Tyler Glasnow described Shohei Ohtani as consistent and confident despite his slump during a Los Angeles Dodgers team press conference on October 15, 2026.
Glasnow observed Ohtani as a teammate and said his preparation and behavior do not change whether he is performing well or poorly. “He's just kind of the same,” Glasnow said. He added that teammates treat Ohtani normally because Ohtani remains confident in himself: “it's just business as usual.” Glasnow joked that directly telling Ohtani, “You got this,” would not fit their normal interactions, saying Ohtani “he'd be like like you know what I mean.”
Glasnow described Milwaukee's lineup as difficult because its hitters offer varied skills, including speed, contact, small-ball ability and power: “there's so many guys that can do so many different things.” He compared Milwaukee's lineup with lineups from the Tampa Bay Rays and noted that the Brewers are focused on extending at-bats and making contact rather than relying only on home runs: “they're trying to draw out at bats.”
Against Milwaukee, Glasnow plans to use an individual approach against each hitter while trying to control the running game. “each hitter has its own individual game plan,” he stated. In major moments, he tries to neutralize adrenaline by settling into a normal feeling and staying consistent with his preparation: “just try to like stay within what I've done all week.”
Glasnow also expressed confidence in Blake Snell, saying Snell thrives in major situations because he prepares thoroughly, understands what makes him effective and does not deviate. “he knows what makes him good and he sticks to it,” Glasnow noted, adding, “I have a lot of confidence in him tonight.”
