Ohtani and Herget dominate.

Have two cats, but have had many different pets over the years, various dogs and cats,  and even a rabbit and a guinea pig (well, that for my daughter anyway).

Oakland A's commentators in the 9th against the Stankees brought up the Judge/Ohtani MVP discussion and the color commentator talked about Ohtani's win record/era/k's per inning pitched and then said "and I'm looking to find that line for Aaron Judge, but I don't see his ERA, his WHIP, I don't know if it got lost in the paperwork or something but I can't seem to find it..."

Awesome backhand shitting on Judge and anyone who's in question about who should get it.

My dog loves shutouts, but eventually gets bored and falls asleep.  However if she could smell what you are feeding your dog she would wake up real fast!

When this season ends it will be interesting to analyze what went wrong, and what can we do to correct it.  As of now, I think the biggest thing in a nutshell was focusing entirely on pitching, and not balancing it out with depth on offense.  It was like an overcorrection for what we were seeing in the past few seasons.  We now have pitching, and it looks very promising for the next few years if we can keep Ohtani, and add a top tier starte,r plus tweek the bullpen a little.  Now we just have to breathe some life into the offense, and bolster it with better depth to withstand inevitable injuries.

This

Plus, we saw the domino effect in full vision.

Good starting pitching leads to more and more good dusting pitching.

Bad hitting leads to more and more bad hitting.

Bad late innings relief leads to more and more bad late innings relief.

First thing the position players can do after the season is to burn any memories of this season.   Well, unless you are Trout, Ohtani, Rengifo, or Fletcher

Gotta give Herget some love.

51.2 innings, 2.79 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, only 4 HRs, and 49/10 Ks/BBs

The unsung hero in the pen, who is taking well to late innings work.

Imagine that odd delivery and pitch movement amidst a bunch of hard throwers by 2024 at the latest.
