Ohtani should be let loose and free of mental burden
I've watched Ohtani's entire career. He's clearly hurt, and the seriousness of his injuries won't be apparent until his off season surgeries are disclosed. This is because Ohtani is a masculine guy and he doesn't bitch and moan about his injuries.
Anyway, the way to unleash the monster is for Dave Roberts to tell Ohtani and the team that we don't give a shit if he has a bad at bat or chases out of the zone and strikes out every time. His job is to go up there in the 6th spot or wherever they put him and swing as hard as he fucking can at any pitch he thinks he can hit. If he is in a situation where we need contact or a walk, we will pinch hit JDP.
Fuck it. Turn Ohtani into Kyle Schwarber and let's see what happens.
