AI-generated summary
ドジャースはナ・リーグ優勝決定シリーズでブルワーズと対戦し、初戦から3連敗していた。大谷翔平はポストシーズンを通じて初めて「1番・指名打者」の打順に戻って出場した。
大リーグのドジャースは、窮地を脱することができなかった。
ブルワーズとのナショナル・リーグ優勝決定シリーズ(7試合制)で初戦から3連敗。15日(日本時間16日)の第4戦を4―6で落とし、3連覇がかかるワールドシリーズにたどり着くことなく、2026年シーズンを終えた。
大谷翔平はこの第4戦に「1番・指名打者」で出場した。このポストシーズンを通じて、初めて慣れ親しんだ打順に戻った。
結果は4打数1安打。その1安打は、周囲が待ち望んだ実に2カ月ぶりの本塁打だった。だが、難敵ブルワーズを倒すことはできなかった。
ドジャースは、先発投手陣の安定感に加え、強打がカラーのチーム。それが、リーグ優勝決定シリーズは、第3戦までで計7得点と低調だった。3試合で5本塁打を記録したブルワーズとは対照的に、一発が1本も出ていなかった。
それほど危機的状況に陥った大きな原因の一つが、やはり、大谷の極度の不振だった。
1番・指名打者が「指定席」だったが、ブレーブスとの地区シリーズで2番を打って以降は、打順も下がった。
4番で臨んだリーグ優勝決定シリーズ第1、2戦は計8打席で1安打。2戦目にはセーフティーバントの構えを見せた末に、空振り三振に倒れる悩ましさも見せた。
チームに貢献しようと努める気持ちがうかがえる反面、試合の流れを一変させる魅力も失われてしまった。
悲鳴を上げた体
ドジャースはポストシーズンに照準を定めてレギュラーシーズンを送る。にもかかわらず、唯一無二の「二刀流」選手は、最も大事なこの季節にマウンドに立てない。打席でも本来の状態には程遠い。
26年シーズン開幕を前に…

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers hit 30 home runs and won eight games in the regular season, but struggled in the postseason and missed out on advancing to the World Series. He said that the season felt long due to an early start with his sights set on the WBC in March, and injuries to his left knee and right arm that began around the summer. He was unable to pitch on July 3rd, and his batting performance was poor. His physical condition has waxed and waned during the adjustment process to return to playing two-way games, and the challenge of maintaining his pitching and hitting at a high level while coming to terms with the stress placed on his 32-year-old body has once again been highlighted. Coach Roberts said, ``It's important to recognize that he's not as superhuman as we think he is,'' and emphasized that neither he nor the team has any plans to stop trying to play two-way games.
