Game 17 vs. Giants – Fujinami’s Leash Was Too Long, Part Duh

Game 17 vs. Giants – Fujinami’s Leash Was Too Long, Part Duh
April 20, 2018

I said it in the Game 2 recap, and I’ll say it again: our young “ace” needs a short leash. And at this point, he just needs to be put in the doghouse and kept there for awhile. His six walks in five innings led to the team’s demise in the first “Classic Series” game at Koshien this season.


Starting Pitchers: Shintaro Fujinami (0-0, 3.78 ERA) vs. Tomoyuki Sugano (1-2, 4.29 ERA)


Actually I lost interest in this one early on, and didn’t bother watching the carnage. If you really want details on how this went down, go for it. I leave you with the scoreboard.


Final Score: Yomiuri 8, Hanshin 2
LP: Fujinami (0-1)
Team Record: 9-8-0
