For sure -- but for the fact that it wasn't in the playoffs.

So we are in agreement that Wise had a better game EXCEPT for the timing.

But timing is everything. A no-pressure regular season game doesn't compare to the moment Ohtani had. Which makes his game so much better.

Well, you would have a point that I could more easily agree with except for the pressure ramps up in a no-hitter, while it arguably ramps down when a team is on a roll, beating the crap out of another team in a best of seven series.

“Beating the crap” ? As a fan i never felt they were doing that in the series but that’s just me.

Folks are entitled to their opinions, no matter how stupid they might be. Hell, I've met a few people in my life who have seriously maintained that The Beatles were overrated.

Yeah. Mickey Mantle, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson/Jordan and Taylor Swift are all far more overrated than the Beatles.

They're no Limp Bizkit, that's for sure.
