All in all one can only conclude he is a physical wreck.

I suspect this forum would have had the same pessimism with regards to Ruth in 1920. (Or not)

The future hasn’t happened yet is all I can say. I liked Mays in 1954.

For me it’s say hey for Shohei.

I wish him well.

I think it's more of us suspecting the physical toll that pitching once every six days, and hitting the days that he "has off," will catch up to him. Everyone's bodies break down eventually, and he's been doing this for a bit. I'm not saying, it's going to happen, but even the mightiest in this game, have fallen. Father time, catches us all, and he might catch Ohtani quicker than others because of what he puts his body through. This is pure speculation though, and I'm enjoying the ride.
