Da Braves seem to have become "woke".  They went 17 straight alternating Ws and Ls.

What's with the Rays attendance woes? 

Not only are they in first place but the city is working on a hat trick, with a Super Bowl and a Stanley Cup already in this calendar year.

Has anyone ever seen a season by a player like Ohtani is having?  Babe Ruth might be closest.

It's the greatest combination of expert pitching and power hitting that MLB has ever seen.
His BA isn't very good though.

Re the earlier comparison to Ruth, the Babe's career B.A. was something like .342, IIRC.

Shohei Ohtani is your new Angel's club leader, surpassing Reggie Jackson's 1982 total (39) for the most home runs in a single season by a left-hander.

The Brewers score a run on a SF, only the output wasn't more than a few paces from the Brewers dugout.    Nats catcher napping and nobody covered the plate.  Wong won the foot race.

You're completely ignoring the context.  This year is akin to 1968 - the year of the pitcher, when it comes to batting averages.  
.270 is the new .300.  
.
Ohtani is having the best pitching+hitting year ever.  Ruth was more a pitcher THEN a hitter.......and there were some great hitting-pitchers in the 50s and 60s, but with relatively low plate appearances.
.
Ohatni's 2021 season is basically unprecedented.

I'm was not trying to downgrade Ohatni's year.  It's an unprecendented combo of pitching and power hitting.
So Ohatni is hitting the equivalent of .300.
But the Babe hit over .340 for his entire career.
Just saying.
