It is said that baseball gonna baseball. And on Sunday, May 20th, the Year of our Lord 2018, baseball did indeed Baseball. For it was on this day that the phenom, Shohei Ohtani, got the start and was not the talk of the game. That’s because all anybody wanted to talk about was Sergio “The Opener” Romo, making his second “start” in as many days.
This was the first time a pitcher started on back-to-back days since Zack Greinke in 2012. And Grienke was ejected after four pitches in that one, so it’s not that should even count.
