Shohei Ohtani is human, but the Angels need him to keep playing despite exhaustion

Post: # 89342Post flaokie »

Shohei Ohtani is exhausted.
 Twice during the Angels’ recent nine-game trip, Ohtani had to be replaced by a pinch hitter because of lower-body cramps. During his team’s return to Anaheim, he pitched only four innings because of another muscular contraction, this one on the middle finger of his pitching hand.

Not your typical pro baseball sissy that has to sit out 4 or 5 games because he got a little boo-boo on his small toe. 

Today this guy is a freak --  he's a pitcher that can hit.
If this fellow can do it why nobody else.

The DH rule should be thrown out.  If you are a pro player, you should be able to throw a ball and swing a bat.

Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale, and  Don Newcome come to mind as first rate pitchers that were good hitters.
