Coming off the all-star break, which was not much of a break for our main players (who pretty much all got voted to the team), the team needed to build some momentum. After all, a six-game home stand next week marks the end of Tigers baseball at Koshien Stadium for nearly a whole month, as…
When attending a baseball game in Japan, one must experience the food in tandem with the action on the field! Japan is world-renowned for putting a lot of thought, effort, and quality into its cuisine… and the ballparks are no exception! There is a lot of great food besides what we have for you here,…
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…

The Hiroshima series in the first half of the week left a sour taste in our mouths. We were coming home tired (LONG games) and defeated (0-2-1), and their aces (Ohno and Yanagi) were slated to face us. Somehow, though, we figured them both out enough to score some runs. While we did not hang…
