In the Giants–DeNA game at Yokohama Stadium, the Giants’ lineup was completely stifled by DeNA starter Baba, and the live-thread lit up over their struggles. Opinions split over acting manager Abe’s bullpen moves and Sasahara’s sacrifice bunt, while shortstop Izumiguchi also drew harsh criticism for his defense, with posters asking “isn’t his footwork bad?”
Handing the game to a reliever who walks a guy on four straight pitches right after we'd closed it to a 2-run game? Brain dead.

Well, he's only managing 'in place of' Abe.
He has to run it the way Abe would.
Blame Abe.

Well, it's Mori pitching, so… but seriously, isn't Izumiguchi's footwork bad?
If the next one's a force-out at second again, I'm gonna lose it.
Don't think I've ever seen that before.

A wild-armed reliever like Morita is a death sentence.
And the Giants go bail out a guy with control problems by having Sasahara bunt lol

Garbage game, the pace is way too slow.
Sounds like the Chin (5ch slang/slur for the Hanshin Tigers, whose game was on at the same time) are about to lose. Our army just needs to hold on and close this out.
Only the Giants get shut down by Baba, I swear.
Didn't even realize it, but DeNA's been scooping up all the Giants' castoffs (players the Giants released or didn't re-sign).
Maybe it's because I watched Sakamoto at shortstop for so many years, but this guy just doesn't cut it.
At this rate they're gonna have a rough time once the pitch clock gets introduced.
Got a bad feeling either Izumiguchi or Daru is about to hit into a double play.
Ordering Sasahara to bunt against a pitcher like this Baba, and having it fail — the sheer level of Hashigami's (a Giants coach/strategist) blunder is something else.
Pitch clock and ABS (Automated Ball-Strike system, i.e. robot umps) would fix everything.
If there were a pitch clock, I wonder how many violations Baba would've racked up today.

He'd have at least 10 violations.

What was even the point of making Kishida captain?

Well, Takuzo wasn't exactly great as captain either, so…
