If Teoscar keeps it up this postseason again, I truly don't care if he walks around the outfield during the regular season.

The whole organization is a mess

Shildt largely left governing of the clubhouse to players and made it a priority to exhibit patience and deference to them. He was, according to several people, often the opposite with his coaching staff and members of the support staff. Those people said that would sometimes happen within a matter of seconds, as he berated a staff member before walking out into the clubhouse with a smile on his face.

Three players were asked about the working relationship between Shildt and coaches. Two acknowledged at least some knowledge of tensions but said it had no effect on the team's performance.

But the coaching staff's morale was routinely described as low.

Many in the organization spoke over the past several months of repeated angry outbursts and what were painted as unproductive and destructive communication tactics. Shildt often made employees feel silly for suggestions or what they deemed helpful information, but he then would sometimes complain that they had not prepared him for situations.

Some veteran coaches lamented that the coaches lower on the totem pole bore the brunt of Shildt's vexation.

Others spoke of Shildt believing he had communicated to a coach what he wanted out of a drill or a player. Sometimes, they said, it was not communicated in a way that was clear, yet Shildt would berate the coach when something was not done the way he thought it should have been.

Multiple witnesses to these tirades independently offered virtually identical accounts. Details of certain instances are being withheld to protect the anonymity of those involved, including some who did not speak for this article.

The previous "longest MLB postseason start by a Japanese pitcher" was Hiroki Kuroda's 8.1 innings of 2-run ball for the Yankees in Game 3 of the 2012 ALDS vs the Orioles. He was on the hook for a tough-luck loss until Raúl Ibañez homered in the 9th (then won it in the 12th) #HIROK #RaulSoCool

Our Japanese media friends are reporting that this is the first time a Japanese pitcher has ever thrown a complete game in MLB postseason history.

After the literal first pitch of the game, Yamamoto was basically flawless for 9 innings, what a fucking performance. The offense got him some breathing room behind Teoscar and Muncy homers, but really it still feels they haven't broken out yet. 2-0.

Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto just threw the first complete game in the postseason in eight years. The last one: Justin Verlander on this very day in 2017 in Game 2 of the ALCS. After a leadoff home run, Yamamoto was near-perfect, and the Dodgers now lead the NLCS, 2-0.
