The second round starts
So we move to the second round of the Climax series with Tigers taking on Gomiuri. A very good start based on some strong batting by Gomez and nice pitching from Fujinami. We saw Wada's propensity to over-pitch his pitchers again but in a series like this it is acceptable. Fujinami may get another start in Game 6 - plenty of time for a rest. Tigers won the game 4-1 with three runs from the bat of Gomez including a two run home run and one run from the bat of Toritani. It was all nicely paced as well. One note of caution though - even though it is nice to start the series off with a victory it still means that under Climax Series second stage rules the series is tied 1-1. The home team gets a one game advantage as well as home turf.

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.
