Merrill Kelly called his four-season detour to South Korea a 'Lost in Translation' experience.
Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly throws against the Texas Rangers during the first inning in Game 2 of the baseball World Series Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Arlington, Texas.
"At this point in my career, nothing is going to shock me," Kelly said. "I think going over to Korea as a 26-year-old is way scarier than pitching in the big leagues or even in the World Series." Gabriel Moreno hit a go-ahead homer in a two-run fourth against Jordan Montgomery, and Tommy Pham went 4 for 4 with a pair of doubles. Arizona batters broke it open late as the young Diamondbacks rebounded quickly from an agonizing defeat the night before.
The best-of-seven Series, just the third between wild-card teams, shifts to Arizona for Game 3 on Monday in the first Series game at Phoenix since 2001."We'd be naive to think that we're going to run away with four in a row against a team that really fights hard like the same way we did," Rangers first baseman Nathanial Lowe said.
In an on-field interview with MLB Network, he called it "Lost in Translation" type stuff, referring to the 2003 Sofia Coppola movie of cultural displacement, saying "as far as how they view pitching, for four years I pretty much had to figure it out myself."
