I love Ohtani. He's such a man. He could have taken the easier way out and open up his pitching against the Nationals, Rockies or the White Sox. But he mans up and takes on the top of the order of the Padres.
Ohtani is an old school competitor. He doesn't preen or prance or talk shit. He gets beat up a bit in his first inning and owns it.
And then he goes out and drives in the tying run to make up for his underperformance (even though it is a rehab start basically).
I tip my cap to him, even as a Mets fan. I can see why the Dodgers love him in the clubhouse. If you have a guy like Ohtani in there, you know that all the divos (male divas) like Rafael Devers just don't make it.
