Ohtani vs Trout for all the marbles. You couldn’t write a better script if you tried. The game winning pitch from Ohtani, an 87 mph off speed slider on a full count with 2 outs. Ridiculous. The game itself was a key reason why most MLB players opted in to this year’s tournament and elevated the overall prestige of the WBC. “These two players will comeback to play in the same team, but one with a trophy.” Iconic call. Instant classic.

Not only a legendary ending to an iconic WBC, but also a game that officially indicated the changing of the guard. That final at-bat was straight out of a movie. Mike Trout, the clear-cut best player of the 2010s vs. Shohei Ohtani, poised to become the clear-cut best player of the 2020s. Don’t forget, this was when they were still teammates on the Angels so it was a matchup we had never seen in a competitive setting. Ohtani striking out Trout swinging was the perfect way to end this game and officially pass the torch. The Angels deserve sanctions for their crimes while having those two together. Ironically, neither played a significant role before the ending. The USA generated more hits, but couldn’t get more than 2 runs from a couple solo shots. Meanwhile, Japan got less chances but made the absolute best of it thanks to Murakami and Okamoto. Instead, this was a tight pitching battle between these stacked rosters and of course it was the unicorn Ohtani who saved the day for Japan.

FLAMES HOCKEY IS BACK BABY AND DUSTIN WOLF IS RESTED! Yes, it is whiplash going from Olympic hockey to Flames hockey, only dozens of people have brought it up. Jokes aside, we got a wonderful goalie duel between 2 young studs. The Olympic break did good things for Wolf and Askarov as they both came in ready to go. The Flames’ skaters did not come in ready to go as the Sharks were all over the Flames, peppering Wolf with shots, if not for him, the Sharks jump to an early lead. Instead, it was 0-0 after 1, but former Flame Tyler Toffoli who broke the deadlock with a tip. The Sharks continued to apply pressure and Wolf continued to stand strong. Nazem Kadri would turn this game when he beat Askarov above his glove and tied the game. The Flames carried that momentum into the 3rd, outplayed the Sharks and made a tied game into a 4-1 victory thanks to Zary, Kadri and a Backlund empty netter. I greatly appreciate Nazem Kadri raising his trade value. Hopefully he gets a chance to compete.
