Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.According to Wikipedia, that version (there are several) is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
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.

However, do advertisers also buy specific time slots during the game as well? I can't count the number of times when they will come to the top of an inning, then suddenly cut to another commercial. Then they come back with, say, someone already on base. So, are advertisers buying that specific time? Or do the broadcasters just not know what they are doing?
