I did get up to watch the first three innings in Japan this morning, and the highlights for the remainder of the game just now. Freeman was a late scratch, not sure why. Kike got the start at 1b. So they are missing their 2 and 3 hitters right now.
But Yamo had all his pitches working and locating them.
SportsNetLA is replaying a 3 hour version of the game 4 times today!
Kinda strange to watch the national anthem played by a renowned pianist in Japan while a giant pikachu is standing still behind the Dodgers.
The Dodgers pitching staff in Game 1 vs. the Cubs:
Yamamoto: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K,
72 pitches
Banda: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Casparius: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Treinen: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
Scott: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Dominance.
Didn’t see the game, but espn reported that Freeman have a rib inj. Betts didn’t play either (flu like symptoms). They should fly him home asap so he can get a head start on the inevitable jet lag
