Yoshinobu was UNREAL tonight!
Man, what a win! 5-1 over the Brewers, baby! And Yoshinobu went 7 innings, gave up 7 hits but only 1 run — THIS is what I'm talking about. Hit 97 mph at his peak, getting ground ball after ground ball, just toying with the Brewers lineup. That RBI grounder by Frelick in the 2nd was a bit of a bummer, but come on — 87 mph off the bat? That was pure bad luck, don't sweat it Yoshinobu!
Shohei didn't get the hits, but he did the work
Ohtani went 0-for-3 with 2 walks across 5 plate appearances… and yeah, the line looks quiet, but trust me, the content was anything but.
Leading off the 1st with three straight ball-fastballs, working a walk — at that point you could tell the Brewers battery was already shook. Couldn't land the cutter either, ended up walking him on 4 straight. THIS is the Ohtani intimidation factor.
That 2nd inning liner was a real piece of contact too — 89.6 mph exit velo, 24-degree launch angle. Smoked a liner 329 ft to left-center… right at the fielder. Ugh, brutal.
But man, that bases-loaded chance in the 4th was the one that hurt! 101.5 mph exit velo but at a -8 degree angle, just a grounder. He got completely fooled by that changeup. If he gets one through there, the game's over. Next time, next time!
6th inning he popped up the first-pitch slider, 91.4 mph at 27 degrees, 329 ft fly to left-center. Just a touch short of carrying out…
Then in the 9th, full count again and he draws ANOTHER walk! Read that final curveball perfectly and took his base. That's the Shohei we know. He didn't get a hit, but you could feel the entire opposing pitching staff treating him like he was radioactive across all 5 plate appearances.
The lineup erupted — Tucker and Pages were ON FIRE
The 5th inning was THE highlight of the night! First Tucker rips a 100.2 mph triple down the right-field line, plating two runs — and the moment that made it 3-1, I literally yelled "LET'S GOOOO!" in my living room.
And then, right after that. Pages OBLITERATED one! 105.5 mph off the bat, 36-degree launch angle, a 380-ft missile down the left-field line! That ball was GONE the second he hit it. "THAT'S MY GUY PAGES!" I almost spit my beer out screaming. 5-1, game over.
Keep this energy going tomorrow
Yoshinobu's poise, the lineup clicking, Ohtani working counts — it all came together tonight. The fact that he allowed 7 hits but only let in 1 run shows just how clutch Yoshinobu is. Now I just need Shohei's bat to wake up. Come on Shohei, you got this!
