Unchecked: MLB Pitchers Need to
Get a Grip
Unchecked: Shohei Ohtani Being Babe Ruth
Should Be a Bigger Deal
As entertaining as these temper tantrums may be, pitchers need to show some maturity.

But until the league and its players find a better solution, pitchers need to pull up their pants and act like big boys.

Shohei Ohtani is baseball's biggest two-way star since Babe Ruth, and MLB should market him accordingly. He's doing things that have only ever been done by Babe Ruth, and since The Babe is the most famous baseball player who ever lived, it shouldn't be hard for MLB to make Ohtani the face of its sport.
