I have enough on my plate just following the National League West division so I'll see him play often.

I will be a white knuckle viewer when Shohei Ohtani climbs the mound against my Giants, but I'm always a white knuckler when we play the Dodgers.

For me, it's gonna be GREAT!

... and will have had two arm surgeries by 2025. As a Giants fan, I'm snickering.

(And yes, I'd have expressed that concern if the Giants signed him ... without the snicker.)
