Padres vs. Cubs Game Highlights (5/7/24) | MLB Highlights 

He is not a rookie. He was TOP3 pitcher in NPB

​@@user-ul5oi2du9eActually, he wasn't. He was like the 15th pitcher in ERA last year. He has been unleashing his potential since coming to MLB.

@@user-ul5oi2du9e As a Japanese, he wasn’t a good pitcher in NPB even though in his team here in Japan.

@@user-ul5oi2du9ein the MLB he’s a rookie

​@@user-mf6ky8hu6nもちろんメジャーとの相性抜群だけどfip5位だし横浜狭いし、守備酷いしだからね... 実力的には5番目付近の選手ではあったと思うよ

優しくしてね❤

Gaffe : shohei is mine😊

Well congratulations. That’s the ga*est thing I’ve heard all day.

@@hide9302 Chicago loves Shōta!!!!

Cubs will find a way to blow it.

I was there too. Left field. This comment is legit. The moment you heard the crack of the bat, EVERYBODY KNEW

I was there too rain and lighting started to happen he sent us home with one swing

Nice

Same, as soon as the the top of the 9th ended , the rain was picking up and the crowd got into it. I’m so glad I got the HR on camera, that was electric

Same here lol first cubs game and it was lit💯🔥

Thank you Padres fan.

I wouldn’t say that. While it is true he struggles against left handers and that he is the worst defensive player in the MLB he is still pretty good

@@Dodgers-sw2ukpretty sure he was being sarcastic

@@Vibess754 It sounds like the answer was kinda sarcastic as well xD

@@ozfel3766 muah😝

日本人選手を気にするよりも、成績がショボい韓国人選手を気にしろ爆笑

Do you guys even make sense???Pitcher will get hit for homeruns...it's nothing new....all the greatest pitcher in mlb has gotten homerun by batters....If pitchers keep pitching 6 or 5 innings to protect their 0 era then they are not real starter.....A starter is someone who takes the mound and pitch thinking they will pitch the entire game....that's what makes them starting pitcher....a pithcer who didn’t throw hundred pitches will pitch 7 or 8 innings bcz they get 4-5 days rest after the start....i believe shota also wanted to pitch full game bcz its a accomplishment that they pitch for...

그래도 잘했잖아 한잔해~

The only sad thing is, that these 2 earned runs against him in the 8th will make his ERA higher, if they took him out after the 7th, his ERA after 7 starts would be about 0.50

まだ５月やけどな

do you think cubs will make the playoffs?

he gave up the winning run! what do u mean? cubbies very forrtunate to get the win in this game just be glad u arent getting swept rpfl

Not with there bullpen they are not

So? So have all the other teams with pitchers with 5 wins.. Also Glasnow has 6 wins loser

@@user-sf6kx8dg3rwhy are you so butthurt

Might be the Mark Fidrych of 2024.

Lack of communication, but if they continue to communicate during defense, we should be fine

Why hate to say it? You're 100% correct. That was pathetic defense 👎

First base play has been awful this year, and is most of the reason why our projected top 2 defense isn’t even close to that right now. Everyone they stick at first base has rarely bailed out the fielders, even from bounces that should be routine from a big league first baseman. I imagine belly will get a lot of time over there now if PCA continues to hit even decent. He’s played gold glove level defense over there in his career, so that should help quite a bit.

Since you didn't pay attention to the broadcast commentary, let me try to explain what happened there. The pitcher is supposed to take charge and yell out "catcher" or "first base" to tell both players who should handle that ball and who should back off. (The pitcher can can also yell out the position number, which in this case would have meant 2 for catcher or 3 for first baseman.) Shota wasn't able to do that since he's just starting to learn English. Aside from that, you're overreacting to a play that turned out to have no effect on the score, as Shota wound up striking out Machado and Bogaerts to get out of the inning. If you have to call out a player today, look no further than PCA, whose failure to lay down a bunt and advance Amaya to second base in the 5th inning cost the Cubs a run on Nico Hoerner's single.

I might have spoken a bit too sensitively. it's a wonderful night of a dramatic victory, and I know the players have been preparing and playing hard, and as a fan who also celebrates the Cubs' victories, I don't want to spoil the moment.
