What crazy is that's not many games lol. Dodgers truly don't score runs when He's pitching 

5

u/DDub04 Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

He’s made 86 starts (and one appearance in relief) in his career, thats 52 starts in which the dodgers scored 2 or fewer runs.

Since he joined the team the dodgers have averaged 5.07 runs per game in the regular season. Per statmuse, that average is 4.68 when Yamamoto is on the mound.

check the game day thread whenever he is announcing. "omg joe davis is such a dodger homer" "he's terrible at his job". People just hate him because he's associated with the Dodgers

His calls in game 1 of the 2025 WS were amazing. The Jays destroyed the Dodgers that day and he was all in on the calls. Perfect example.

Never really felt like we had a shot in that game with how their pitching shut down our bats.

u/ThatDude8129 Atlanta Braves 8d ago

I had a bad feeling about this game almost from the start. Sale being off his game and taking around 20 pitches to get through an inning really cemented it.

u/Par4DaCourse 8d ago

In a Yamamoto-Sale game that was expected to be low scoring and tight, Acuna's 1st inning challenge in a low leverage situation was big. But Ohtani evened it up in the 5th in a similar low leverage lost challenge. It's the small things that can loom large. That's baseball and that's why it's fun.

Man...it was a talking point during the regular season about the difference between the AL and the NL, but it feels like the post-season is really highlighting it. The White Sox had the 1st inning collapse yesterday; the Guardians had the subsequent bigger collapse later on; the Yankees. Meanwhile watching both NLDS series, every pitch feels tense like it could blow open the game on either side.

Yoshi looked to lose control around 80 pitches is not him, hopefully nothing too bad is going on. Only being able to score runs on HRs and not being able to produce with runners on is working but scary

Not much you can do when your offense never shows up. Especially the top 3.

I'd be shocked if this series isn't over tomorrow.

Can’t say anything bad about anything the Dodgers do really, but Roberts is making a mistake if he wants to use Diaz in that role the rest of the playoffs…

That's how Dave rolls, he trusts his guys to get it done if they show improvement.

Diaz has actually been decent since his IL stint.

Mr. October does it again. Like magic, once the postseason starts he goes from Mendoza to Ruth.

gonna need some actual production from the top of the lineup for the Braves to stay alive.

Braves took 7 walks in Game 2 and just weren't working counts against Yoshi. i know he's insane, but he was throwing junk out of the zone all night, particularly his curveball. not sure he threw it for a strike once, yet our hitters just couldn't lay off.

Hopefully they can work more counts tomorrow and get to the Dodgers pen earlier.

Honestly, with the Dubie robbery of Freddie and the Dodgers leaving 20 guys on base, lucky it was only 3-1.

that Ozzie leadoff double gave me hope tho...something to build on!

I'm guessing it's because you don't want the Rays to win a title.

Why not the White Sox? There's a chance they might pull off the impossible.
