    Thru 19 at-bats they have been proven spectacularly wrong.

    Let's see where things stand after 50 at-bats, and then 150.

    But they were spectacularly wrong now that stats count.

    The home run against the 2-time Cy Young Award winner?

    Meh, the pitcher fucked up. Had nothing to do with the hitter hitting it over the wall.

    They may turn out to have been "spectacularly wrong." But we don't know that yet. He has only batted 19 times. Their opinion was that his bat was "not good." We have evidence that they were wrong, but not proof. He has only batted 19 times.

    What is your point? Bad hitters hit home runs against good pitchers sometimes. Tuffy Rhodes hit three home runs off of Dwight Gooden on Opening Day. Craig Grebeck and Ozzie Guillen went back-to-back off of Nolan Ryan.

    LOL but never hit homers in 3 straight games. Loser.

    One thing we can all agree on, we've found our Five Inning Jake of 2018.

    What was more spectacular, her tits or how wrong the baseball experts were about Ohtani?

    Look, this is a very, very narrow point I'm making:

    Poin declared the scouts to have been "proven ... spectacularly wrong."

    I do not agree that they have been thus proven at this point, as Ohtani has only batted 19 times and pitched twice.

    Whether or not they will eventually be proven "spectacularly wrong" is of no consequence. They have not yet.

    Scouts judge Ohtani based on 14 plate appearances during Spring Training and Dickie is fine with it.

    Anybody dares to even bring up what Ohtani has done with 19 at-bats during the regular season and Dickie starts crying about tiny sample sizes.

    Hypocritical, dishonest Dickie who will tie himself into complex and ridiculous rhetorical knots rather than ever concede a point is not my favorite Dickie.

    "I was paying attention to the score, but I wasn't paying attention to how many hits they had," Yost said. "I looked up and saw he had a no-hitter and I was completely oblivious to it."

    Knock me over with a feather.
