Blue Jays fans spent the first two games of the World Series reminding Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani that they’re doing just fine without him. Ohtani, though, is taking it all in stride. And apparently, so is his wife.
“It was a really great chant, and my wife really appreciated it,” Ohtani joked through team interpreter Will Ireton during the workout day news conference at Dodger Stadium on Sunday.
As for how Ohtani’s dog, Decoy, reacted? That’s anyone’s guess.
With the series tied at one game apiece, Ohtani and the Dodgers will leave the jeers behind as the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Monday night. The Dodgers haven’t played at home since their NLCS clincher against the Brewers on Oct. 17, which saw Ohtani deliver one of the greatest single-game performances in baseball history — hitting three homers while also striking out 10 batters over six scoreless innings on the mound.
Ohtani, who is 2-for-8 with a homer in this World Series, is lined up to take the ball for the Dodgers in Game 4.
