That was the figure the other day.

Anyone jump in on that? Was higher before the season.

I'm speculating, but that has to be one of the few goals left he has to be shooting for.

    In a few years, they can move him to relief, and he can attempt to break the record for saves in a season. What would be real interesting is if the Dodgers attempted to move him from pitcher to position player and then back to pitcher in the same game. I do not know if that has ever been attempted in the MLB.

    The Reds in 1969 had relief pitcher Wayne Granger in a game….made a pitching change but kept Granger in the game as the left fielder…then changed pitchers again for the next batter…and Granger was back on the mound!

    The St. Louis Cardinals used to swap Todd Worrell and Ken Dayley to get favorable matchups by putting one in RF while the other pitched then swapping.

    Ohtani is also in pursuit of Teddy Ballgame's 84 consecutive on base streak record.... @ 45 games with last nights 1st inning bomb. And I've also heard rumblings that Ohtani has set up a laboratory in his garage looking to cure all forms of cancer..... so a Nobel Prize could be brewing as well. I hope Topps gets some good pics (SSP's) of him in his lab coat. I'll be all over the black chrome refractor.

    Can you imagine. The wins and ERA are possible. If he only throws 165 innings most likely not enough for the strikeout title. Can he get to 185 IP?

    Of course the IP is the biggest limiting factor for the Cy Young, but if his ERA is low enough and he gets to 160 innings, it might not matter.

    Forgot. Hitting leadoff really is the triple crown hurdle for the RBI portion.

    Probably a good way to damage ones arm. Doubt it would be chanced in modern ball?

    With the 3-hitter minimum that's in place now, there's no chance it would ever be tried.
