Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge: Who had a better Opening Day? | First Take

Jessica Mendoza and Freddie Coleman debate who shined the brightest on MLB's Opening Day between Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge.

[LegalMind-dswr]

Ohtani’s outing was the 26th since 1901 with 10+ strikeouts and no runs allowed on Opening Day. It’s also the first time that pitcher’s team lost the game. Just Angels being Angels.

Non-Yankees fans don't care about Judge. Ohtani though? Even people who don't watch baseball know him

[JasonJia]

At this point it’s actually funny how often Ohtani is disappointed in his team

[rickdeckard]

It's not that Ohani can't help the team, the team can't help Ohtani, can't score any runs can't close the game, their bull pen SUCKS.

Jessica Mendoza has a crush on Ohtani🥰 me too.
Ohtani is the man! He's not only incredibly good-looking ＆ cool, like a cartoon character.
Jessica's cute like a school girl.🥰

Angels never disappoint us when it comes to disappointing us.

[omgbygollywow]

Shohei doesn't worry about money. He doesn't need the money. It must be demotivating to lose all the time. I think he leaves if the Angels don't make the playoffs.

Man ohtani has to get outta Anaheim. Dude got 10ks gave up 0 runs and they still lost 🤦‍♂️ we’ll gladly take him in Boston tho lol

[recusantvessel]

seriously? Dude hit a homerun and had a single, Ohtani was the only reason his team was in the game LMAO
NY Bias is so hilarious but I guess that's how he got his MVP last year.

[chmbnetworks]

This is going to be a good game I hope they go out and deliver plus more motivation for their teammates for sure.

[BlkFreakozoid]

Get Othani off the Angels. That was sad to watch last night.

[simeonflake]

Freddie's right, we Mets fans are always waiting for that other shoe to drop, or the sky to fall in. I think after last season, I'm going to try and remain calm & wait til September before I explode--provided we are still in the division race with Atlanta....

[Hench]

Neither, the answer is Adley Rutschman

[caseyjones]

STOP COMPARING OHTANI TO OTHER GREATS UNLESS THEY ARE TWO WAY PLSS. STOP THE DISRESPECT 😂😂😂😂

I’m not a businessman I’m a business…man

I predict and most sports writers say ⚾️htani will be the MVP in 2023, but Yankee fans feeling giddy because Judge homered yesterday, did you know Roger Maris also hit a HR in his first game (opening day) on April 10 1962 against Baltimore, and he did'nt hit another HR in almost 2 weeks (12 games) after hitting 61 in 1961, ended up with 33 in 1962.  Judge is a great offensive player, but he's not even close to Ohtani as the best player in the game, a top pitcher and hitter is twice more difficult and incredible, now Yankee fans are gonna say Judge plays defense, yeah making two or three plays a game in the outfield, Pitchers also plays defense and they do it 60 feet away, and Shohei is one of the best defensive pitchers in the game, he's like a 3 way player

[kenlynw]

How do you have the two best players in the league and still suck

[Mrcruzan]

Shohei had a better game even though his team didn't get him the w.

[danielwest]

I woke up appalled seeing that box score. My man can't do much more for this trash side except hit 1-9 as well.

Even as a diehard Angels fan, I just want this man freed on a competitive team.

It's funny watching analyst Americanized Ohtahi. He had a chance to pick the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox when he was first deciding what team to play for and picked the Angels even though he could've gotten a bigger payday for the other teams.but chose differently. Maybe it's not as big a deal to him as it's with others money wise but maybe he's been in America long enough where he wants to follow up on being the highest paid player.
