Who would throw a stone at Ohtani.

A value that cannot be changed even by the value of hundreds of millions of dollars, a World Series victory. However, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost. Unfortunately, it is even more painful if the losing pitcher was Ohtani, a man with a ransom of 1 trillion won. But it was a game that no one could say anything to Ohtani.

Ohtani played as the first hitter and starting pitcher in Game 4 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium in LA, California on the 29th (Korea time). However, Ohtani also got one walk at the plate, but was sluggish with no hits in three at-bats and two strikeouts, and as a pitcher, he suffered a loss. He gave up four runs in six innings and collapsed. In particular, the biggest shock was the come-from-behind two-run shot hit by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the opponent in the third inning when he was leading 1-0. Guerrero Jr. did not miss the only pitch he threw on the day, but as Guerrero Jr. won the sign-to-sign fight, the atmosphere of the game rapidly flowed toward Toronto.




Ohtani throws well afterwards He was replaced after taking the mound in the seventh inning and giving up consecutive hits, and subsequent pitchers allowed all the home runs of Ohtani's successors, increasing the number of runs to four. It was his first World Series start, but he had to finish with regret.

But it wasn't a situation where I could throw a stone at Ohtani. Ohtani played until the end of the 18th inning in Game 3 a day earlier. He was the designated hitter, but he took the batter's box a total of nine times, setting a real record of all living. Just going out on the floor for a long time and playing baserunning brings tremendous fatigue. In particular, Ohtani ran from the first base to the second base at the end of the game and ran out of the training part to check his condition.

We fought for six hours and 39 minutes. The game began at 5 p.m. in the western standard, so it was almost 11 p.m. It was the worst scenario for a player who had to start the next day and play the No. 1 role. I didn't have enough time to rest. It is known as Ohtani, who is very sensitive to sleep. In fact, Ohtani was happy after winning the third game, but he said "I can't wait to go and sleep."

Of course, it was not that his performance was extremely poor, but it was clearly bound to affect both the ball and the ball. As the number of pitches approached near 100 in the seventh inning, the ball was driven to the center because the ball was not controlled even if the ball was alive.

However, without Ohtani, there would have been no important Game 3 victory. Ohtani allowed four runs, but made it clear he played a minimal role as a starter. It would be right to interpret that Dodgers hitters failed to help Ohtani on this day.
