He's more of an old schooler who would use humiliation as a motivation tactic, right? Nomura's probably hoping that this would be a big learning experience for Teppei.

Nothing wrong with Nomura's tactics. Teppei needs to learn that sport isn't always easy. If he's got the strength of character he will come through. If anything it's a show of faith in a young player who is given a chance to prove himself.

I think I'd have to side with Christopher here. Ruin a young guy's mentality? I think leaving him in there could have the opposite effect - as long as the coaches are working with him between games to try and overcome the problem.
I wouldn't have smirked, though.

That's Nomu-san's default expression, isn't it? I wouldn't read too much into it.

Which is why I wouldn't have done it.

Maybe it's a misinterpreted grimace similar to when babies smile when they have wind.
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.

Teppei is a young guy who's just getting a taste of being an ichi-gun member, let alone a starter. If I were manager, I'd worry about how something like that could ruin a young player's mentality. What do you guys think?
