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.

Watching the last few games, the Tigers have lost that air of confidence and are starting to try too hard in the batters box, i.e. swinging at everything, getting behind in the count early on. Some awful golf swings in the dirt tonight (August 3)!
It's fairly certain we won't break .500 on the road this month despite the so called "home games" at the Osaka Dome, so here's hoping for a Chunichi slump in August!
