Yuki Matsui

Obviously the Dodgers trio, Yamamoto continuing to do his thing, being one of the best big game pitchers, um, in, in history really.

But also Yuki Matsui doing his thing for the Padres and Munetaka Murakami for the White Sox.

Those plucky White Sox might end up going, um, all the way.

Um, but before we begin, be sure to follow Japan Ball on all its socials and check out our official tour provider, Extra Innings Travel, for information and bookings on global baseball centric tours to great places like the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, Korea, and of course Japan.

I don't wanna take credit away from them, but the Brewers were a little bit too used to them, I think.

Um, both Yuki Matsui and Bradley Rodriguez, that was the fourth time that the Brewers lineup had seen them in this series.

Um, like they, they, they were just getting used to seeing a lot of these guys.

Not to mention Mason Miller, who appears later in the game.

B-Rod I'm not blaming at all for anything because that guy was overused, overworked, and over everything.

Uh, Yuki Matsui too.

Jason Adam, I hope we don't re-sign him.

I like Jason Adam, I don't have a problem with Jason Adam, but he's not good enough.

Yeah.

And Bradley Rodriguez and Yuki Matsui were used every fucking game.

And you're using Michael King out of the bullpen.

He did great though, but like Musgrove out of the bullpen.

From there, Robbie Ray gives up a run in an inning.

Bradley Rodriguez, Yuki Matsui, they combine for a shutout inning.

You had Jason Adam give you a shutout inning.

Mason Miller, scoreless inning out of him, and Joe Musgrove, two shutout innings.

It continued with Robbie Ray who came in in the fourth inning.

It continued with Bradley Rodriguez and Yuki Matsui, who had to both come in to finish the fifth inning.

It continued with Jason Adam, who pitched the sixth inning.

Mason Miller they went to in the seventh inning because at that point you're trying to keep it a two-run deficit, and I understood it.

Christian Yelich then singled to put runners on first and second.

Rodriguez got a fly out from William Contreras for out number two.

Padres then went to Yuki Matsui to face Bryce Terang.

Terang flew out.

We saw Bradley Rodriguez again.

We saw Yuki Matsui again.

We saw Jason Adam again.

My goodness, the Padres use these guys over and over and over.

And I don't know if it made a massive difference.

Bradley Rodriguez got two outs and gave up two hits.

Yuki Matsui ended up only being available for one batter for one out.

Jason Adam gave up a run.

Yeah.

Um, and, uh, Yuki Matsui, um, who is a reliever for the Padres did make an appearance, one appearance in the wild card, one inning pitched, one strikeout.

He's, uh, we could talk about him a little bit later, but he's, he's been lights out.

Solid.

Rodriguez got a fly out from William Contreras for out number two.

Padres then went to Yuki Matsui to face Bryce Turang.

Turang flew out.

The inning was over.
