Lineups and other strangeness
In yesterday's game against the Hawks, Brazell batted seventh behind Saka at sixth. Murton was at five. I talked about Mayumi's total lack of understanding of what a batting lineup was in my season's preview and on cue we have proof of this. Mayumi is actually talking of starting Murton at five in place of Kanemoto which means Brazell who topped scored in RBIs would bat sixth. Mayumi wants to find a place for his favourite Shunsuke Fujikawa and thinks that the opening batter slot would be the right one. Never mind that Murton broke the hits record for Japan whilst batting No. 1 and Shunsuke Fujikawa was undistinguished in getting on base. But surely no one would put Saka ahead of Brazell? Mayumi would.
However crowning glory recently was Minami-president commenting that if Kanemoto wasn't ready Tigers might have to look for an outfielder with power possibly through a trade. What was Uchikawa when he was available? Tigers didn't even try to approach him but he would have added just what was needed. Instead we had to have the useless signing of Fujii who added nothing to the side yesterday. Tigers were able to win the game 3-0 on some fine pitching by Nohmi and Iwata and good use of hits by their star batters.

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.
