On the ball | Ohtani can’t win and save

“Anyone who dares to go see a psychiatrist, should have their head examined” … Yogi Berra.

Armando Ramírez M. from Rosarito, BC asks…: “If Shohei Ohtani opens a game, they send him to another position in the sixth inning with the scoreboard in his favor for four runs, but in the ninth they bring him back to pitch, already with a two-run lead, and he does all three. outs in a row. Is he a winning pitcher and a savior? “

Mando Friend…: No. Rule 10.20 (2) says that the winner cannot be both a savior. So it would only be a winner.

Ricardo R. Reyes B. from Caracas, considers …: “In the opinion of many, you are crazy. We all work to retire when we turn 65, and you are still so excited when you turn 93. My father tells me that he has read it since he was a child. And not only does he write the daily column, he also sells reports to newspapers and magazines and is interviewed on radio and television. At that age, I would be rocking in a hammock, listening to music by Juan Vicente Torrealba and reading an old Luis Spota novel about Mexican politics. I imagine if he reaches a hundred years old, he will still be in his twenties. Don’t you suffer from arthritis in your fingers, don’t you suffer from sight, don’t your waist hurt, don’t you fall asleep?

Amigo Rico…: I don’t suffer from anything or anything hurts, thanks to the doctors at “La Colonia”. I don’t have a hammock, I hear Juan Vicente while I write and Sopota and other authors I read when I finish writing. Yes I am crazy, but I warn you, it is sensational to be crazy, I enjoy it to the point of introsticoli. And I don’t know the word retirement. Beware of coronavirus and assholes.

Riggio Alexander from Orlando asks…: “As a member of SABR, the Society for American Baseball Research, who do I vote for in the recent elections for a legend of the 19th century?

Friend Yiyo…: By black George Stovey, for first place. The others…: Charlie Bennett, Grant Johnson, Cal McVey and Al Reach.

Vito Leonardo, from Caracas, asks …: “What is simulated play, how much does it look like a real game, and how does it help pitchers?”

Friend Vi…: During the game, and in the bullpen, the pitcher is shooting, from the front or from the side, depending on whoever is in the real action does, but of course, his own types of shots. The coach determines how many innings. It helps to know how recovered the pitcher is after an injury.

Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.
