What about the Dodgers again it’s going to be the Padres and Dodgers head-to-head we showed you a quick glimpse of this there he is sh Otani one of the Tope five hitters in baseball even if he’s not pitching he’s going to be doing some dangerous things at the
Plate with that Elite offense let’s listen into some of the elite Dodgers now was first time hitting outside ever since that I got that oblique injury so I was being a little careful but overall felt really good and all the swings I’m taking inside the cages they all feel
Good and strong so I think we’re past the oblique part yeah I was planning on like I said earlier kind of swinging on the lighter side but felt the swings were feeling really good which is a really good sign so I think it’s it’s trending towards me being ready for
We’ve had some really good teams here and some really good Prime some guys in their Prime here and we hadn’t hadn’t done it so no matter what team we roll out there we got to go play you know I went 0 for 11 and we had the same you
Know a really good team last year so if I don’t show up it doesn’t matter not not just me but all of us got to say if we don’t show up we’re going to lose I had don’t really have an experience uh throwing on the short rest
And then but that I did everything I could do uh to uh preparation in terms of preparation um um mechanics adjusting mechanic and then um a lot of different other things your shobu Yamamoto will get the start in that two game series this from the LA Times the plan for Yamamoto to
Start a game in the season opening two game series against San Diego and South Korea according to people familiar with the on the condition of anonymity what you oh my goodness we can’t possibly say we spent $300 million for this guy we might have pitch in the opening Series
In Asia H shocker by the way I like sh Otani talking almost every day I don’t like Greg aminger out here is always like Y come on get show Otani and be there but I’m with that I love hearing through a translator whatever I want to
Hear from Otani every day he’s the face of the team he he may be the face of MLB so you want to be able to hear what he has to say and his perspective on this Dodgers team and we understand he’s not going to be pitching so I need to know
What you’re thinking at the plate besides that I like the idea that now the Dodgers have now strengthen that rotation right that was the biggest question mark but to me now you’ve also brought in the hitters to help supplement with Otani bring in Otani also teoscar Hernandez was a big
Question mark for the Dodgers out there in the Outfield so bringing in these guys to stack up the lineup just like the Braves have and I look at that’s who you’re competing against right in the National League you’re looking at the Braves how can we be a better roster
Than the Braves I think they did that this off can this offense carry our pitching staff for the first part of the season when we’re not sure exactly what we’re going to get and I think that’s what the Dodgers tried to answer early on it’s going to be Yamamoto there’s
Going to be some marks around him despite the fact that he looks phenomenal and may be phenomenal it’s going to be a tough adjustment period and then you’ve got glass now who you know pitched reasonably well a little bit of ups and downs last year coming back from he pitched well well there
Were some ups and downs in there he I think he pitched well in the last couple of starts that he made but there were some ups and downs in his which you expect I’m not saying you expect that so coming into this season I don’t are you
Going to get that right out of the gate are there going to be some ups and downs of course there certainly could be and then from there Bobby Miller still young we saw great things for him last year could be awesome we don’t know exactly we’re what we’re going to get from the
Rest until guys like you know Kershaw and those the reinforcements Walker berer is he going to be ready to go right out the gate we don’t know so this offense has to kind of carry it to your point and I think they did a really good
Job of enforcing that look they um last year when they took their foot off the accelerator so let’s just refresh not re not rebuild but let’s just refresh take a step back start some rookies have some rookies in our rotation let’s not spend a lot of money they still won easy they
Won that division easy now the foot is on the accelerator and how good can Yamamoto be take a look at some of you can either look at his erra what he did in Japan or compare to some of the better Japanese pitchers over the last 10 years we’ve seen some outstanding
Performances and not just from the highend guys that later became superstars iwakuma hasashi iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners a few years ago all right we’ll start with this Yamamoto look at this production that he this is a three-time MVP the last three years a
139 a 168 a 121 all right now take a look at some of the pictures of recent vintage from Japan and I think what we’re seeing correct me if you if you want to disagree with me on this cuz here’s UD Darvish who had a 283 and 28
2013 over 200 Innings Kashi iwakuma I thought he could have won a sa young that year 2013 unheralded for Seattle uh of course Tanaka a superstar and kodai senga last year after a slow start ends up with a 298 ra 166 innings and I’m thinking besides Otani maybe you
Agree maybe you disagree I think Japanese pitchers more than ever are ready to go in the United States what I saw in the WBC I thought whoa this is different even from what we saw 5 10 years ago yeah I think WBC was evidence of that but also look at the transition
Seems to be a little bit easier for these guys and I would argue that yamamoto’s transition might be better having a show he Otani on this team but you see his stuff like we’ve seen what he’s done in Japan it’s going to equate to Excellence here in the United States
Because he throws a lot of strikes and he strikes a lot of guys out but also knows how to get weak contact sometimes you get guys coming over trying to strike everybody out to me I think getting the weak contact using the Dodgers defense is going to be just as
Important for him and he doesn’t have to feel the stress of being have having to be the guy every time because now the rotation is a little bit better bringing in a Tyler glass now as well yeah I I think there is to your point BK a little
Bit of a smaller adjustment period because of the technology technology we have nowadays in the game these guys are able in you know whether it’s whether it’s in Japan whether it’s in the mpb or if it’s over here wherever it is it could be in the Dominican or Venezuela
They have the ability to watch themselves and look at themselves in a different way and see their mechanics and really study it and know what they need to do and how to correct things and and and to get the most out of their body and I think that’s what we’re
Seeing now and that’s what’s going to help uh guys like Yamamoto adjust easier over here and to your point about Otani he’s been through this he’s gone through these adjustments he’s going to be able to see what Yamamoto is doing from a different lens than any of us and be
Able to help him figure out okay this is what you can do this is an adjustment you can make to correct this or that and get yourself back on track that’s an excellent point I hadn’t thought of that Anthony that right the technology there just it’s Universal now around the globe
Uh well-funded Japanese teams can look at this and you can make those improvements cuz in the WBC I was like is everybody like popping 99 is everybody’s stff exploding in and out it’s un that’s why we’re right here exactly and and I’m happy about that I’m happy
About that Yoto the Forefront of all that all right
