個人の記録は、この試合に関して全然関係ない。最後は岩瀬さんに投げてほしかった。僕の方から「代わります」と言った。Source: Nikkan Sports November 2, 2007 Kanto Area paper edition, page 3.
This game was not about an individual record. In the end, I wanted Iwase to throw. The "Change [pitchers]" was voiced from me.
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.

Terrible. Ochiai deserves scorn from the fans, the players, everyone!
