Games 53-55 @ Eagles: Sky Attack KO’s Tigers

Games 53-55 @ Eagles: Sky Attack KO’s Tigers

In some ways, this series was doomed from the start. Under normal circumstances, the previous series against the Marines would have ended on Sunday late afternoon and the team would have had nearly 48 hours between the end of that series and the start of this one. Instead, because of a Friday night rainout, there…

Games 48-50 vs. Eagles: Back to Not Scoring Runs

No one said playing the 1st place team in the Pacific League, the Rakuten Eagles, would be easy. But with them entering this series on a 2-9 stretch, it should not have been this hard to put runs on the board. Yes, they have great starting pitching and their bullpen is pretty good. However, our…

You expect to win two, if not three when you’re playing against a bottom-feeding team like  the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles. The Tigers barely pulled it off – but hey, we’ll take the wins any way we get them. Game 58 – Kids Back in Kanemoto’s Good Books? Starting Pitchers: Shintaro Fujinami vs. Wataru Karashima…

Preseason in Tokai (@ Eagles, @ Dragons x 2)

March 16: Stomping on the Eagles in Shizuoka This game started quite slowly, as the two aces showed off their repertoires before helpless bats. Our guys finally got to Takahiro Norimoto in the fifth, when Kento Itohara smacked a 2-run double to the left field corner. T 2-0 E Randy Messenger is just getting warmed…

Series Recap: May 26-28, 2015

 This season has been one of streaks for the Tigers. Earlier, they went a whole month without stopping any losing streak at 1 or being stopped after just 1 win.
