"Shohei Ohtani is unreal" - Mark Derosa breakdown Dodgers beat Orioles 6-4 | MLB Network

uh who wants to go to Los Angeles for a very special day how long would you wait in line for not this long zero minutes this yeah no not this doesn't get me going so got waed for eight hours for show Otani bobblehead and his famous pup is maybe the most trained dog I've ever seen even he strikes is it AI the dog I'm think the dog is there I don't know it's bizarre to me why is it so trained he saying it's like an animatronic yeah there's something that we can't totally figure out with Otani if people wait a half day for you you got to put on a show on another level playing a different game how did that go out he's got his rump out he's just flicking the B something's off that's AI what is the B the dog or shg are you saying sh is AI he could be Herona Ria is not off he is hotter than hot this is the most locked in he's been at the plate and it plays out here in RBI double down the right line yeah and the Orioles Take the Lead two to one is this real is this AI I don't now I'm all he steals we're we're gonna get into it dominating the game can I tell you about tasar Hernandez because he is one of the offseason moves that is not mentioned nearly 28 28 homers Corbin Burns had a really rough August yeah Orioles uh three errors last night yes Otani bottom of the fifth keep going you don't have to tell him twice just picking picking him up where we going stealing bags next batter Gavin Lux Dodger ground ball Otani score 64 over the Orioles Otani postgame hle I think I was more nervous with the ceremonial pitch than decoy I'm glad that everything went well how long did he have to train him to get to do what he did was was very special moment three weeks and then lastly how important is it for you to contribute with the bat with the legs against a very tough pitcher in so many F games right now and you know we knew going into the game that this was going to be a touch tough lineup or a tough uh pitcher to face but we really collectively did really well against him today D just says he can't get his dog to sit I have three Doodles at the house and they'll literally just like run rough shot I can't get I can't get Doug to go on a walk with me they're dropping heat in the in the downstairs bedroom and decoy is throwing out first pictures it's a scam I'm telling you the dog's AI it's not if you don't think I go down some wormholes at night in my apartment look at this uh most still inv bases in a 40 Homer season he's been caught stealing four times can't believe I'm asking you this but 50/50 he's going 5050 the question's being asked and I think we asked it what what's what's would you rather attain the Aaron judge hit 63 homers or go 50/50 and I I I think you always want to be the Home Run champ but the 50/50 is just so ridiculous yeah just I think the beauty of sh and why I want to talk about him a little bit is that obviously with the arm injury he's not pitching so Eric nay just comes in my office and basically said if sh's got time to work on something he becomes one of the best in the world at it like he decided I'm going to steal more bags this year not only is he stealing more bags but he doesn't get thrown out right and the sheer power where he's hitting balls to in Dodger Stadium playing there for 15 years prodigious they're prodigious blasts while rehabbing his arm yeah and he's training dogs too no he's not allegedly he is is that really his dog or is that trained at the circus and they give it to him I don't know let's get into it What circus is training dogs I don't know but let's get into some details there was a couple things in this game that stood out to me obviously show Otani with the power and speed like I said Corbin Burns this is a back door breaking ball that his tush is pointed towards the first base Dugout and he flicks his wrist carries it walks decoy down the line and this is a no doubter and he knows he Clips it from jump so let's get it go and then next day B rooster little fade change up down and away and he just absolutely roasts it to right field now we're going to steal bags it will so we're going to steal third and what I love about this in a double steal mookie bets is totally locked in on what sh oani is doing at second base almost waiting for him to go soon as he went he was on top of it and I just want to go back throughout the year left on left AJ Minter 464 ft in the eighth inning cutter Crawford where does this land 73t what Ian he's leaving oh and then Austin gber yeah everything flies a little further in Denver yeah there's turbulence on that one that ball was crushed and then the ability to steal bags so it was just pure from jump bottom of the first home runoff Burns steal a couple bags let everyone in the world know that outside of Aaron judge it's me in the National League and you take a look from 21 to La look at the stolen bases look at the attempts and the percentage of being successful so when he goes he's safe and he's got pop for days it's pretty crazy next next to judge he is we'll get into it and next year he's going to what he's going to strike out 235 batters look at this season stats with MLB ranks among qualifiers homers he's second bag second slug second total bases he third weighted run created plus he's fourth and War he's Sixth and that's without pitching if he's pitching he's first by a mile so it's pretty unbelievable we'll start with shohi second thing when you do the landscape of the Baltimore Orioles yeah they have so many infielders right gunar Henderson and Westberg went down you have Jackson holiday Kobe Mayo next year that it's easy to imagine a potential time where gunar Henderson might move to third okay and the reason I'm bringing this up is watching him last night I wanted to dive in on his defensive metrics because he plays a whale of a short stop he really does and I know any short stop worth his salt wants to stay there and never be moved and when I'm watching him big bodied 6'2 6' three it reminds you of Cal Ripken Jr so he's got the arm strength to handle it he's got the range to handle it and he made it look easy I know he made an error last night was a back backand massay up the middle that 99% of League's making an error on I just wanted to give him his love a little bit at defense especially shortstop because it's so quick to say big body he profiles it third they did it with Cory Seager and he's stood to test the time at short and I know Gunner feels the same way he's 12th in defensive run saved at Short Stop okay I I mean 12 DRS at Short which puts him eigh and he's got a 90 mph average arm strength at Short which is fourth so he can certainly stay there for the foreseeable future it was very impressive last night he made all the plays and the third thing I noticed as I drifted off to sleep at about 1 in the morning is Michael copc got an electric heater yeah and I know we lost sight of him some of these Savvy Chicago White Sox guys that ped the youngs in Kansas City on Down the Line Eloy Jimenez has gotten some hits and some platoon starts with the Orioles but Michael copc is raring back throwing 98 to 100 miles an hour he dirtballs 89 and then says you know what get out of town Colton cowser here's a 100 at the top of the Zone I dove in on the pitch usage with Eric nay difference between him and what with the Chicago White Soxs and now there's maybe a Ticky Tac change in Cutter usage is up a little bit with the Dodgers but I'm telling you when in doubt it's a Cote forse right at you and he's telling it's coming so Evan Phillips the Trin of the world you put copc back there they start to imagine this doc Roberts can certainly have a nasty Bullpen Stuff Plus leaders among relievers this season Mason Miller the Grim Reaper at the top right cl's in third Tanner Scott and there's copek it is nasty stuff 100 miles an hour right down your throat Dodgers and Orioles continue that Series tonight at Dodgers Stadium meantime one of the two teams in the National League West chasing the Dodgers the Diamondbacks and Padre's of course let's start with the Diamondbacks crazy game here tonight last night against the Mets Young Jock wow off Luis srino what's the height on this 600 feet something like that he's got yellow I mean everything is working for Jack Peterson is 21st and the Diamondbacks have a three- nothing lead then Corbin Carroll again off sevino sevino had been really pretty good really good coming into this start home run number 16 and it's a 4 nothing diamondb lead however in the fifth they get to Eduardo Rodriguez Harrison Bader that B's killed his 10th on the year and we're tied at four but in the bottom of the eighth they brought in Edwin Diaz for a four out save uh he ended up having some walks there and got it sliders just rolling through the zone Corin Carroll the goahead Grand Slam it's a multihomer game for Corin Carroll and the Diamondbacks come back to even this three- game set at a game a piece 8 to five over the Mets all right so look at Corbin Carroll in the last 20 games Dro and Dan oow breaking the differences in his swing down yesterday if you haven't if you didn't see it you should definitely take a look at it find it online somewhere uh people were you know commenting on it and you know Edwin Diaz rides the roller coaster huh yeah he does he's kind of going through it right now but right now it's a good it's a good moment for Corbin Carroll in his last 20 games nine homers the Ops over a th and he scored 23 runs next for oh there is a speed bump on the front this is a child protected area slow down less than 30 km speed bump on the front oh
