Los Angeles – in a brief moment between Shohi Ohtani Complete his fifth innings of no-in-baseball as a pitcher and designed to lead the next half inning as a hitter, Doders Manager Dave Roberts captured the occasion to collect Intel.
Ohtani needed only 68 pitches on Tuesday night so that 18 can go out against 18 Philadelphia philisWhich is one of the most spectacular lineups of the game. The sixth innings was qualified as a unwanted area in their return from repairing another elbow. But when Roberts asked Ohtani how he felt, the two-way star gave a positive reply.
This did not make any difference.
Ohtani came out as a pitcher, then the crooks were seen as a left hand Justin Vobalski Gained a four -run lead for a string of five batsmen. After three innings, Ohtani shut down her 50th domestic run, Blake Tranen Surrended to number 9-ritting backup catcher Rafael MaranDoseers hand over another loss against the Philos and another in the game of back and forth. This last, decided by one 9-6 scoreCost more doubts about the team’s bulk and raise additional questions about how long Ohani can be pushed in October.
Roberts said that he only asked Ohtani how he felt in the middle of the fifth because he wanted to gather information for the future. “
The present was already decided.
“He was not going to go out,” Roberts said. “We have been very stable in every situation as an innings for our use – from two to four to four to four. We have not distracted it. So I was trying to get his pulse to go ahead, where he is, continues to go to the sixth innings. And he says, ‘It seems right.” It was good. He is very important.
“We have not done this throughout the year, so I am not going to do it right now. I like to go there.
Ohtani hit five and allowed only one Basarner-to walk on the innings Bryus harper – A Phillies through the first five innings against the team, which attained the National League East on Monday and claimed Major’s highest opes since the beginning of August. His fastball average was 99.2 mph. His sweeper, Roberts said, “Was great.” Ohtani was starting for the first time in 11 days, but had not completed five innings since August 27. That beginning saw him reaching 87 pitches season-high, he thrown more than 19 on Tuesday.
“As a player, I want to pitch as long as possible,” Ohtani said through an interpreter. “But I also understand and respect the decision that makes the office and manager in front.”
This decision was insisted by Roberts, insisted, was pre -determined.
“This is a different situation,” said Roberts. “It has been different throughout the year. He is two players in one. So to do something and distract for me, and if something happens, we lose two players. And so if the conversation has not happened, I am not going to do it. We have not done it all year, so, I am not going to do it tonight.”
Instead, Wrobleski inherited a 4–0 lead and immediately surrendered it. Marchen, Harrison bed And Kyle Schwarber Three straightfriends to load the bases; Harper followed with a two-run double; And Brandon marsh Crank the three-run homer to give Phillies a 5-4 lead. Roberts took out the dugout for a pitching change at that moment and smelled outs up by a 44,063 declared mob. Continued even after boos Max Capler Later, a solar Homer was added to two batsmen.
Ohtani, while finishing eighth place, raised a 430 -foot home run in the right field and made a game of one run, making him the first player since Alex Rodrigue in 2002, reaching 50 domestic runs in consecutive sessions. After five batsmen, A Alex call The sacrifice fly tied the score, inspiring the Trainen to investigate for the ninth.
Traineen, a major cog in a bulfane, who took the doseers in a final decline in a championship, retired before inciting the first two batsmen. Weston Wilson Doubled, Bryson Stot Gone, and then marchin hit a low line drive, which collides with the right area Bulpen Gate, exiting the small fence adjacent to it and jumped into the stand. Dozers failed to capitalize on another San diego padress Damage, his lead in NL West still has only two games. His Bulpen was once again trapped.
“Sometimes you look back and try to understand what is going on,” Trainen said. “Many of us were in our moments this year. There is no reason to describe it. I know that it is disappointing for fans. I mean, I can promise you from under your heart that we are trying our burials every night.”
The Dozers Bulpen stands as a major concern in Postsen, expecting a team with a deep rotation that extends up to six members. Ohthani will undoubtedly be an important part of that solution, but how long it is pushed, this is an open question.
Roberts is not taking decisions alone.
Roberts said, “I mean, if there is a conversation of the powers, and Shohei is included – if everyone is in the conversation, ‘Hey, we will push him,’ this is a different conversation,” Roberts said. “But what I knew was that she was about to play five innings, therefore, this is where it stops.”
