Discussion in the The SoftBank Source forum
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.

Greisinger shut out the Hawks over five innings of two-hit ball, and his bullpen carried him the rest of the way as the Giants defeated the Hawks for a split at Yahoo! Dome.
The home team had left-hander Hiroki Yamada on the mound, fresh from his experience in Australia, and he did not disappoint either. He pitched good enough to win over six innings of one-run ball, with eight strikeouts and three walks. However, it was those three walks that killed Yamada in the end, as he walked the bases loaded in the 5th and gave up an RBI groundout to give the Giants a 1-0 lead.
The rest of the offense for Yomiuri came in the 8th off DeLeon and Kamiuchi. Kamiuchi gave up a hit to Kamei after getting two outs, and DeLeon was greeted by Hayato Sakamoto with a two-run blast to give the Giants a 3-0 lead.
The Giants bullpen was very good in this game, as they gave up just two hits in four innings of relief. Yuya Kubo and Norihito Kaneto each gave up a hit in their outings.
The Hawks now go out of doors to Kitakyushu for their next opponent, the Yokohama BayStars. That game will begin at 13:00, JST.
