August 30th and 31st - Depressing news
Tigers seem to have lost their mojo against Swallows. It does make one sad seeing them play so poorly against an inferior team with mediocre pitchers but there we are. The batting failed on both occasions with very little in the way of intelligent shot play and poor support for the young pitchers. It does a pitcher's confidence no good as in the second match when first Toritani and then Gomez commit errors to load the bases. And what is it with the Koshien scorer? - just because Toritani is team captain he can do no wrong? The shot hit at him was a straightforward take which he missed and let bounce off his chest blowing a double play in the process. It was not a hit to short. No wonder Iwasada struggled. Tigers batting was very lazy in both games and the results bear this out 4-1 and 4-2 to Swallows.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
