00:00
The Dodgers were a road favorite yesterday in Miami, so beating the Marlins 20-4 isn't
00:09
all that crazy, even with 20 runs.
00:12
But you might be thinking to yourself, how did they get to 20 in a baseball game?
00:17
His name is Shohei Otani, who made Major League Baseball history in more ways than one last
00:23
night in Miami.
00:25
Let's talk about the game itself first.
00:28
Six hits and six at-bats, three home runs, ten RBIs, he scored four runs, and he stole
00:37
two bases.
00:38
Again, Joe, I said this at the start of the show, but it bears repeating because it was
00:42
a historic performance.
00:44
Since the RBI became an official stat back in 1920, over a century ago in America's pastime,
00:50
only one Major League Baseball player over the course of his career has totaled up a
00:55
game of all of these requirements.
00:58
Ten or more RBIs, once in his career.
01:01
Six or more hits, once in his career.
01:03
Five or more extra base hits, once in his career.
01:06
Three or more home runs, once in his career.
01:09
At least two stolen bases, once in his career.
01:11
A game to solidify all of those positions just at one time throughout what could be
01:16
a 12, 14, 16-year Major League Baseball career, Shohei Otani did it all in his career in one
01:23
single game last night in South Florida.
01:26
And oh, by the way, the three home runs gives him 51 this season.
01:31
The two stolen bags gives him 51 so far this season.
01:35
He became also the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in
01:42
the same season.
01:44
We have said it before, we will say it again, a unicorn on the diamond and the greatest
01:49
to ever do it.
01:50
I mean, there are just so many things that, in the way to do it, to create his own club,
01:57
the 50-50 club, Ben, in that way is just the thing that legends are made of here.
02:04
And I can't help but to wonder if any of this happens if he's a pitcher this year, Ben.
02:11
And I think it's a fair question, because if this is what he is capable of, of just
02:16
being an everyday hitter, an everyday player DH, why in the world would I want him to do
02:23
— I don't want you to pitch.
02:25
What good would he have done the Dodgers pitching this year?
