"You know you got the money that you got for a reason," Hernández said. "It's not because you project. They didn't give you the money because of what they think they can do to your stuff. They gave you the money because of who you are."
"Trust that your s- is better than their s- even if that specific pitch is the best pitch that that guy hits," Hernández said. "Trust that your best is not what he hits from other people. Your best can still overpower people and get people out."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw a complete game, his second straight, in Game 2 of the World Series, allowing one earned run on four hits while striking out eight and walking none. The Dodgers won Game 2 to even the series at one game apiece. Yamamoto cleaned the dugout before entering the clubhouse, demonstrating attention to detail and team-first behavior. Kiké Hernández praised Yamamoto's worth relative to his $325 million contract, saying the money reflects who he is rather than projections about his stuff. Hernández urged Yamamoto to trust that his best pitching can overpower hitters. Yamamoto became the first pitcher since Curt Schilling in 2001 to throw consecutive complete postseason games, providing crucial relief to a taxed bullpen amid elite starting pitching and porous relief performances, with rookie Roki Sasaki serving as closer.
