Hoping he goes for a quality start today! Six innings pitched with no more than 3 earned runs!💪
Please prove those haters wrong, roki

I’m beyond curious to see how this goes
Hes striking out 13 in 3 innings
Please
I think all 3 of our starters went 6 innings and 2 earned runs. If Roki can match that then he is doing great. If he can go 5 innings and 3 earned runs, it won’t be a bad outing for him.
I just want our offense to score early to help him settle down.
All gonna depend on the first inning; if he can show control I think he’ll be okay
Please don’t get hammered.
Stunt on these hoes Sasaki-kun!

Why does this feel like Bobby Miller 2.0? Wouldn’t it be best for him to be a bullpen arm?
I just want roki to do well today, please 😭🙏🏼
Idrc if he does all that well even, I’d just like to see even a portion of his control from last season back tonight. If he can locate the zone and has consistent command, that’s enough for me at the moment, considering how his spring went
Better have Wrobo on standby in the 1st.
Who else is nervous for him?
Step 1. Get nervous
Step 2. Look at NLW table
Step 3. Relax
# WE NEED ROKI OF THE YEAR BACK. I BELIEVE
His mistakes come from being too in his own head.
It happened to Sheehan the other day too. The kid was dealing and his ball got flat after a few missed pitches.
Thank you for clarifying the long O in his first name.
I believe
Poor guy, even in this photo he looks like he’s about to cry

Hoping he can settle into his talent, for sure.
Praying for fewer than two walks for the outing

I literally wouldn’t care if he gives up 5 runs. Just get through 4-5 innings and walk 2 or less
Hoping for 3 innings with an ERA less than 10. Not sure I can realistically expect that with what we’ve seen.
Roki’s dad passed away in the big Fukashima earthquake in March 2011. 15 years ago. I hope he comes out big this year. He’s had a tough go.

Fun Fact: After taxes and agent fees (not including the bonus), Roki will earn $327,000 this year.
Rent a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Burbank for the year, maybe buy a nice house in Bakersfield.
