Little Leaguer reveals awkward Shohei Ohtani run-in: ‘Never liked him ever since'
Not everybody admires Shohei Ohtani. A young girl playing for Australia's Little League World Series baseball team explained why she's not a fan of the two-way Dodgers superstar in an interview during the Mets-Mariners game on 'Sunday Night Baseball's' KidsCast. Monica Arcuri from Brisbane said she went to Anaheim to see the Angels play in 2023 and saw Ohtani hit a home run off Blue Jays pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. Monica Arcuri (r.) during Australia's Little League World Series game against Canada on Aug. 17, 2025. AP 'He hit a home run into an area where the fans couldn't go, and then this guy got the ball and gave it to my brother,' Arcuri explained. 'So the next day we went to the VIP box at the front and I asked for his signature, but all he gave me was a side eye and not a nice glance. So after that, I've never liked him ever since. He's not really humble. Not my style.' Ohtani did hit a home run off Kikuchi in the third inning of an April 9, 2023, game at Angel Stadium, the ball landing near the rock formation in center field. Both Ohtani and Kikuchi attended Hanamaki Higashi High School in Japan, though not at the same time. Shohei Ohtani Denver Post via Getty Images 2023 was Ohtani's last season with the Angels before he signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers, though $680 million of that is deferred. Ohtani did not pitch last season due to elbow surgery, but helped lead the Dodgers to a World Series victory and won the NL MVP. The 31-year-old recently made headlines because he and his agent, Nez Balelo, were sued by a Hawaii real estate investor and broker for allegedly getting them fired from a $240 million luxury housing development on the Hapuna Coast.

Mookie Betts has a playoff soundtrack infused with ‘the relaxing vibe of the beach'
The announcement could not have been more unfortunately timed. On the morning after the Dodgers had been swept by the Angels and fallen out of first place in the National League West for the first time in 108 days, the email to media members started this way: 'Ever wonder how a player like Mookie Betts gets in the zone for the MLB Postseason?' This is not on Betts, not at all. He is simply the front man for a campaign in which Corona Beer and its advertising partners had pre-timed an otherwise harmless press release for 6 a.m. PT Thursday. The headline on the press release: 'Corona Teams Up with Mookie Betts to Bring the Beach to the Ballpark Through a First-of-its-Kind Soundtrack for the MLB Postseason.' One of the keys to Betts' success: an even keel that sometimes frustrates fans who want every player on their team to be as visibly frustrated as they are. In the aftermath of the Angels' sweep, this is what Betts said Wednesday night: 'It is what it is. Can't change it right now.' The promotional photo distributed with the press release shows Betts relaxing on a beach towel, next to home plate, headphones on. The soundtrack 'fuses the iconic sounds of the ballpark with the relaxing vibe of the beach.' Betts helped to pick seven minutes and 54 seconds of 'home run blasts, in-stadium crowd waves and announcer calls from his most memorable postseason moments ... combined with ambient ocean breezes and crashing waves.' You can hear the soundtrack here. From the press release: 'The entire mix is tuned at 432hz — a frequency commonly associated with enhanced clarity.' 'As a player, you need to be in the right head space to show up when the lights are brightest,' Betts said in the press release. 'I worked with Corona to make sure this soundtrack accurately captures the energy of the postseason and channels that into something both the guys in the dugout and fans can use to prepare for the season's biggest upcoming moments.' In last year's postseason, Betts batted .290, hitting four home runs and scoring 14 runs in 16 games. After the World Series, on an episode of his podcast, he and several teammates broke down the Dodgers' championship run, including a discussion of the New York Yankees' fundamental flaws in the World Series.

There's a Godzilla movie you probably haven't seen. Fix that.
What's a summer without a Godzilla movie? Luckily, this isn't the year to find out because the giant, city-stomping reptile is back in 'Shin Godzilla' — a welcome rerelease of a film that you may have missed on its first run almost a decade ago. This time, serious and not-so-serious monster-movie fans alike should seek out the 4K restoration, with screenings beginning in Washington-area theaters Aug. 14. Originally released in 2016, 'Shin Godzilla' is co-directed by Shinji Higuchi and Hideaki Anno, the latter the visionary auteur behind 1995's 'Neon Genesis Evangelion.' Together with cinematographer Kosuke Yamada, they work to totally reinvent the cinematic language of the famous kaiju. The result is a story that closely resembles that of Godzillas of yore but with a visual language, style and rhythm that is dynamic and wholly original. Set in 2016 Japan, the film begins with a mysterious atomic lizard crawling out of the ocean. Yes, this has been done before — as recently as 2023's 'Godzilla Minus One' — but never with this style and rarely this well. Godzilla's opening rampage, which runs for about 20 minutes, is the film's high-water mark in terms of visual effects and set piece construction. In the aftermath of this destruction, the Japanese government scrambles to understand what is happening and protect its citizens. The government — and, it's revealed later, all governments — has absolutely no idea what it's doing. How do officials orchestrate the immediate evacuation of entire cities? Schedule a board meeting. How do they organize an effort to study the creature? More board meetings. Should they drop a nuclear weapon on this beast that gained its powers from nuclear debris? Maybe. But first let's have a few more board meetings to debate it. 'Shin Godzilla' is a political thriller about the gears of bureaucracy. They are difficult to move, but once their intense inertia is in motion, they are unbelievably powerful. Sounds like a certain kaiju. This is what makes 'Shin Godzilla' so special. For the entirety of Godzilla's life, even through qualitative ebbs and flows, he has been a political character. With 'Shin Godzilla,' this creature feature series evolves to capture the present moment perfectly. Higuchi, Anno and Yamada shoot the majority of this movie like a mixture of 'Veep,' late-period Steven Soderbergh and the first 'Cloverfield' flick. Handheld camerawork, extreme framing and POV shots combine to create a sense of true terror rarely achieved in the world of disaster movies. The framing also centers the smallness of human beings in relation to structures and the eponymous beast, pressing the issue of just how powerless we would be up against a walking nuclear reactor. The film's editing style also adds to the chaotic experience. From the opening shot, things unfold mostly at a breakneck pace that conveys the difficulty of trying to maintain order during a crisis. When the film slows, it's noticeable, forcing the viewer to focus on the story and thematic beats being highlighted. In a gripping scene just before the start of the third act, the film's ostensible lead, Hiroki Hasegawa, reflects on American hegemonic power after World War II: 'Postwar extends forever.' As the plot continues to play out, the pressure and anxiety build on the faces of the movie's expansive cast. One standout performance comes from Mikako Ichikawa as a government official thrust into this high-pressure situation. Her dead-eyed intensity reveals the physical and emotional burden of taking down the monster. When a solution finally presents itself (in the world of Godzilla, it's usually driven by brain, not brawn), the relief is as cathartic as any action sequence. When originally released, 'Shin Godzilla' was the start of a new Godzilla era. The world of Gojira (the Japanese name for the character) started with the Showa Era, which ran from 1954 till 1975 and encompassed 15 films, including the first 'Godzilla' in 1954, the original 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' in 1963 and 1968's 'Destroy All Monsters' (a personal favorite). These are the classic Zilla flicks, wherein characters such as Mothra and King Ghidorah were introduced, and Godzilla evolved from anarchic force of destruction to omnipotent protector of humanity. (The films are collected in a $225 box set, courtesy of the Criterion Collection.) Next came the Heisei Era, which began with 'The Return of Godzilla' in 1984 and ran until 1995, followed by the Millennium Era, from 1999 to the mid-2000s. The final film in the Millennium Era, 'Godzilla: Final Wars,' was released in 2004. Fifty years after Ishiro Honda's original, 'Final Wars' featured monsters from throughout Godzilla's history (including Roland Emmerich's 1998 folly). After that, Toho, the production company behind the Japanese films, did not release a new Japanese-language entry for 12 years. Into this absence came 'Shin Godzilla' and the Reiwa Era. Instead of working to build one continuous story — carrying over characters and plotlines from film to film — the Reiwa Era features separate storylines and continuities. 'Shin Godzilla' exists in one continuity, while 'Godzilla Minus One' is completely disconnected. Simultaneously, there are three animated Godzilla features on Netflix set in Earth's distant future and the U.S.-based Monsterverse that include King Kong. All of these films exist on their own and provide a different flavor of the classic monster. As with TV news, or a car accident, it's difficult to look away from 'Shin Godzilla.' Because of its style and subject matter, at times it feels as if you're watching a snuff film: massive crowds of people unable to move fast enough to outrun certain death. It's overwhelming in a way that feels immense and essential, like the monster it worships and the facades he tears down.
