vs. BayStars – June 28-30 – Consistently Inconsistent

How can a team forget a humiliating (and frustrating) sweep at the hand of the league leaders over the weekend? Beat up on an opponent that has been kind to them so far this year! That’s right, the Tigers found a lot of strange ways to lose to the Carp in Hiroshima to open the…

Episode 36 – An Interview with #36 Matt Hague

Host T-Ray and co-host Jimbo talk in detail about the four games this past week (1 vs. Buffaloes, 3 @ Carp). We also choose our players of the week and predict the week to come (vs. DeNA; @ Chunichi). But the main feature is a (relatively) lengthy interview with import Matt Hague.

@ Carp – June 24-26 – Hitting Rock Bottom… We Hope

@ Carp – June 24-26 – Hitting Rock Bottom… We Hope

No CL team has been hotter since mid-May than the Hiroshima Carp. In fact, they broke free from the pack nicely during interleague play, while the Tigers sputtered and found themselves four games underwater. Still, the season is only half over, and manager Kanemoto says he’s in no way aiming for anything lower than a first…

Fantasy Tigers 2016 – Update 11

We have now played exactly half the season – well, as exact as you can be in a 143-game season. After 71 games, the Tigers are starting to show us that 2016 may not be the year for a championship, but it is a year of growth and change, and that’s what Kanemoto promised us! Here…

We choose our player of the week, predict the upcoming series in Hiroshima (Friday to Sunday) and then are joined by Jimbo for a special mid-season fantasy re-draft!

vs. Buffaloes – June 14, 15, 20 – Interleague Ends with a W

The Tigers combined to win two of nine (one vs. Lions, none @ Marines and one @ Fighters) against quality Pacific League opponents. Their two wins against the then-last place Eagles was barely acceptable, and the same result against the now-last place Buffaloes would also be the bare minimum, though a sweep would definitely be preferred,…

Fantasy Tigers 2016 – Update 10

Have we already made 10 updates this fantasy season? WOW! Interleague is almost done and then maybe all of our pitching numbers will settle down again… at least the guys on the farm (who receive a 10% penalty for playing at a lower level) don’t have to worry about interleague! Mind you, SoftBank is in…
