vs. Dragons – July 29-31 – Best Week of the Year

The Hanshin Tigers have no reason to get too high after sweeping the lowly Tokyo Yakult Swallows at home earlier this week. After all, they faced inferior pitching and were just starting to heat up at the plate after battering the Hiroshima Carp (pun intended) last Sunday. This would be their last chance to enjoy…

Toritani Full Innings Streak Ends

On Sunday night in Hiroshima, the scoreboard looked like it needed correction: Where’s Takashi Toritani‘s name? This is the man who has played every inning of all of the past 667 games (4th longest such streak in NPB history) dating back to the first game of the 2012 season. Sure, he has hit in every slot…

Fantasy Tigers 2016 – Update 13

All-Star break gives us a good opportunity to evaluate how are teams are doing. Some categories are still up for grabs, while others are moving along in a predictable way. At the end of interleague, we did a mini-add/drop session to help our teams out. For those we added (**), stats only count from June 21st…
