Blue Jays manager John Schneider was not a fan of what he believed to be an unusually long warmup for Dodgers two-way star and World Series Game 7 starter Shohei Ohtani on Saturday night.
After the top of the first inning, in which Ohtani had stepped up to the plate as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter, the Japanese star emerged from the dugout with under a minute left in the countdown parameters for pitcher warmups, which are designated to be two minutes and 55 seconds for postseason games, per MLB rules.
