“I have been doing it under Hara’s direction for many years.” Giant Kamei, the value of the experience of a veteran who produced a bullet of drama | Full-Count

On the 26th, the giant fought the opening match with DeNA at the Tokyo Dome and won an 8-7 goodbye. The hero is Yoshiyuki Kamei, a gardener who appeared in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 17-year pro veteran perfectly captured the slider of DeNA’s guardian god, Mishima, and brought it to the right wing seat. The home run that was thrown in this season’s first at-bat is the first goodbye by a winch hitter in an opening game. Kamei’s success is a great stepping stone to Japan’s first consecutive championship in nine years.[Yutaka Narasaki]

Ace’s Sugano started and played a match while suffering. Oshiro fired three runs to become the number one team, and the lead was one point three points. When forced to score a point difference in the seventh inning, Hara played a game once. After Wakabayashi hits 1 kill, he sends a trump card, Daiki Masuda, to a pinch runner. However, Sakamoto fell in a double play without advancing to scorer position. The only point I wanted was blocked.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, he took advantage of Maru’s double and returned a point on Wheeler’s timely hit. Also, Shigenobu and Naoki Yoshikawa, who are fast paced, were sent one after another as a backup runner to the place where they wanted to retire. However, Naoki Yoshikawa made a mistake while running and stopped in a moment. In the ninth inning with a bad flow, the guardian deity Nakagawa was unable to maintain the 2-point lead and was tied.

It was a painful game development for the giant. The strong team created by Hara is not a baseball team with strong players only in the starting lineup. We have strong players, including pitchers, outfielders, and players who will be dispatched later. That is why the power of the individual is put to the test.

I remember the members when I became the best in Japan nine years ago. Hisayoshi Chono (Hiroshima), Hayato Sakamoto and others lined up in the starting lineup. Yoshinobu Takahashi, Yoshitomo Tani, Kenji Yano, Yoshihito Ishii are the pinch hitters. Takahiro Suzuki is a substitute runner. Names like Takayuki Terauchi and Tetsuya Matsumoto lined up in the defensive position, and the player base was dense. They show their uniqueness throughout the season. There was strength in a close battle that could be reversed even if it was inferior.
