‘This is insane’ – Dodgers fans are shocked by potential Shohei Ohtani decision for NLCS Game 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the brink of elimination from the postseason in the National League Championship Series. After two games, the Milwaukee Brewers now lead the Dodgers 2-0. The team desperately needs to turn things around, with only two more victories required to advance to the World Series.

Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese all-rounder, has struggled in the postseason. He has failed to hit a single home run and posted just one RBI since August 19, marking a span of 24 consecutive games without a homer. This has left Ohtani fans deeply concerned and questioning the team's decision-making.

According to reporter Ben Rosenthal, the Dodgers may be considering benching Ohtani for Game Three against the Brewers at Dodger Stadium. This potential move has left fans outraged, with some comparing it to benching a legendary player like Babe Ruth. Ohtani has only 30 home runs this season, a significant drop from his career averages of 54 and 55 in the previous two seasons. If he fails to hit another homer, it would be his lowest output since 2020.

Fans are calling the potential decision "insane" and "unbelievable," expressing disbelief at the prospect of benching a player of Ohtani's caliber. With the Dodgers' spending on the team, a lackluster performance would be devastating, especially given their goal of securing three consecutive World Series titles.
