How was the mentality of Teuscar Hernándz October magic
Philadelphia – Teoscar Hernández does not lack emotion. He plays with joy, with abundance, with joy.
Evaches know that it can strike. We all do. If the passion is dispensed, so it can perform.
Hernandez could have been the goat on Saturday night, in what would have been the first loss of the post -season. Instead, hitting the game -winning home running, raising nearly the first rule, and the October champion again.
In 16 posts in Dodgers last year, he reached three runs at home and led in 12 runs. In the three Dodgers games after the season so far this year, he achieved three runs at home and led at nine.
You may feel anxious of his unequal defense. The second may be guessed from the defensive play that puts the evaders in an early hole.
All this ends well, as it is clear from its operation on its three lands run by the evaders, by defeating 5-3 over the opening of the National Division League in Philadelphia.
“For me, anything that happened a big moment before, it’s in the past,” said Hernandez.
“I try to put it in the trash and focus only on the things I have to do.”
In the second half, when a tie was then a tie without goals, Velez put the contestants in the first and second place without going out. The JT Realmuto mask climbed a quick ball Ohtani to the right center, where Hernandez approached the ball but did not seem to accelerate while the ball was skipped behind him.
If Hernandez had cut the ball, Realmuto would have had one, and Veles had scored two halves in the half. Instead, Realmuto had three times – matching his total season – and later scored a third round in the half.
“I would like to claim that he is not trying,” said Dodgers director Dave Roberts, Hernandez. “But, yes, this is a ball that you don’t want to have Realmuto three times.”
On Twitter, published former Dodgers Brett Anderson – then deleted – this: “If you are a little, I will need Teuscar Hernández to try more difficult.”
Hernandez said he did not get a good corner towards the difficult ball. Roberts referred to Hernandez a defensive amendment to a later ball, as he shaded the line to keep Price Harper to one instead of an external blow that could have led home in Veles.

The evaders reduced Hernandez’s defensive exposure last year by often playing on the left stadium, with Mookie Betts in the right field. This year, with Betts refused in Shortstop and the evaders refused to add a player on the deadline on the deadline, Hernández played the right stadium throughout the season.
The only pioneer who plays more roles in the right stadium this season and ends up in the decline in Manage the defense: The Phillies’ Nick Castellanos, who entered the Saturday match only after Harrison had a thigh injury.
Do not make mistakes, though: Hernandez is here to strike. Dodgers Hernández gave a three -year contract worth $ 66 million in the last winter, knowing well that the appointed hit will not be an option because of this Athaian man.
As Will Smith, the mask, explained the drafting on Saturday to a correspondent wondering whether he might spend more time as DH in the future: “We got a very good DH. I think we are in a good position in it,” said Will Smith, the mask, explained the drafting on Saturday to a correspondent wondering whether he might spend more time as DH in the future.
Hernandez was not hitting and did not play well in the second half, causing Roberts to say at the beginning of September that he urged his right player to “enter the fighting.” In the last week of August, he even introduced Hernandez for one day.
“I think we have lost a little of that edge over the past two months. For me, I want to see that edge, that battle, that fire, and I will bet on any result,” said Roberts.
In September, Hernandez. In the first post -season Dodgers game, he arrived at home in successive bats.
On Saturday, in the post -season match, he ascended to the bats in the eighth half with two on, two, and the late Dodgers from one half – Velez scored one additional round when he could not run in this triple world.
Hernandez smiled. skip.
“It was a great moment,” said Utani.
In his face, we saw joy.
