Chako: Hey Log, the Dodgers were really close, weren’t they?
Log: Yeah, especially with Ohtani’s condition being a concern. He hasn’t hit a home run in 94 at-bats this season, which is his worst. I hope he gets back on track soon.
Chako: I know, right? But did you hear that Sasaki threw a fastball at 164.3 km/h? That’s amazing!
Log: Absolutely, his pitching was outstanding. Going two innings without giving up a hit or a run is impressive too.
Navi: Sasaki’s performance could be a crucial factor in the upcoming playoffs.
Chako: I’m looking forward to the next game! Yamamoto Yoshinobu is starting!

Admin’s Note

The recent game was a very close match for the Dodgers, but I think Roki Sasaki’s performance really stood out. His fastest pitch of 164.3 kilometers per hour will definitely be a point of interest in future games. I’m also curious about Shohei Ohtani’s condition; I believe that his return could have a positive impact on the entire team. I’m really looking forward to the next game, where the ace pitchers of both teams will face off against each other.
