After one of the most successful August road trips ever (at least I presume that 18-5 is good), the Tigers were welcomed home at Koshien Stadium by excited fans, by kids who were hoping to witness a win before returning to school, by a new cheer song for Shota Morishita. But they got beaten fair…
There’s nothing more satisfying than beating down the Yomiuri Giants at Koshien Stadium. Tuesday was a memorial game for the late Shintaro Yokota, and the team came through with a big win, thanks to clutch hitting from Yusuke Ohyama and Teruaki Sato. Wednesday saw the team storm back from a 5-3 deficit in a thriller….
A mysterious decision to call Friday’s game because of rain that never came meant this series was just a two-gamer. The first one was a tight game, and the Tigers kind of blew a big chance in the bottom of the sixth inning. Having already tied the game on a Yusuke Ohyama RBI double, there…
Interleague has taught us an important lesson. Our relievers are good, but they aren’t invincible.

The end of the pandemic (for all intents and purposes) means not only cheering at baseball games, but also the return of countryside-hosted games! The Tigers headed to Toyohashi on Tuesday, where the Dragons hosted them and allowed 9 runs. Seems like the Tigers would fare much better there than at hollow, cavernous Vantelin Dome….
Let’s just forget about what happened on Tuesday, shall we? OK, just one sentence. It was our fourth straight game of putting up just a single run. And Wednesday, we were close to doing the same, as it took until extra innings for our run total to break the barrier. On Thursday, the bats finally…
If you are a new fan and are not particularly familiar with the team, let this be your introduction! We are going to break down the entire roster for you very briefly so you can get a feel for who is whom, what they have done, and what they might do in 2023 and beyond….

Here is a partial transcript translated into English from the original. ―How does it feel to be a member of the Tigers? I’m very excited. I’m happy to be here. It’s a long trip to get here, and…
