00:00Victory by the Cincinnati Reds at five to two over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now heading into

00:04that game, we anticipated Shohei Otani possibly going four or more innings yesterday. He did make

00:09it through three and left in the fourth inning due to cramping, which Shohei Otani, Joe,

00:13told us that he was actually cramping up starting in the first inning and just tried to fight

00:17through. Three innings pitched, five hits, two earned runs, four strikeouts in that game. ERA

00:21does bounce up to 240 when it was hovering on that one level. I'm not too worried about that

00:26situation. We even talked about the game yesterday, nine and a half as a total. And we said,

00:30as long as Nick Martinez doesn't blow up in this game, which he didn't give you a veteran effort,

00:35six innings with two, two earned runs in that game. They pick up the victory. The Dodgers do lose,

00:39but I'm asking about Shohei Otani here. Any worries here on Otani? A little bit cramping?

00:44It's, it's a long season. And again, he hasn't been this two way player Donnie in a while, right? So

00:51now all of a sudden you get now that was again, his seventh start. I said, I think since

00:56since he was given the okay to actually begin throwing and it's not an easy thing here. And,

01:03but the interesting part is even though he removed himself from pitching for the crabs,

01:08he remained, if I'm correct, as the DH. So he was still taking at bat. So how bad could it have been

01:16there? But again, two totally different worlds, throwing off the mound and DHing two different

01:23animals there, but he stayed in the game. So I'm going to guess all is well with the cramping.

01:28I think that's in a very small field. So I'm going to guess all the eggs. I'm going to guess all the
