LA Dodgers Ohtani is the first player since 1906 to be deliberately "walked" 4 at bats in a row.
With his four hits and five walks, he became the first player in World Series history to reach base nine times in one game.
My take on this is that The Blue Jays were pathetic. Not allowing Ohtani to hit runs is akin to cheating.
No more need be said.
It is the same as Football players "taking a dive"

It’s called strategy. Why would a team let a player on the other side bat after he just hit 2 home runs off your pitchers?
The guy is unbelievable, but he will be challenged in the coming seasons. You can’t pitch him inside or down the middle. Thus power hitter needs to be pitched low and on the outside corner.
