MLB: ***2026 MLB Season Thread***

We have a series in the AL. Didn't expect the Blue Jays to take the first 2 in Seattle.
 
Is that the most dominant performance in mlb history?

Granted there aren’t even many rational comparisons.

Ruth hit 3 home runs in a World Series game twice but he was an outfielder by then.

Shohei and Ruth are in a class of their own at this point.

So the Brewers have 10 hits now in 35 innings of this series.

I had a lot of Brewers fan friends when I lived in Chicago and oddly my neighbor here in LA...I really feel for them the way they've been good the past few years and these gut wrenching ways to lose in the playoffs. Their misery index has to be higher than when they weren't even in the hunt.

It’s probably the best of all time but I’ll play devils advocate since it was only the NLCS. How about Jack Morris pitching 10 scoreless innings in game seven of the World Series. Let’s see Shohei do that. That being said, Shohei is the greatest baseball player of all time and I don’t even think you can debate it unless you argue longevity.
 
"Before this season started, they said the Dodgers are ruining baseball. Let's get 4 more wins and really ruin baseball!"

- Dave Roberts, Manager of the Dodgers.

Maybe not the thing to say when your team is 75% of the reason the 2027 season is expected to be delayed.

Othani's 2nd homer traveled 469 feet and cleared the overhang in Dodgers Stadium in right center. He hit it out of the stadium. Just crushed it.

4 runs in 4 games has to be an NLCS record? I know the Cubs got destroyed in 2015 and 2017 but I don't remember it being that bad.
