In the 17th round of Yakult Hanshin (26th, Jingu), the referees and director Hanshin Yano (51) had a fight. I explained to him in a representative interview.

In the game on the 26th, Hanshin Bench requested an attack request in the top of the seventh inning. There was a scene where the umpires and Yano talked before the start of the bottom of the eighth inning and after the game about whether Chikamoto, who was in the next batter’s seat, interacted with the reporter who was in the seat of the batter. back press during the deliberation of the decision. ..

Mr. Fuchibuchi said that he apologized to Yano this afternoon for the delay in the progress of the game. Mr. Mori, who was the responsible referee the day before, bowed when exchanging limbs before the match that day.

In addition to Mr. Mori’s report, Mr. Fuchibuchi also met with the reporter that day. Then, “I found out from interviewing the reporter earlier, but because of that (countermeasure) from Corona, (the press seat) has a normally closed window open for ventilation, and the reporter is a nearby reporter. When I saw the replay (print ) I thought it was safe, I made gestures and voices because the window was open, so I think Chikamoto was able to hear a bit and react. I heard earlier that I didn’t mean to tell Chikamoto that it was safe. “

Mr. Fuchibuchi emphasized that “there is no recognition” that Hanshin is sending information intentionally. He continued: “The same thing happens with Judge Tomoyori, and yesterday’s referee did not steal signatures or do anything wrong.” “The window was opened by ventilation as a measure against the crown.” And my voice was a bit out of the ordinary, and since I was closer to the player, I could have heard him a little bit, but it wasn’t the conversation he intended, like me. I was allowed to confirm. “

Regarding this uproar, he said, “I think this is the end of today.”
