After all the hype for the \u201cMonster of the Reiwa Era,\u201d the\u00a0MLB\u00a0seems to be challenging for him. Or perhaps he needs more time to adjust and fit in. The Dodgers had a great game against the\u00a0Arizona Diamondbacks after a 14-11 victory. However, Sasaki was miserable on the mound.<\/p>\n<p>The pitcher surrendered five earned runs and five hits in just four innings. Sasaki had zero strikeouts and walked two hitters. It was a disastrous outing and another loss. Anthony Banda stepped in from the bullpen and turned out to be another disaster as well. Yet, memes have been flooding social media since Sasaki\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top 5 Hilarious Memes of Roki Sasaki:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cLive look at meatball Sasaki after
