Game Report: Orix vs Lotte, 3 July

Thursday night’s game left me wired. I woke up on Friday morning still thinking of the end to that game, and when I went into the office many others wanted to discuss it too. I thought it the sort of game a team could build upon, a game where you face your biggest rival in …

Interleague Game 19: Monsters of Makuhari

Who are these guys? Whoever they are, I like them – alot. After weeks of frustration, missed opportunities, and men left on base like unwanted promotional items, the Lotte offense has turned into the Monsters of Makuhari. In the past week, they’ve put up games of 9, 23, and now 9 runs again as they …

Interleague Game 18: We Shall Fight on the Beaches

Before tonight’s game vs Hiroshima at Chiba Marine – the last game between Lotte and Hiroshima in 2009 – I imagine Bobby Valentine gave our Marines a pep talk. I think it might have gone like this: “My fellow Marines. We have seen much together these past years. These last few weeks – the battles …

Interleague Game 16: What Goes Around…

The air was still sizzling after Sunday’s 7-HR slugfest between Lotte and Yokohama, but Monday’s game in Yokohama provided even more fireworks as the two teams traded blasts, but with Yokohama coming out on top 4-3. Sunday’s two-HR hero Ohmatsu was at it yet again, cranking a 2-run shot – his 3rd HR in 2 …

Interleague Game 15: Afternoon Delight

On a lovely late-spring day in beautiful downtown Yokohama both the Lotte and BayStars offenses put on a show, combining for 25 hits and 16 runs in a 9-7 Lotte victory. Lotte jumped on former Hokkaido starter Ryan Glynn right off the bat. With one out in the top of the first Fukuura and Ohmatsu …

Interleague Game 11: In the beginning….

… there was nothing. In the end, too, apparently. That’s what is left after 12 innings and nearly 4 hours – and still the score is 0-0. Nothing. WARNING: Giants fans may not want to proceed further. This is a pure anti-Giants zone, always. Everyone’s free to read, of course, but keep in mind this …

Interleague Game 6: Ouendan Tales

So the clouds decided to go away, the teams returned, and the second game of the Hanshin-Lotte series (though technically the first game) got underway. We made our way back to Koshien again for Monday’s game hoping to make it through 9 innings and get out with a Lotte victory. That we did, but the …

Interleague Game 4: Dragonslayers

Game 2 of the Chunichi-Lotte series kicked off at the unusual Saturday start time of 13:00 at a hot and sunny Chiba Marine Stadium. Up on the hill was Watanabe Shunsuke, who was looking for redemption after the I-won’t-admit-it-actually-happened 18-0 shellacking at the hands of Seibu, a game which he started and took the loss. …

Interleague Game 2: Bay Star Supernova

Forgive me if this sounds completely ridiculous – and believe me, I think it does, too – but despite giving up 3 HRs to the worst team in the Central League at home, Naruse Yoshihisa was really, really damn good in tonight’s 4-1 loss to Yokohama. How can that be? Let’s look at the way …

Game Report: Seibu vs Lotte, 5/16

Friday’s first game in the Seibu-Lotte series was a washout (though for some reason various publications reported the score as ‘Seibu 18, Lotte 0’, which is a really odd thing to report for a rainout.  I guess we’ll just look past it as if it never happened) so Saturday Lotte was looking to recover their …
