Shohei Ohtani Makes MLB History with 50-50 Milestone:

Shohei Ohtani Achieves Historic 50-50 Milestone with Spectacular Game

MIAMI (AP) — Shohei Ohtani put on a dazzling display on Thursday, solidifying his place in Major League history by becoming the first player to achieve at least 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar captivated a cheering crowd at LoanDepot Park, where fans chanted “M-V-P!” as he rounded the bases after his 50th home run.

Ohtani’s milestone came in a remarkable game that saw him hit three home runs and steal two bases, contributing to the Dodgers’ 20-4 rout of the Miami Marlins. His performance not only highlighted his exceptional talent but also secured a playoff spot for the Dodgers.

“I almost cried, to be honest,” said Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas. “It was a lot of emotions because of everything that happens behind the scenes that we got to witness every single day.”

A Record-Setting Performance

Ohtani, who finished the game with a perfect 6-for-6 at the plate and a staggering 10 RBIs, hit his 49th home run in the sixth inning and followed it up with his 50th in the seventh. He capped off the night with his 51st home run in the ninth. His home runs showcased impressive power, with two shots reaching the second deck in right-center.

“I have no idea where this came from, but I’m glad that it was going well today,” Ohtani remarked after the game.

This performance allowed Ohtani to surpass the Dodgers’ franchise record of 49 home runs, previously set by Shawn Green in 2001. He also became only the third player in MLB history to record at least six hits, three homers, and 10 RBIs in a single game, joining legends Walker Cooper and Anthony Rendon.

The Journey to 50-50

Entering the game with 48 home runs and 49 stolen bases, Ohtani quickly swiped his 50th base in the first inning and added another steal in the second. He has been successful in his last 28 stolen base attempts.

Ohtani reached the 50-50 milestone in his 150th game of the season, having already made history as the fastest player to reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases, accomplishing that feat in just 126 games. His previous career high for home runs was 46 during the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Angels.

A Memorable Venue

Thursday’s game added to Ohtani's memorable moments at LoanDepot Park, where he previously struck out then-Angels teammate Mike Trout to clinch the 2023 World Baseball Classic championship for Japan.

“This stadium has become one of my favorite stadiums,” Ohtani said, reflecting on his history in Miami.

Future Prospects

Having signed a $700 million, 10-year deal with the Dodgers last December, Ohtani has focused on hitting this season while recovering from elbow surgery. He has played exclusively as a designated hitter and is now poised to lead the Dodgers into the postseason—a milestone he never reached with the Angels.

As the Dodgers prepare for October, Ohtani is also a frontrunner for National League MVP honors, potentially making history as the first player primarily playing as a DH to win the award.

His teammates have expressed admiration for Ohtani’s consistent performance. “Every night I feel like he does something that we haven’t seen,” said third baseman Max Muncy.

As Ohtani continues to break records and captivate fans, the baseball world eagerly anticipates what he will achieve next.

Labor, on its own, has no inherent value. The willingness or ability to labor does not translate to virtue. It can confer financial value, since everyone should be compensated for their labor, but it absolutely does not have inherent moral value.

Disabled people are not obligated to perform for you. They are not required, morally, to break themselves in order to earn some sort of personal value and prove their "worth" to society. They do not need to exhaust every possible means of survival to warrant aid, or spend the entirety of their existence pursuing the same amount of production as others even though it takes everything they have and leaves no room for anything else. They are not obligated to push their limits.

If that pisses you off because YOU have to work to the limit, or beyond, your problem is that you are not being paid enough or you are being asked to do the work of more than one person. Not that disabled people get help for "nothing".

You deserve better, too, you lovable dingus! Every single thing that benefits disabled people will benefit you and the ones you love, either immediately, or eventually. All of it!

Wouldn't squirrels be a really god observation morph? As I saw a page point out for Squirrel Girl, Squirrels are pretty much everywhere.

Yes! We see the Animorphs use squirrel that way a little in #35 and #4 — their dexterous "hands" and banality come in handy. That said, I don't know that squirrel nets a huge advantage over seagull or housefly.

Gulls are everywhere outside (it being a beach town) and seen as uninteresting as squirrels, BUT they're better able to escape, more known for approaching humans, and eaten by predators less often. Flies are more vulnerable BUT they're one of very few animals that can move around inside without humans killing, evicting, or even noticing them much of the time. Which is why we see gull or fly morph used in almost every book, more than any other group morphs except maybe raptor.

Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)

"And they didn't make much mess?"

"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."

"Ah. Big mistake."

"What is?"

"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."

"I'll remember."

I don't have a lot of energy these days [because of The Horrors] so I'm looking at my day and my priorities and trying to plan how I'm going to spend what energy I have, because I do need to be able to rest and relax but there are also things that need doing and that is a careful balance for me.

I managed to [mostly] clean the kitchen last night so I've kicked it out of the priority list until next weekend. Unfortunately the living room, bathroom, bedroom, and my office all need cleaning too. I think of the priorities, my office and the bedroom are the most important to me, so I'll probably push the living room and bathroom until at least Friday.

There's also the laundry. I don't have any clean clothes and as we're moving into winter I need to be more rigid about getting that done because days where the clothes can be dried on the line will be more limited. So I definitely need to wash an outfit or two and hang them up in the next hour.

That's already a really busy day, so I'll probably cut it there. But it's definitely going to still leave me a lot of work this week. Half my cleaning, at least one more round of laundry, settling dog food for the next couple of weeks, planting the fall/winter greens, doing some set up work on my computer, work on some writing projects, cleaning out the fridge, and patching some worn clothes. My work week isn't insane atm, but it is definitely limiting. Right now I have 6+4+0+4+2+5+5= 25 non work/non-survival needs (sleep, food, shower, etc) hours available each week. I need to figure out a regukar distribution of these that means everything is getting done and I still have an hour a day to myself as often as possible. I think it's probably not realistic to give myself more than an hour a day for free time/fun, which is a bit unfortunate because I've found in the past that my floor tends to be getting 2-3hrs of free time most days because of how I deal with transition and decision-making.

25-7 [1hr per day] is 18 hrs, so I just need to decide where and how to distribute those in order to keep pace with things.

Lets say the garden needs 3hrs per week, the laundry needs 4 hours (specifically 2 sets of 2 morning/early afternoon hours), the cleaning needs an hour a day to get through a maintenance clean of the house, and 3 hours once a week to work down any deep cleaning that's built up. Which is....already three more hours than I actually have each week. So I guess I'll make a plan to work in the garden for 20-40min of 4 of my free hours each week.

It really doesn't leave me any wiggle room. Only about 4 hours a week that isn't explicitly allotted to something that needs doing, which means there will probably me a lot of weeks where I only get an hour or so at best across the whole thing for free time. I guess I've had a hard time accepting that at this point, having actual time for myself or a time-intensive project is only available if I've taken a day off work. I love my job, but it's ... not comfortable to realize that it's the only love in my life I actually have time for anymore.

I think that's probably why I end up here so much. It's this mindless little way of zoning out into my own head, dissociating away from the exhaustion, for a few minutes at a time. I keep thinking I want to use this space differently, make it more if the things I enjoy. But I think what I really want is just to actually have the time and energy to do things I love that take work. I keep crying a few times every day and I couldn't figure out why, but like

I dunno

Why **wouldn't** I cry a little every day? It's the closest I'm getting to actual emotional release or relaxation in my life. We'd probably all cry. Heck. A lot of us probably DO, capitalism being what it is.

I guess I'm starting to wonder why I'm doing what I'm doing. What is there left for me to sacrifice to this life? What is actually serving me about not just letting myself go up like a fireball and take my surroundings with me? What in the ever loving fuck am I fighting this hard for?

All I ever want, all I want now, is to be able to live. To really, actually live. How does wanting to live bring you this close to killing yourself, whether on accident or on purpose? What am I actually doing that is LIVING and what am I doing that is FACILITATION of living? It can't all be facilitation, or I'm not actually facilitating fuck all.

I'm 30 goddamn years old and I need to figure out what it looks like to actually love my life. I fundamentally refuse to zombify myself like this for everyone else around me forever.

both a benefit and the biggest flaw of photography is that if you make a print that is essentially just an original. Which is great that you can reproduce your work infinitely at its maximum quality and everyone can have access to it. However, big artists just aren't going to release affordable prints of their work because of this exact same thing. Theres a lot of painters and print makers you can find that sell affordable reproductions but almost no big name photographers have their work up for sale like that. Its all limited editions 1/100 sort of stuff and it all costs thousands of dollars per print. I get it, art is expensive and we need money to survive but as a photographer myself it sucks so bad that i can't afford prints of my biggest inspirations work even though it would be so easy to set up for them.
