WELCOME TO OCTOBER MR. SHOHEI OHTANI!!! A MONSTER 3-RUN BOMB WITH THE BAT TOSS!!!

MY GOODNESS SHOHEI!!!! This guy was made for October. He was made in a lab, put back on this earth and all he does is hit big time home runs. LA goes down early in the playoffs again, shocker right? Ohtani with 2 guys on and Dylan Cease just puts one right on a tee for him. In that spot Shohei loves and oh my goodness does he smoke this pitch. When he turns on them they are gone in a second. This has to be 130 off the bat. An absolute rocket in his 2nd at-bat in October. You think he dreamed for years about moments like that? Such a violent swing, so sexually violent. I love it. That swing is going to absolutely play in October.

It was the 2nd inning but that's a big homer there to get the crowd and team back in it. And that bat toss, my god. You don't see Shohei Ohtani show emotion like that, he just doesn't. He holds it in and releases it when it's needed most, like the playoffs. The team feeds off that, a quiet leader unleashing emotion to get the guys going, how can you not love that. Listen to that crowd as well man, what a cool moment early in Game 1. Joe Davis being on the call was perfect as well, you could't have scripted that any better. You knew Ohtani would get his 1st career postseason homer tonight, you just didn't know how far it would go. Welcome to the October HR Club Shohei.
