Ohtani publicly vouched for him before Game 5 when nobody else other than Roberts believed in him. This is why winning and team mentality is what makes a championship team. Trust your teammates to deliver in the big moments. don't rely on hero ball and put all the pressure on one guy. That's Baseball. It's a true team sport.
Something that gets missed is that the Dodgers didn’t sign Yamamoto to be their ace THIS season. Everyone brings up his massive contract as if he was Cole starting in NY. They want him to be their ace in a couple seasons, he wasn’t meant to carry this team this year. That’s why they also signed Glasnow and were hoping Beuhler, Kershaw, Paxton and then later Flaherty to provide that experience. This was the transition season and he is still shoving.
Yep. Japanese is huge on seniority. It's like their society is based on it. So that was a gesture of a senior commending his junior for a job well done, not condescending.
Ninja you didn’t go there . 😂 pet Yo Yo like his dogg ! Dodgers fans are pumped up after that series … Time for Dodgers to kick this 💩 up a couple notch’s and bring us what we’ve been waiting for as Dodger fans … That parade in “Downtown L.A. 💯🔥
Even though Darvish gave up 2 HRs in a little over 6 innings vs Yamamoto giving up 0 in his 4 innings, I feel like Darvish pitched better. He had more strikeouts and you can say luck was in Yamamoto's side a little. Those ground huts could've easily passed by, and the 2 hits by Machado was almost a homerun, just feel a little short. Overall though, good pitching Nighy by both Japanese pitchers. I'm proud of them
The report said that Yamamoto was tipping the pitches especially when a runner was on second base in Game 1 or maybe whole season against Padres. Roberts said they worked it out but I got to admit that I had my share of doubt on many accounts. My apologies for doubting Roberts and Yamamoto. Thank you for proving me wrong big time.
I don't think Yamamoto was really tipping pitches last game...but who knows. I looked for everything I could, and nothing really jumped out. I think he just was better yesterday and he said that. His mechanics felt better and his velo was up.

It's sad the Padres couldn't get it done with the Peter patch 💛on their chest. Too much pressure or maybe just bad timing to be shitty? PS💛Screw you Ken Rosenthal
Yamamoto pitched in big games when he was in NPB, he could've gone 7 innings but Roberts made the right call.
Yamamoto hasn't pitched more than 75pitches in over 3months.
Right we should think he's not fully recovered.
This is the only MLB theme page that Ain't biased. Love watching Pitching Ninja as Always
this is the best, most informative, most entertaining MLB show, I appreciate you guys!
thanks!
Appreciate it Andrew!
Padres choking is a thing of beauty
amazing pitching display from two Japanese pitchers. Japan is the real winner out of this series.
Alex vesia is the most energetic reliever lol
100%
Pretty sure that was Kopech
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu Kopech brings it too, but Vesia is next level.
Unfortunately got injured😢
Yamamoto and Darvish are the man. Yamamoto will be worth that 300M
Good boi decoy petting😂

Yamamoto was noticed by senpai

@@sunahamanagai9039I was looking for this comment. Wish it would be upvoted for us westerners that don’t understand the significance of the head pat.👍
Shohei should’ve give some treats to Yamamoto after petting him
Sunflower seeds or something 😂
Padres drank Choke-a-cola. The Dodgers didn’t.
just look at the SP they have the IL and it's shocking they made it this far.
the Padres did Yu dirty. he pitched his heart out.
Both great start
Padres offense really abandoned Darvish, who was awesome!

Have you seen how much Ohtani loves Decoy? It’s a compliment

But it didn't
Yeah Yamamoto pitched high up the zone that day, the problem was on padres

I guess Will is a serial killer now. Everybody fears the Garden State Madman
I was rooting for dodgers, buy felt bad for Darvish for some reason.
Headbutt wired is crazy
yamamoto is doing it.
The Dodgers still have Shohei coming back from his injury😂
⚾️🥷!
Where is Roki sasaki？
Let’s go DODGERS!!!💙🤍💙🤍
Man you jinxed tarik skubal
Ninja, any thoughts on the Dodgers picking up Paul Skenes in a couple of years?
I hope he stays in Pittsburgh and they build a winner around him....but yeah, he's from Orange County, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Still best pitcher in the league though
That dong bump would have caused me to strike out ijs
6:48 oh no 😢😢😢
I don’t get it
@@evanarey8374 Unfortunately, Skubal allowed 5 runs with a grand slam and Detorit was eliminated 🥺
@@julianroblesherrera9989 oh yeah
Well ninja ! Your boy skubal is gone 😢😢😢
Tarik sold bricks

Turns out the little brothers were the little brothers all along 😚
Dodgers were favored to win but people calling the Padres chokers pretty much says what they all think of the Dodgers.
