As a football guy who knows nothing about baseball, I appreciate the football analogy for this Ohtani dude. Really put into perspective how good he is at baseball shout-out to him.
I know nothing about baseball, but that Mahomes Sauce comparison really put in perspective how great this guy is, glad to hear more than just football ana basketball topics as well
Go Japan! They were 3rd favorite of mine to win it. I figured it would be USA vs. Dominican honestly. Congratulations to the best cartoonists and baseball players apparently 👏
Because before MLB started signing foreign players, Americans were the best players in the world. Now, teams are made up of great players from all over the world plus Americans. The WBC is the true "world championship", because teams from different countries compete to see who is the best. The World Series, on the other hand, is nothing more than rich owners playing with their monopoly money to see who can buy the best players. Instead of being called the "World Series", it should be called "MLB Championship".
Colin gets it. Ohtani's greatness strains analogy. Will be amazing to see him play with Mookie on a team that knows how to win. Just wish it was in Boston! 😫
I didn't even know Colin Cowherd was even capable of talking about baseball. I guess this is the last baseball talk we will hear for the next 12 months.
Not that he's wrong, but the Eagles couldn't stop Mahomes in the second half cuz their D coordinator was abysmal at scheming a lead. You can't jump up by 17 and pray in this league and that's what what's his face did all last season. Not even an eagles fan but you ask them they'll probably agree with me.
I think he could actually go to the Mets, forget current payroll, when your owner is working with essentially monopoly money anybody looks like a viable option
When Deion played both ways in Dallas is the only football comp I can think of. Crazy thing is we've had several NBA comps for years, mainly starting with one Michael Jordan.
Superstar has something. Something super unusual. Shohei vs Mike at the very last moment, of course. And, one more! Shohei hit home-run,and the ball landed his own pictured advertisement board at the end of the Tokyo Dome in this WBC. It reminds me Tiger's masters. The putting ball was about to falling to the hole, but it looked about to stop. But! The ball started to fall into the holel showing off its NIKE sign on it. It was great moment! Kind of like that!
It’s funny, everyone is talking about a huge pay day for him with the top offer winning but I’m not so sure . If you look at his history he left $198 million on the table to leave Japan to play in America. His mum put him on pocket money to live on, think it was like $4000.00 a month of which he only spent $1,000 per month while he was already earning millions. I just think his motivations are not monetary, he loves the game and a team that can offer him the best baseball experience might just land him at half the price being talked about. If anything a lot more teams in the league might have a better chance to get him if they can come up with the right Baseball first proposal.
Yankees will get him no doubt about it. Dodgers can get more attendees but Yankees generate more money by a wide margin. 550-650 million contract over 9-10 years
Oh pleezeee, not the Dodgers! What is wrong with the Angels owner? Ohtani & Trout and you don't make the playoffs? Spend the money and get the pitching and the players!
Colin saying today's NBA is a 1000 times better is easily one of his most trash takes.. it's become glorified AAU ball and the declining ratings reflect that..
Exactly we been told all these years how much the game has progressed to bigger faster stronger when in reality it's softer weaker fragile than ever before load management is a prime example
As a Dodger fan, I would love to get him, but given how many guys they let go, not sure they will be any closer to winning another ring. This sounds like the investment bank ownership just wanting to make money and make the playoffs, rather than building a true title team.
People say that the story would have been good either way. Whether Mike or Ohtani won. Cus Mike at the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs was the classic scenario that would have been amazing to turn around. But Mike has already been sealed as the GOAT before Ohtani. Ohtani in his position with Japan on his back was a bigger of an underdog story. And the pay off wouldn't have been better if Mike had won. It would have been a great story but not a legendary story.
Ehhh I looove me some Ohtani, but, he is not a “significantly” better hitter than every other hitter, and “significantly” better pitcher than every other pitcher, what he does makes him a unicorn, and he is the best overall player in the game right now, but, not individually on each category.
You baseball will be the one that has the most media coverage. "BUT NOT THE BEST" Apart from the fact that they range from fraudulent tactics with the "MLB Re$triction$ on how many innings players can play" And if not ask Venezuela. "JAPAN HAS NO RE$TRICTION$"
He hasn't got the angels to the playoffs including Mike trout . Baseball is less about individual great talent but more about overall good talent across the board . That's what wins in baseball . Yes a great player can fill seats but a winning team fills up more seats . Trade him and trout and get a bunch of good team chemistry building players .
Get Lamar. He can do more with less. Mac Jones, needs a boatload of talent, offensive line, and he's too erratic with ball in key moments and when pressured. He was spoiled at Alabama and has a low ceiling. Lamar, is dangerous always with the ball.
Yeah but the upcoming tv deal apocalypse will hurt those teams’ income way more than it will to the dodgers. Plus both of them just shelled out a ton already.
@@abc_12333 What good free agent receivers would go to a team where the QB is more likely to run than throw & isn’t that great a passer anyway? If LJ gets the $ he wants then BALT certainly couldn’t afford top-notch WRs.
@@45rudiger Lamar led the entire league in PASSING TDs in his MVP year. If you watched last year's games, you would've seen his 50+ passes to Bateman. Lamar can definitely pass!
Until ohtani can carry a team on his back the way judge did last year he’s not the best player he’s never won the cy young yet he’s won an mvp but until he can win both and carry a team on his back who has arguably the 2 of the 3 best players in the American League he’s not greater than Ruth he’s not greater than hank he’s not greater than mays or mantle or even jeter he hasn’t won nothing yet
Watch Flippin Bats with Ben Verlander: foxs.pt/flipbats
Ohtani is so transcendently great that we never tire of hearing about how great he is ;) no such thing as hero fatigue when it comes to this guy
Idk that Jordan guy was pretty popular for a while
@@Electro_Patronum I still think he's goated
*There was hero fatigue, if there wasn’t, he would have and should have won last season MVP*
He's nothing but a TRAITOR. He should be banned from entering America
@@kevinqn3221 still can’t ignore judge 62 homer historical season. But no doubt, Ohtani is the best player on the planet
As a football guy who knows nothing about baseball, I appreciate the football analogy for this Ohtani dude. Really put into perspective how good he is at baseball shout-out to him.
It's like you're starting QB also playing middle linebacker.
@@cnh1710 and also being one of the best in each of those roles. Insane!
@@hgft274 hes like one of those main character in a Japanese baseball manga.
"Everywhere, Shohei Ohtani, All At Once"
HA! great comment
Glad Colin finally realized who Shohei Ohtani is
He's been praising Ohtani for a long time. He did a video where he claimed Ohtani is better than Ruth.
$600m for Ohtani is fair business
Kudos for discussing baseball.
Colin nailed it! Great take.
I know nothing about baseball, but that Mahomes Sauce comparison really put in perspective how great this guy is, glad to hear more than just football ana basketball topics as well
Could there be an argument that Shohei has done enough already or maybe one or two more seasons at this level to be in the hall of fame?
considering hes the most complete and best baseball player to ever live how can u not put him in cooperfield.
There is no argument... YES
Go Japan! They were 3rd favorite of mine to win it. I figured it would be USA vs. Dominican honestly. Congratulations to the best cartoonists and baseball players apparently 👏
and electronics makers and video game designers
The only comp to Shohei Ohtani is in another bat and ball sport- cricket. Garry Sobers was the original Ohtani
Jacque kallis - batting bowling and fielding top 10 player! Man was filth
I see him as a Met. Cohen will do whatever it takes to get this guy in Queens NY
Finally talking about some baseball!
Took it forever to be interesting for a night
Everyone jacking up 3s and swinging for home runs is boring to watch. Neither game is better today. That’s a goofy take.
He is what Michael Jordan was in the NBA. in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Why do they call it the WORLD SERIES? THE WORLD CHAMPION?
Because before MLB started signing foreign players, Americans were the best players in the world. Now, teams are made up of great players from all over the world plus Americans. The WBC is the true "world championship", because teams from different countries compete to see who is the best.

As a Pat's fan, this would be awesome!
In all of sports talk, is there a more irritating personality or grating voice than Jason Mcintyre?
Mid 80s Cardinals was the most fun baseball ever was. Just watching them fly
Saying that the NBA is better now is a laughable matter...
Ohtani could go to the Mets as well
The Angels of New York? Nah.
This is why Colin is the clearest thinking sports talking head in the country !
Colin gets it. Ohtani's greatness strains analogy. Will be amazing to see him play with Mookie on a team that knows how to win. Just wish it was in Boston! 😫
He's the player from Star Trek Deep Space 9: Buc Bo Kai

Always love listening to cowherd talk about baseball 🎉
Great take C!!!
Hopefully I see him Monday vs dodgers
Colin teeeeeechnically Mac Jones was the last offensive Pro Bowler they drafted 👀😆😂
You can't compare football to baseball. There's so much more downtime in baseball for a player
Colin loves to hear himself talk. Ohtani is not going to the Dodgers
It's been a forgone conclusion that he'll be a Dodger for a couple years now. I only say this so you don't get too excited.
Let's go Braves, please get this man
When Deion played both ways in Dallas is the only football comp I can think of. Crazy thing is we've had several NBA comps for years, mainly starting with one Michael Jordan.
Differenve is in basketball everybody plays both sides. Its not the same in other sports. And I’m somebody who isn’t a baseball fan
Say it Colin !! That’s what I want to hear! Ohtani to the Dodgers !!
Give the guy his $$$$
Shoutout to Colin for talking about baseball!
Now please, never talk about it again. 😂
Offense Drafted by NE how was in the Pro Bowl is Mac Jones👀

@The Herd what station on IHeart Radio do your live show come on?
Writers who voted for Judge over him for MVP should have their vote stripped.

If Sauce Gardner and Mahomes were one person 😬😬😬

Yankees fans hate this man.

METS getting Shohei
Japanese players look good in Dodger blue
Oh I get it, Chris Paul is really talented but he never wins in the postseason, just like Lamar
Sorry guys he will stay with angels just like Ichiro stayed with Mariners. His goal is to make Angels top with Trout.
Nope, this is the year. No playoff, no Ohtani
As a Dodger fan, I would love to get him, but given how many guys they let go, not sure they will be any closer to winning another ring. This sounds like the investment bank ownership just wanting to make money and make the playoffs, rather than building a true title team.
Aaron judge?
mlb needs a salary cap
People say that the story would have been good either way. Whether Mike or Ohtani won.

Mac to Minnesota to take over for expensive cousins?
So dion sanders 😂
Why is it good for Lamar to go to a team that is bad at offense? He needs a dynamic offensive coach.
We got our one baseball "segment" every 6 months!!!!
Welcome to the Dodgers
This guys get caught in the moment every-time
Like Wentz being the best QB ever 😅
Better than Sam Darnold? He is sometimes‘divorced’ from rationality.
600 million and the Angels still suck is crazy
Lamar is definitely better than Mac Jones, but no way the Pats take on that salary hit when they could spend it elsewhere
The Big Red machine is the greatest team ever lol
I wonder if Shohei is going to make an Anime like Space Jam. I am pretty sure he'll be much better than Lebron.
okay? if patriot offense is so bad with no players...why would/should jackson go there?
Mac jones and Damien Harris have both been pro bowlers
To be fair Mac was like the third alternate
Cant wait till Ohtani doesn’t go to the Dodgers so Colin can day he wasn’t worth it😂
John Starks couldn’t SHOOT??? Bruh your era-comparison is way off. But ya Otani is ridiculous
Lamar has been a no brainer for New England for years in the run up to right now. Lamar and D Hop make it happen.
I could see mac jones in Nashville if NE goes for Lamar
Or Baltimore....ya quack
Lamar Jackson patriots QB1 Baby!
Ehhh I looove me some Ohtani, but, he is not a “significantly” better hitter than every other hitter, and “significantly” better pitcher than every other pitcher, what he does makes him a unicorn, and he is the best overall player in the game right now, but, not individually on each category.
Great take
Lol Ohtani is a career .267 hitter and he's 'Ted Williams' as a batter now?
Why aren't more Japanese in the MLB?
USA calls the MLB final that is ONLY in the US the "WORLD Series". That should answer your question.
😂1000 times better?😂
You baseball will be the one that has the most media coverage. "BUT NOT THE BEST"
Apart from the fact that they range from fraudulent tactics with the
"MLB Re$triction$ on how many innings players can play"

Ya he's great but let me know when he hits more home runs than other teams, such a prisoner of the moment, embarrassing

Get Lamar. He can do more with less. Mac Jones, needs a boatload of talent, offensive line, and he's too erratic with ball in key moments and when pressured. He was spoiled at Alabama and has a low ceiling. Lamar, is dangerous always with the ball.
😂@Angels franchise
This man acting like the Mets and Padres can’t outbid the Dodgers for Ohtani. The Mets are literally already getting ready to give him offers
Yeah but the upcoming tv deal apocalypse will hurt those teams’ income way more than it will to the dodgers. Plus both of them just shelled out a ton already.
"BAD MOJO" cowherd is Wrong most of all the time but he talks with a condescending tone as he weren´t which makes him Insufferable.
