With overwhelming pressure filling the stadium, the club&#8217;s dugout appeared to be overflowing with good vibes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"et\" dir=\"ltr\">Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto pulled out this HILARIOUS celebration \ud83e\udd96<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MLB<\/a>)<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fu2O1n1iDd\">pic.twitter.com\/fu2O1n1iDd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClutchPoints\/status\/1844914223769677937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani really committed to the celebration, while Yamaoto was understandably more reserved given that he was the Game 5 starting pitcher. It is a surreal moment for fans to see LA&#8217;s two most high-profile free agency signings palling around while wearing the Dodger Blue. They were brought in to help lift the team over the top in the playoffs, and Yamamoto did just that in the decisive clash.<\/p>\n<p>The rookie right-hander finally figured out the Padres in 2024, pitching five scoreless innings and allowing just two hits. He handed the game over to the red-hot bullpen, and the relievers put a bow on\u00a0the 2-0 victory. Following an up-and-down year ravaged by injury, Yoshinobu Yamamoto rewarded the organization&#8217;s belief in him and delivered on the big stage.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will it be Shotime in NLCS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-4 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col\">\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Shohei Ohtani is still waiting for his signature October moment. Although he set the tone in Game 1 with a three-run home run in the second inning, the runaway NL MVP batted just .200 in the series. He will look to reclaim his September form versus the Mets, starting on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe some good ole&#8217; fashioned tomfoolery with his countryman and the rest of the team will allow Ohtani to get in the right mindset for Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto reference a simpler time with epic handshake Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0fans are exhaling now, but many of them were holding their breath during Game&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
