00:00Dodgers star displays bizarre warm-up routine, fans lose it.
00:05If you tuned into Dodgers vs. Brewers expecting just a baseball game,
00:09you might have thought you accidentally switched to a live Cirque du Soleil performance
00:14when Yoshinobu Yamamoto showed up for warm-ups.
00:18The Dodgers Japanese ace, who's set to start Game 2 of the NLCS,
00:22decided to throw in a little pre-game gymnastics routine before Game 1.
00:26And let me tell you, it was something.
00:28Caught on Spectrum Sportsnet, Yamamoto dropped into a full-on bridge stretch.
00:34Yes, like the one your high school cheerleading squad did.
00:37Then kicked his feet up onto the wall and climbed it.
00:40Fans were baffled, amused, and frankly, impressed.
00:44One viewer quipped,
00:45Bro is in the wrong sport.
00:48And the hits kept coming.
00:49I'll nominate him for a slot on the Japanese gymnastics team, one fan offered.
00:54The Dodgers scraped out a tight 2-1 win in Game 1,
00:57thanks to some absolutely dominant pitching.
01:01Blake Snell?
01:02He was lights out.
01:048 scoreless innings, 10 strikeouts, didn't even blink.
01:08Then Roki Sasaki and Blake Trinan came in and closed it out like cold-blooded assassins.
01:14Freddie Freeman reminded everyone why he's still one of the most consistent bats in the league,
01:18going deep in the 6th and ripping a double in the 8th to give L.A. the offensive edge they needed.
01:23Now, all eyes turned to Yamamoto.
01:26He didn't pitch in the opener, but he's on deck for Game 2.
01:30And he's got some unfinished business.
01:32He gave up 5 runs in less than an inning back in July.
01:36Not the kind of memory you want haunting you in October.
01:39But this is post-season baseball,
01:41where yesterday's disaster becomes today's highlight reel.
01:44And if Yamamoto brings even half the flair to the mound that he did to the wall,
01:49we might just be in for a show.
