Host T-Ray is joined by JD as they talk about the last fortnight of Tigers ball, including a couple of unforgettable home runs by our newest acquisition. They then name their players of the month for July, complain a little about Yano’s strategic choices, and talk about how the team can balance the five capable,…
June ended with a couple of humiliating losses to the Chunichi Dragons, dropping the team from the thick of the hunt to the back of the pack. July didn’t start any better, but at least it ended with a hope that run production is about to improve by leaps and bounds. If only the same…

This is it. The century mark. Triple digits. We’ve talked a lot of Hanshin Tigers baseball over the years, and in this episode, we celebrate it. We also recorded some of this episode at Koshien during a baseball game. Enjoy!
