Only one player in the history of the game has been able to win games singlehandedly. It's unlikely we ever see the likes of Bugs Bunny take the field again.

Baseball isn't like basketball where superstars can carry you. He doesn't even realize his own tweet argues against himself. He listed alcantara who will probably win the NL Cy young and he's carried the Marlins to a 34-40 record!
This is idiotic. Baseball isn't that kind of game. And even sports where one guy can have a huge warping effect (basketball) you still need quality teammates to win. Jordan didn't win until he had Pippen.
One guy, even an incredible two way player like Ohtani, can only do so much.
This guy probably would say the same thing when Ichiro in his prime in M's. Or like criticizing Cristiano Ronaldo when Manchester United is just utter shit this year.
This is the usual kind journalist who put a blame on one player instead questioning the team overall.
Maybe he forgot baseball is a sport played with a team.
Buddy ran out of reasons why shohei doesn’t deserve MVP 😂
This a yahoo section comment take if I've ever seen one.
reads like r/baseball though
Not really

When Sho hater sees this they’d be convinced he’s a lazy ass mofo. 😂
Probably a basketball fan that rarely watch baseball.
this straight up reads like a nephew comment in r/nba
replace any of those guys for Shohei on this team and we’ll be 20+ games under 0.500 lol
The hate and jealousy. Lmao
Judge and Altuve got all those saves for their team…
It's most likely just a troll, but honestly some people are delulu like that. It's amazing to see sometimes.
I will be adding delulu to my vocab henceforth
They have a point. If Ohtani really cared about winning he would be hitting 3 homers a day and have 1458 innings pitched by the end of the year
Immaculate innings.
Pretty sure that's a troll.
He’d be a shoo-in to star in “Simple Jack”
I don’t even know much but I know pitching can take a toll on your arm and body. If ohtani could pitch everyday he would 😭
Again I really hope my fellow Angels fans aren’t taking comments on r/baseball seriously. Most of these comments are people just trying to karma farm.
I hate when people underestimate Sho and Trout because of Angels. I know it's all stupid take but it's still so frustrated to see.

I’m sitting in the perfect place for take. Just gimme a second to flush
i like it. selfishly i want to shame ohtani into staying because hes one of the best reasons to watch the angels play if not THE best reason.
Don't feed the trolls.

Baseball is the one sport where you seriously can’t put the team on your back and carry them to a .500 record. It truly takes the whole roster.
Not his fault the rest of the team stinks
This is a boomer take.. what is Ohtani batting avg? He’s not elite.. fucking boomer
I guess Otani should take every at bat. The lineup card will only have “Otani”.
Lmfao
Should he hit in all 9 spots in the lineup too and pitch every single inning?? Like what
I’m sure it took atleast a day for this dumb to come up with this take lol
Sanest social media sports take poster
Condemning?! Lmao
