Miami – destroying hardball in October never decorated this place, but at least the magic of Shohei Otani.
Since the opening in 2012, 1014 regular season contests have been held in Miami’s Loandepot Park. And yet, in addition to the temporary, they abandoned Sacramento and Tampa, this is the only active MLB ball that never held the game after the season.

And since constantly recovering gauze, in general, are constantly restored, this futuristic, Southern Florida colossus quite often has less than 10,000 souls under its retractable roof. This, with the exception of the electrifying atmosphere of the world baseball classics, echo-hey, without a stressed house of baseball with low rates.
Except that when Otani comes to the city.
On Monday, DH Dodgers’ DH was deep in Miami for the fifth time for only six career games here. His fifth Inning shot at the Sandy Hyantara heater with a pipeline, he took off the KPZ in Los Angeles on a colossal 117.9 miles per hour, making it the hardest ball this season and the most heavy home run in MLB this year.

This two-time laser gave current champions the advantage with a score of 5: 1, the leadership that they kept safe on the way to victory 7-4. It was their eighth victory in their last nine games, and Otani, again was in the center of action.
“Really good memories, just with achievements last year and a game of WBC,” Okhtani told reporters after the game, through the translator of Will Ireton. “You know, today we had a really good game. So, indeed, this is one of my favorite stadiums. ”
Yes, it is extremely strange that many of the brightest moments from the brightest sport star occurred here, in a building that is more like an abandoned Chernobyl water center than a professional sports hall. It was reported that 15,395 was present at the game on Monday, celebrating the largest crowd on weekdays in the Marlins season. The atmosphere was far from the atmosphere of Otan’s home park, since the second and third deck in Loandepot were almost completely vacant, the product of the annual status of a rug in Miami.

For context, Marlins (13-21) scored 40 097 fans last weekend for collecting three games against athletics. Dodgers (24-11) had declared attendance 47 192 for their last home game (which turned out to be against Miami). This is another sign of a huge canyon between these two organizations that are at the opposite ends of the financial spectrum of baseball. Currently, Marlins have a salary of about $ 69 million, while Dodgers large expenses are much higher than $ 450 million between contracts and luxurious tax payments.
None of this passed through the mind of Okhtani – on Monday, it is from a strictly delayed contract of $ 700 million. The magnificent feats of the global superstar in this very obscene environment have become an inevitable part of its legend. During the WBC 2023, Okhtani spoke with legendary performances to transfer Japan to the third title. In the semifinals, he launched a double leader in the lower part of the ninth Inning to lead the magnificent return against Mexico, and then, as you know, he closed the final with the out of the then teammate Mike Trauta.
In September last year, Otani turned perhaps the greatest attacking game in the history of MLB. Three-time MVP participated in the competition on September 19 against Marlins with 48 Home-Ranes and 49 interceptions, trying to become the first player in 50/50 baseball. On that day, as a showman, Otani walked 6-B-6, with three Homers and two interceptions.

And on Monday, in his first game in the “Depot” from the date of receipt of history, Otan continued his board of dominance of the Daid district. Now he has an absurd .370/.433/1.000 Vatin line in Miami. Домашний уход от Алькантары, как и многие домашние пробежки Отани, был внушающим страх, ооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооолет. The sound was sharp, turning his head and immediately, like a whip, cracking from the surface of the lake.
“I am sure that (him) led me with my exit,” Okhtani humblyly explained humbly after the game through Ireton, when he was asked what it was so qualified to connect with the ball. “And you know, I was glad that I could do it again.”
Compared to his previous achievements in Miami, on Monday, in May, a shot in Okhtan against the humble team of Marlins carries a much less dramatic raising or narration of Pizazz. On this day, there were no records, beaten either a plateau, or trophies rose.
Just the talent of generations, which does its job at the stadium, which in some way has become his personal baseball playground.
