The Padres match was an unusual series, with a total of eight dead balls coming out in four consecutive games. Otani received a dead ball that was clearly deliberately intentional for the second day in a row. When he received the message from pitcher Suarez, he also made a gesture to his passionate teammates saying, “Don’t come on.” Dodgers Nation also featured this, and Doug McCain, also known as DMAC, spoke passionately about the series. A dead ball that is clearly deliberate. In particular, I received a 100-mile fastball from pitcher Suarez on my upper body, not my lower body. I was able to dodge it well and get it on my back, but if it was my arms and shoulders, it might have affected my pitching. But it really made me feel relieved that it wouldn’t affect my body. The next series in August is likely to be another hot battle. Reference video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3LQ9mhvOrk
