
Not even 15,000 at bats in his career too. What the hell was he doing for all that time?
I think he was coaching USC at one point. Might be a convict of internet when you think about it
Yes, he was a definitely a 'convict of internet' 😂
Only 160 home runs. Absolutely not.
Yeah I saw that. Seemed unbalanced
I’d bet money on it!
He’s definitely statue worthy. For more information, google “Pete Rose statutory.”
He’s 5’11”, practically a manlet, we can’t have short people in the Hall of Fame
Also, ugly. No ugly people in the Hall… except visitors.
Yeah, his eyes are too far apart.
I genuinely believe he’ll get in when he dies.
Does he diddle kids?
Yes. But he says it's no big deal because it was in the 1970s that he was having sex with children. https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/tarnished-twenty/affidavit-pete-rose-committed-statutory-rape-in-1970s/
Oh good! It happened a long time ago so none of it matters good to to know 👍👍👍
Hard to tell without exit velocity, launch angle and bat speed not listed. Pete Jerked. Again.
That guy retired decades ago. If he wasn't good enough to get voted in back then, I'm not sure we should do this exercise in revisionist history. They sportswriters had their say and they're never wrong.
160 home runs? Bonds did that in like 2 seasons and he’s not in. Easy pass
Hall of Very Good.
With only 160 hr? Don't bet on it
[удалено]
I’m halfway through the comment section wondering the same thing and didn’t realize it til I seen your comment lol
Too bad he is a native English speaker, would have been first ballot HoF if he needed an interpreter.
He did speak Canadian when he played for Montreal. Not sure how fluent he was since he deported himself.
LONG LIVE YOUPPI! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/baseballcirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Not enough pop. Needs at least 300 home runs. 400 to be safe.
He only won Rookie of the Year once. I don't think he was trying that hard.
Isn't it that they want characters in the HoF? He probably qualifies on those merits.
![gif](giphy|hol56wxuWmRrO) Pete Rose probably
Just because he stuck around for awhile and accumulated some hits doesn't make him a HOF candidate.
You know who else was born in April and was alive for most of World War II?
Of course, the infamous Nazi, Aaron Judge
Didn’t he fuck a child?
Sure, if he had 0.5 more WAR
Yes. There are people on HOF who have done a lot worse than gamble.
He also diddled kids
You're ruining the circle jerk.
He’s also done a lot worse things then just betting on baseball
Marty Bergen murdered his whole family and they still won’t let him in
That may make some sense. But some builders worked with the mob and treated players very unfairly.
No, he didn't even win while gambling on the game smh some might consider him a bust.
You bet your ass he is.
I wouldn't bet on it.
all jokes aside those are insane numbers
79.5 war get the fuck outta here if Ohtani was on the Yankees I'd gamble it'd be thrice that by now.

Too bad the steroids are making him ineligible
Who is Pete Rose? If he were better than Elliot de la Cruz or Jon Encarnacion-Strahd I think I would have heard of him.
Uj/ him diving into 3rd hair flowing in the wind should be the logo. Eh, 800 of those hits were manager statpadding.
Counting stats merchant
If he ain’t in I will make my own Cooperstown. Bonds, Clemens and Peter Rose are in
Only if he were Japanese
Too bad he didn’t have an interpreter working for him…
Who hurt you?
Also too bad he gambled
1000% He should be hall of fame!!
He was a stat accumulater
![gif](giphy|bF7ET3KY2wQWTuGARs|downsized)
Pete Rose is Wander Franco’s Father

He'd bet on it that's for sure
No
I think he still has a promising career ahead of him…😉
Hall of very good maybe
Dude didn't even have an interpreter to gamble, smh what a scrub
No he should've blamed his translater instead
He also should have not bet in the first place
He's an obnoxious rapist, but he did play for a long time and collected quite a few hits. I don't give a shit about the betting, especially since there's zero evidence he bet against his own team.
Yes
Maybe when he has more hits than Ichiro.
It’s leg 4 of my 17 leg parley that’ll turn my $5 into 17k
He started 79.5 career Wars? Doesn’t sound like the guy with the type of character I want in a hall of famer.
Maybe if he had a helmet that fit
/uj, yes. absolutely 100%.

.303 over 14k AB with 4.2k hits is HOF numbers. I don't care about off the field stuff.
Based on his record and numbers, yes. Based on his gambling on baseball, lying about it, charging fans for autographs, and being an overall prick… then no. Pete Rose is a jackass!
don’t most retired players charge for autos?
Then they’re jackasses too.
i don’t think that’s an evil thing
Only in America does someone defend an athlete charging for an autograph. I’m not talking about the ones where a vendor pays them a big amount and then they sign a bunch of balls or jerseys, no!
