笑顔の再会　大谷翔平vsトラウト　WBC以来の対戦　日本語翻訳字幕付き

game lead in this division last month, but they’re sputtering. And yesterday, their insistence on stretching out show Otani would cost them. Otani is a one of a kind. He’s having a great season, but you could make the case they are letting the man who could fly, Icarus, fly a little too close to the sun, and we know what happened there. I want to start with this though. Dodgers Angels last night in Anaheim. Otani against his old club and teammate. As we start a little digging in, you remember the first matchup, World Baseball Classic Championship game. Show Otani out of the bullpen for Japan. Mike Trout entering the 2023 season. A highlevel version of Mike Trout. Otani with the strikeout. Japan wins the final and the WBC title, but we do know it’s March. It’s preseason for Trout. And of course, a batter has a higher failure rate than a pitcher. So, new matchup last night. It’s a different version of Mike Trout. Now he’s got a 127 OPS plus overall 100 being league average sitting 240 slash line is okay 367458 again it’s the worst offensive season of Trout’s career a 127’s good that’s his worst and the Dodgers and Angels by the way you see what Cho Otani has done Angels have done a number on the Dodgers this year Otani basically an opener so far 19 innings of work but a 237 erra he’s sitting 98 he’s throwing hard coming off a year off post surgery 25 strikeouts, five walks. You can fear a breakdown or a loss of offensive production. I do. But this is excellent work in short bursts. Got to admit it. So, let’s do it. First inning, Otani versus Trout. They exchange pleasantries. So, let’s get to it. Pitch by pitch. First pitch 98 in, 99 up, then swing and miss on a 99. From there, down low, misses, up high, just misses, then drops it in 87. Oh my. five straight all heat and then a sweeper, a slider, you name it. That’s a vicious differential. Otani strikes out his former teammate again this time in the regular season. Second at bat starts with the slow curve ball misses. That’s at 85 from there. 98 in outside corner. 101 painting on the outside corner. That’s a kill shot. Not mixing it up. Not painting. Extreme below. 101. Two at bats, two strikeouts. Otani versus Trout. So, that’s great stuff. Now, I’m on the record saying I believe Otani should, if he does insist on pitching, be used as an opener. Work the first inning or two. Be great. Have a seat. Take your four ABS. You can want him to pitch and hit at the same time. But do you know how many seasons Otani has pitched a full season and finished that season down the stretch in eight years? How many times? Twice. Twice in eight seasons. You can hope he stays healthy, but he hasn’t. And you risk his top shelf, best hitter in the National League offense by trying to have him pitch like a normal starter. Two starts ago, the Dodgers wanted Otani to stretch out to four innings, but he cramped up. Remember that he had hip issues, had to come out after three. Last night, they wanted him to go five, so they sent him out for the fifth inning. But in the fifth, the command was not quite the same. He threw one at 101. He had a strikeout. I’m not saying he fell apart, but he got loose. Gave up two singles and then this two-run double to Zach Neto. Got a little gassed, got a little loose. Otani goes four and a third. Seven strikeouts. Gave up a season high four runs. And guess what? Dodgers got swept by the Angels. They lost. That matters, too. Second time this year, Dodgers are 0 and six against the Angels. I want to be fair, it was great theater last night. I enjoy watching him pitch. I had Show Otani in my starting pitcher top 10 this year. He’s great as a pitcher, but there’s a reason the tale of Icarus resounds through the centuries. The guy can fly, but the wings kept melting and they kept flying this guy too close to the sun.
