As seen in Daily Sports Online (Japanese only) / デイリースポーツオンライン連載コラム・トレバーの虎場から I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since last Tuesday night’s anti-climactic loss mathematically eliminated the Hanshin Tigers from winning the pennant in 2021. Which Tigers fan has NOT been doing a lot of thinking??? Why could we not seal the deal? How long will…

The common thought about the NPB playoff format, particularly among the ex-pat community, is “it’s stupid” or “ridiculous” or “unfair.” I dare argue that it is actually quite reasonable.
Host T-Ray is joined by JD to celebrate (and re-hash) the series win against the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, then choose our Men of the Match, and finally, talk about how the Tigers can keep this going against the Yomiuri Giants.

See Recaps of Game 1 here, and Game 2 here. The Kansai area got way too much rain for baseball to have been played on Sunday or Monday. But due to poor scheduling plans, one of those days had a historically muddy game. After Monday night off, the teams played a winner-takes-all matchup on Tuesday….
Heading into last weekend’s playoff series at Koshien, the weather forecast looked quite grim. The best-of-three schedule was to see Game 1 played Saturday, Game 2 on Sunday, and Game 3 on Monday. Tuesday was a rain date in case it would be needed. The Final Stage of the Climax Series has been scheduled to…
It sure has been a dry stretch in the NPB baseball season. Having played just one game in the past week, the Tigers must be feeling quite antsy to get the playoff schedule started! We fans feel the same way, too, no doubt. As we wait for the playoffs to start this coming weekend, here’s…
Co-hosts T-Ray and Whiz-Oh talk about the first stage of the Climax Series – Tigers vs. Giants. The rest of the show is a mixture of various topics, such as a look back on the whole season, giving thanks to Yutaka Wada for 31 years of service with the Hanshin Tigers, and a shout-out to…
