Games 38-40 vs Carp: More Pennies in the Bank!
Coming off a three-game sweep of the Dragons on the road, the Tigers returned to Koshien Stadium for the weekend. They were greeted by a hungry Carp team that feasted on struggling (and now farmed) pitcher Koyo Aoyagi. Though the team brought that game to a tie at the mid-way point, the bullpen pitchers had…
Games 22-24 @ Swallows: Shutouts and Bombs!
The Tigers came off their biggest shutout win of the two-league era on Thursday night at Koshien (where they defeated the Yomiuri Giants 15-0). The good times continued at hitter-friendly Jingu Stadium, as they kept the home team off the board for 20 straight innings. Koutaro Ohtake was effective on Friday for 5 innings, and…
Games 17-19 @ Dragons: Vantelin Fails to Soothe Our Pain
I could just copy and paste any of my Nagoya series recaps from the past 8 years and you would hardly know the difference. Our team simply does not perform well at Vantelin Dome Nagoya. Our pitchers are fine, but our hitters struggle to put up multiple runs. That being the case, winning games is…
Games 12-13 @ Baystars: Can’t Find the W Button in Yokohama
Heading into this series, our Tigers had lost 8 straight regular season games in Yokohama. (But don’t worry – we beat them in the playoffs last season in their park!) We had two outstanding pitchers take the mound in this rain-abbreviated series (no game on Saturday)… Hiroto Saiki did his job really well, but Koyo…
Games 6-8 vs. Swallows: No Offense, but Our Pitching is GREAT
This weekend was a rematch between the last two teams standing in the Central League last season. The Tigers got swept by the Swallows at Jingu to end manager Akihiro Yano‘s tenure with the team. In came new manager Akinobu Okada, who has a great head for the game and is said to be a…
Games 1-3 vs. Baystars: WWWhat a Great Feeling!
A new season is upon us, folks! It is always exciting when Hanshin Tigers baseball is on the telly every day, and we can enjoy seeing our heroes doing what they do best. Going up against the weaker half of the Baystars’ rotation helped. They did not have Imanaga ready, and injuries to Ohnuki and…
Hanshin Player Primer 2023: The Rotation
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….
Climax Series First Stage Game 3: Dramatic Season Continues!
Going back to Game 1 of this series, the Hanshin Tigers hadn’t scored a run in 13 straight innings heading into this one. The Baystars took a two-run lead after three innings (which included 2 Tigers errors, plus a wild pitch). The momentum was completely in their favor. It looked like our season would be…
Game 143 vs. Swallows: Meaningless Tie in Meaningless Game – We’re Playoff-Bound!
Thanks to the Yakult Swallows beating the Hiroshima Carp on September 29 and 30, they were eliminated from the playoff race. Then the Yokohama DeNA Baystars beat the Yomiuri Giants on October 1, which mathematically eliminated the orangemen. This meant neither was our final game must-win, nor were any of the other two CL games…
