After winning six straight, including a sweep at Tokyo Dome against the Giants, it looked as though the Tigers were turning the corner on their season. Alas, as tends to be the case, the series after facing the Giants was a stinker. Golden Week was anything but golden as kids at Koshien were treated to…
Hosts T-Ray and Sanjay discuss team news, the last eleven games of Tigers (winning record!) baseball, and then roast manager Akihiro Yano for his managing blunders. After that, they choose their pitcher(s) and hitter(s) of the month for March/April, and talk about why the 4-20-1 Tigers are not the same as the 6-0 Tigers of…
Quick: when was the last time the Hanshin Tigers took all three games in a series against the Giants at Tokyo Dome? The answer, apparently, pre-dates H-TEN by a year. It was 2013! Junya Nishi showed us why he was worth being chosen in the first round of the 2019 draft, going 7 strong innings….
Here is a list of guys who contributed to the team’s HUGE win today, and where they came from: Aaron Wilkerson (5 IP 2 R, Milwaukee Brewers) / Yuta Watanabe (1 IP 0 R, W, SoftBank Hawks) / Ren Kajiya (1 IP 0 R, SoftBank Hawks) / Yoshio Itoi (2-4, 2 RBI, Orix Buffaloes) /…
No matter that the Tigers defeated Giants’ ace Tommy Smugano last time around… he’s still not one to be taken lightly. When he helped us load the bases in the top of the second with no outs, I thought we could get him good again. But… we scored none. Our leadoff hitter in the third,…
From our monthly Daily Sports column / デイリースポーツの連載コラムから It’s funny how a couple of wins will cheer up your soul, even after a whole string of losses. The Hanshin Tigers started the year 1-15-1 and now find themselves sitting at 7-20-1 (as of April 28). Still in last and that will not change for weeks,…
OK calm down. Take a deep breath. The Tigers have won 4 of their last 5 games. They have a three-game winning streak for the first time this year. They defeated both the pitcher who shut them out earlier this year (Katsuno) and the one who no-hit them three years back (Ohno). But calm down….
After an extremely disappointing series in Yokohama, the team kept fighting and had a decent weekend against the defending (but injured) champs. The starters did an outstanding job and in the two games that the batters showed up, they put up ample runs. For some reason on Saturday, they were unable to cross home even…
Not much to say here. The team blew a four-run lead on Tuesday, could not score to save their lives on Wednesday, and blew two leads on Thursday. They are really having problems getting into the win column… Facebook Comments
Hosts T-Ray and Sanjay discuss team news, the most recent 11-game stretch (Games 10-20), and what has gotten into manager Akihiro Yano and his players! Then, they get out their calculators and project the current team and individual stats forward to see what kind of end numbers everyone is on pace for. No post-show-show again…
