After the first two games of this series went to the team that did not deserve them (in my opinion… Friday’s Dragons committed 4 errors and still pulled off a win, while Hanshin’s lone hit that left the infield was its last one on Saturday), this one actually played out quite calmly. Very little drama,…
Yesterday’s loss left a bad taste in the mouths of many a Hanshin fan, and the scoreless inning streak looked like it might even stretch all the way to Sunday. All game, only two Tigers made it to first base safely, both on infield hits, through 24 outs. Fortunately, as they say, baseball is a…
With just five outs to go, this one looked to be a beautiful home opener for the Tigers. Team up by 2, Fujinami went 6 IP 1 R, and the Dragons had committed 4 errors. I mean, you can’t win when you’re fielding that poorly, can you? Not against the almighty Hanshin bullpen, right? Wrong….
Big game from our #2 hitter and #6 (?) starter as the Tigers avoid a series sweep in Hiroshima. Facebook Comments
As seen in Daily Sports Online (Japanese) / トレバーの虎場（デイリースポーツ）から Ah, Koshien… how we missed you last year. It’s so great to have high school boys back at the best ballpark in Japan, leaving everything on the field for a chance at glory. It truly is a beautiful tournament and set-up, and damn you, Covid-19, for…
Rookie pitcher Masashi Itoh made his debut and was decent… he left the game after 5 innings and the game tied 2-2. Then, their batters got good wood on a couple of fat pitches from our relief squad. Facebook Comments
We saved our best pitcher, Yuki Nishi, for today because he pitches well against the Carp, especially in Hiroshima. He did not disappoint. Unfortunately, their pitcher (Masato Morishita) also pitches well against us, regardless of the ballpark. The result is a regrettable loss by the slimmest of margins. Facebook Comments
After a rollercoaster of a ride on Opening Day, the Tigers settled down nicely to finish off the Yakult Swallows on the weekend. This contrasts nicely with last season’s opening weekend sweep at the hands of the Giants. The power on display at Meiji Jingu Stadium sure gave fans a lot to get excited about!…
The 2021 season started on time, and with excitement at an all-time high, the Hanshin Tigers took to Meiji Jingu Stadium to square off against the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. Unlike last year’s opener, our ace pitcher was neither spectacular, nor did he do much of anything at the plate. But it did not matter because…
