Well, Ohtani can pitch, and he can hit, and he's fast, but he doesn't know how to slide for ****. That should have been the ballgame, thanks, Shohei.
And who is this Mythical "Better Manager"? Don't say Hinch. He had better starters (pitching) to work with.
Their pythag is 96-55 but their actual record is 90-61. Some of that underperformance is due to a mediocre at best tactician in the manager spot. And yes, Hinch would probably have them closer to their pythag to be honest.
