What are you babbling about? Smoke and mirrors of Chiba Lotte? I'm like the only Chiba Lotte fan who posts somewhat regularly, and they are far from a glamorous power hitting team. I don't think anyone else here really expects them to go far this year.
This post is pointless and really not needed, since there was another topic written about Nippon Ham's pitching.

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.

- Takeda 1.87 ERA, 8-2 record
- Darvish 1.94 ERA, 12-4 record
- Glynn 2.25 ERA, 9-7 record
And with Ejiri, Takeda Hisashi, and Micheal as closer, it is hard for me to think of how anyone can beat them in a short series playoff, especially if they get the home field advantage.I know all you Nippon Ham disbelieves are going to say they do not have enough offense. Well, they carry the best record in NPB, not just the Pacific League. And they play in the PL, where there is way better parity. They do not have the luxury of going to Hiroshima and Yakult and being guaranteed 2 out of 3 in a series every week. The competition in the PL is much more even as far as team strength.
It might not be pretty, but they do what is most important, and that is win. Are the people on this board going to finally open their eyes, or are they still going to be blinded by the smoke and mirrors of Chiba Lotte? Teams win championships, not individuals!
