August 25th Andoh v Imamura - The roar of the 'Black Tigers'
(
Tiger Tails
)
What to say about this quite incredible game? Tigers heading for humiliation turned the game around and proceeded to rub the Carp's noses in the dirt. Both starting pitchers were truly terrible but it was Carp who made the most of their chances in the early stages. Tigers turned things around and scored 17 - yes 17 - runs in their final two innings as Carp's relief pitching imploded dramatically. Kanemoto finally started to look like a No. 6 batter and his contribution in the seventh was vital. With Giants losing this again put Tigers in the top spot by percentage points but Tigers need to keep on winning and they face a sterner test with the Swallows starting on Friday. Scores

August 29th Kubo v Yamamoto - Swallows steamrollered
(
Tiger Tails

It was very much a case of too much power overwhelming the Swallows pitching with their starter lasting just two innings. Their relief struggled hard to hold the Tigers but even they couldn't stem what turned into a comfortable victory for the Tigers. Brazell finally broke out of his solo period with a nice three run home run and Mayumi didn't over pitch Kubo who pitched quite nicely this game. Tsuru was originally expected to start the game but Mayumi switched to Kubo - a decision which proved very wise. Scores

August 24th Kubo v Shinoda - 4/10 - must try harder
(
Tiger Tails
)
The dates for the rescheduled games have been released and it's clear that a big chance has been missed. The two potentially vital Tigers/Giants games at Koshien have been allocated to the 28th and 29th September whilst Tigers last game is a contest against Yokohama on 7th October and Giants last game is against Swallows on 8th October. Surely, it would have been better to put the Tigers/Giants games as the last games of the season? What better way to provide a great climax to the season especially if both teams are still in with a chance? As it is we have a load of irrelevant games following the important clash which if they were before the two games would have much more significance. Surely, someone in NPB understands the significance of marketing? It seems not.

August 27th Messenger v Tateyama - Tigers don't roar
(
Tiger Tails
)
It was a surprise to see Messenger pitching - one thought that after his previous bad starts he would be sidelined but no. He wasn't too bad but disintergrated with runners on. It was also nice to see Sajikihara back in the relief even though he was a bit wild and gave up two runs. There was some good stuff in his pitching. If he can curb the wildness he can be a most useful addition to the bullpen just when it needs it. Tateyama was very, very good and fully deserved his win. We do need someone of his quality. Scores
