The only difference is the bullpen! If anything Hanshins batting after 10 games has been stronger than ever although disappointing in the clutch.
How about NO-FK?? as in "no way!" (Nohmi, Fujikawa, Kubota emphasis on the NO!!! He`s not cutting the mustard and probably needs some time back down in the farm team. Im sure Fujikawa will find his rhythm, just needs a few good innings to get his confidence back.

I'd have to agree with Christopher.
They still have the lowest ERA of both leagues (.277), and the second highest batting average by a whisker (.307 compared to Yomiuri's .308). They even match the Giants in home runs (17). Three of their four losses were by one or two runs. Tonight they snapped a two-game losing streak; before that they won five in a row.
Hardly time to press the panic button. Tinker with the middle relief a little and I'm sure a solution will be found. They'll be fine.

hmm i too agree too early but when i see the GIANTS running away with all the close games i cant take this as easy as last season.
Yesterday Poor Egusa, lost a win. Hanshin batters had 7 hits but one run. Imaoka was pathetic in his double play kncoking himself down. He is proving to be a main weak link in the lineup...
hope his gets it done sooner than later..
may be he can be tried out with Kataoka or Sekimoto.

I've heard that. To avoid a balk because of the new rule, Sugiyama had to change his motion, leading to a terrific start. Miura of BayStars is another case.

Once it was Oxspring in the 8th inning with Yakult and then 5-0 in the 6th By Shimoyanagi and then again 5-3 lead yesterday with Fujikawa..
What is wrong with the best relievers in either league?
I think its gonna be a tough 4th place finish as usual.
Against Baystars too its they gifted us one game.
I dont really panic but by seeing the average of each batter in team except Imaoka and Yano averages about .350.
Something has to be done guys.. What do u think?
