A iya Yamamoto! Japanese
Oh, no Yamamoto!
Yama vs Darvish 🎉🎉🎉
What will Padre fans say when Yamamotto no hits them. Lpl.
If the Dodgers suspect Yamamoto was tipping his pitches to the Padres in Game 1, wouldn’t it make more sense to start Flaherty in Game 5 instead?
We need Hyunjin Ryu….

I wasn’t nervous until they announced Yamamoto starting. I think it’s a mistake. Save him for either extra innings or NLCS game 1. The Padres are a bad matchup for him right now. Accept that and plan accordingly. I think the Padres see this and are licking their chops in anticipation
Yamamoto has to be the demon samurai tomorrow. As he was in the Yanks series.
Davish already gave us headache and Yamamoto performance is not stable. It will be a big gameble, Not even 50% winning chance.
Do not start Yamamoto. Padres have his number. He will give up 7 runs before the 3 rd inning. I can’t believe his breaking balls are so lame most of the time.
Yall tripping, Yamamoto is going 6 strong innings with ZERO runs watch, yall being cry babies
Two Japanese pitchers but Darvish has many experiences in big games.
