Tigers blow a lead
Against Swallows Tigers got off to a dream start - hammering in 7 runs in the first innings. This should have been a winning score and the pitcher was Iwamoto. Unfortunately he was paired with Fujii who was abysmal. In the first three innings the Swallows were able to score 1-1-3 and Fujii exited to be replaced by Hidaka. Tigers picked up another run in the seventh but Hidaka was hit by the relief and Swallows scored two in the eighth. Tigers still led but only by one run (8-7). Komiyama was brought in to hold the line and managed to restrict the Swallows to one run making the final score 8-8. There are currently massive questions about both Fujii and Hidaka as catchers with Komiyama the lead candidate for starting catcher. The relief though is a big worry.

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.
