In the 3rd round of the Pa League’s first offense and defense, leader Softbank won second place Lotte with zero, expanding the game difference to two.
Koji Uehara (45), a daily sports critic, pointed to the extraordinary “stubbornness” of Softbank pitcher Takeshi Wada (39) as a point in this game. Where was the scene where the tenacity controlling the pitch with Lotte Mima Manabu (34) appeared?
◇ ◇ ◇
I took a closer look at Wada’s release for the first time in a long time, but the content made me think “as expected”. The ball umpire for this game had a narrow strike zone, which was a difficult development for the pitcher, but he did not score goals in the fifth inning. His tenacity was alive and well.
The tenacity that makes me think “as expected” was demonstrated from the first time. From the first death, the second Nakamura Shou was judged as one ball and four balls. At this point, he should have felt that “today’s ball umpire has a narrow strike zone.” Even after 2 deaths, 10 balls would hit Yasuda, who was number 4, and 4 balls. Neither pitcher has an advantage because the strike zone is narrow. Needless to say, it’s a disadvantage, especially for a type of pitcher like Wada who hits a corner and hits it.
Inoue continued with 3 balls feeling unpleasant. In particular, the second straight ball with a low outside angle was the best ball, as if frowning. When a ball that is thought to be a last minute strike is considered a ball, the pitcher has the psyche to attack on the inside. Immediately afterwards, the ball tends to be sweet, but Wada’s pitch was different. Although they turned into 3 balls, he hit with a blow from there and survived goalless.

In the third inning, the fourth ball after leading Nishimaki, the lead hitter, on two strikes, a straight ball with a high outside angle was judged as a ball. Once again, he seemed unsatisfied, but he also didn’t throw the next ball onto the sweet field. As a result, 9 balls and 4 balls were thrown. He threw four balls after two deaths, but did not allow a goal after beating No. 3 Martin.

Mima, on the other hand, has more ball power than Wada, but is a guy who makes full use of ball control to hit. He shot 7 times and scored 3 goals, and he shot tenaciously. Even so, there were two scenes where he was not satisfied with the judgment of the ball. Grasial’s first ball from 1st, 2nd, 1st and 2nd base, and 3rd, 2nd, 2nd base to Yanagida, both throwing the next ball to the strike zone. Grasial hit Yuhi, but Yanagida hit right in front. The launch of Mima is never blamed. Rather, you can see that Wada’s “Shibutosa” is unusual.

Softbank wins the match. Both pitchers, Wada and Mima, pitched well, but baseball can’t win without scoring points. Lotte hitters have a keen eye for the pick, but it’s tough to score unless they hit. The scene of the hitter Fujiwara at first base without death in the third inning. The first ball slider turns into a ball and sets up a final run, but Fujiwara misses a fork or low slider. Nishimaki from the first run came out at second base. Fujiwara, who missed the ball, was not a swing to try to hit it. I have no experience yet and it may be unavoidable, but I felt the size of the hole where the main force was missing.
I myself got infected with Corona at the end of September, but I can understand the feelings of the players who are fine but cannot play the game. Isolation is inevitable considering the risk of infection, but I think it was okay to cancel the match itself as a major. When this happens, a thick kit is absolutely advantageous. I think the canceled match should be supplemented with a double header. I was disappointed when I felt the size of Corona’s pain. (Daily sports critic)
