This is the first time in his career that Shohei Otani started in the playoffs. He lost 3 points in 6 main shots and sent 9 strikeouts. Although he swallowed 4K, the Dodgers finally succeeded in defeating the Phillies, and Otani won his first playoff win. After the game, he admitted that he was a little nervous before boarding, but once he stood on the pitching mound, he could focus on the game. He mentioned that even if the strike performance is not ideal, he will try his best to help the team at a tactical level. As for the reason for sticking to the “second sword flow”, he said: “Because that’s me, and it’s what the team needs.” Head coach Dave Roberts praised Otani’s mentality and concentration, believing that his ability to completely separate his shooting performance was “unprecedented discipline and psychological strength.” He also named Glasnow, Vesia, and Ryoki Sasaki’s stable performance in the bullpen, as well as Will Smith, Kiké, Andy, Call and others who came on the bench all contributed key points. Roberts concluded: “This is a real team victory. Everyone is helping each other and witnessing the birth of history again.” 0:00 Will you be nervous today? 0:37 Translation answer 0:54 Why do you play a short stick in the eighth game? 1:46 Translation answer 2:17 Why is the blow not ideal? 3:13 Translation answer 3:43 Why don’t you focus on hitting? 4:18 Translation answer 4:31 Witness the feeling of the second sword in the playoffs with your own eyes? 5:34 What are the arrangements for the bullpen today? 6:29 How do you view this victory? 7:28 How do you view Kike? 7:55 How do you view Will’s performance?
