Ohtani launches 5 sleeves without sure blow but the enclosure of LEVERS DOOMS DODGERS

LOS Angeles – In the short moment between the moment when Shohei Ohtani finished his fifth in a safe blow as a launcher and prepared to lead the next half -manche as a striker, the Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, took the opportunity to bring together Intel.

Ohtani only needed 68 throws on Tuesday evening to accumulate 15 withdrawals against the phillies of Philadelphia, which present one of the most imposing alignments of sport. The sixth round qualified as a Uncharted territory in its return from a second elbow repair. But when Roberts asked Ohtani what he felt, the double -meaning star responded in the affirmative.

It didn’t matter.

Ohtani was released as a launcher, then looked at the left -handed left -hander Wrobleski made a four -point lead to a series of five strikers. Three rounds later, after Ohtani hung his 50th circuit stroke, Blake Treinen gave up a decisive three-point circuit to the backup receiver No. 9 Rafael Marchan, putting another defeat to the Dodgers in another back and forth match against the Phillies. The latter, decided by a score of 9-6, put more doubt about the enclosure of the team’s readers and raised additional questions on the amount that the Dodgers could push Ohtani in October.

Roberts said he had asked Ohtani what he felt in the middle of the fifth only because he wanted to collect information “for the future”.

The present had already been decided.

“He was not going to come back,” said Roberts. “We were very firm in all situations with regard to its round for its use – from a round two to three to four. We did not deviate ourselves from this. So I was trying to get his pulse to move forward, where he is, continuing to go to the sixth round. And he says:” You can feel good. “It was good. It is too important.

“We didn’t do it all year round, so I’m not going to do it for the moment. I would have loved having it go there. But if our conversation was:” If it is effective, it can go to the sixth round “, it is a different conversation. But it was a hard fifth rounds. It’s just the way it happens, and the guys did their job.”

Ohtani withdrew five years and only granted one Baserunner – during a first step in Bryce Harper – during the first five heats against a Phillies team that won the National League is on Monday evening and has the highest operations of the majors since the beginning of August. Its quick ball was on average 99.2 MPH. His sweeper, Roberts said: “was great.” Ohtani started for the first time in 11 days, but had not finished five innings since August 27. This beginning saw him reach 87 seasonal throws, 19 more than he launched on Tuesday.

“As a player, I want to launch as long as possible,” said Ohtani through an interpreter. “But I understand and I also respect the decision made by the front office and the manager.”

This decision, Roberts insisted, was predetermined.

“This is a different situation,” said Roberts. “It was different from all year round. It is two players in one. So for me to do something and divert, and if something happens, then we lose two players. And so if the conversation is not done, I will not do it. We have not done it all year round, so, I’m not going to do it tonight.”

Instead, Wrobleski inherited an advance of 4-0 and quickly abandoned it. Marchan, Harrison Bader and Kyle Schwarber won three single consecutive to load the bases. Harper followed with a double of two points and Brandon Marsh launched a three-point circuit to give the Phillies an advance of 5-4. Roberts spread out of the shelter for a change of pitching at that time and was horny loudly by an announced crowd of 44,063 at the Dodger stadium. The hoots continued after Max Kepler added a solo Homer two strikers later.

Ohtani made a match in a race by lifting a 430 -foot home run at the back of the enclosure of the readers towards the eighth, making him the first player from Alex Rodriguez in 2002 to reach 50 circuits in consecutive seasons. Five strikers later, a fly Alex Call sacrifice equaled the scoring, which prompted Treinen to register for the ninth.

Treinen, a key cog in an enclosure of the readers who transported the dodgers to a championship last fall, withdrew the first two strikers before collapsing. Weston Wilson doubled, Bryson Stott walked, then Marchan struck an online route low which hit the side of the lift enclosure door, ricochet from the top of the shortest adjacent fence and bound in the stands. The Dodgers also failed to capitalize on another loss of San Diego Padres, their advance in the NL West still only two games. Their lift enclosure had again implodged.

“Sometimes you look back and try to understand what’s going on,” said Treinen. “Many of us have had our moments this year. Sometimes there are no words, no reasons to describe it. I know that it is frustrating for the fans. I mean, I can promise you from the bottom of my heart that we try from our greatest day every night.”

Dodgers’ inception is a major concern before the playoffs, one that the team hopes to compensate for a deep rotation which extends to six members. Ohtani will undoubtedly be a key element of this solution, but how much he pushed remains an open question.

Roberts will not make this decision alone.

“I mean, if there are conversations of the powers in place, and Shohei included – if everyone is in the conversation by saying:” Hey, we will push it “, it is a different conversation,” said Roberts. “But what I knew was that he was going to be five innings, so that’s where it stops.”
