"F-ck that. I've got too much respect for this guy for that sh-t to happen." Schumaker expressed his respect for Ohtani's abilities, indicating why he chose not to pitch around him, despite the situation.
"That's a bad move, baseball-wise, karma-wise, baseball-gods-wise. You go after him and see if you can get him out," he elaborated on why he took the risk, reinforcing the integrity of the game.
"He is doing things that I've never seen done before in the game and if he has a couple more of these peak years, he might be the best ever to play the game," showing Schumaker's admiration for Ohtani's historic achievements.
"Good day for baseball, bad day for the Marlins," Schumaker concluded, summarizing the duality of the moment and the broader implications of excellence on the field.
