13. If it's pointless why are you even trying?

"But Gibson this"...but "Gibson that". Really? There are better hitting pitchers than Gibson and better pitchers than him as well. This makes no sense.

Yeah, better batting averages than Ohtani sure. He's a power hitter. He doesn't hit for average. And how many of those with higher BAs than Ohtani can hit 55 home runs and steal 55 bases in one season by the way?

You Ohtani "dislikers" twist yourselves into pretzels sometimes. It's sad and funny at the same time. /end
