The live-thread for the Giants–Hiroshima game at Tokyo Dome was buzzing. Hiroshima starter Morishita held the Giants offense to just one run while notching his 1,000th career inning pitched, and posters flooded in hoping he wouldn’t be pulled early so he could pick up the win — while also firing off questions about the Giants’ bullpen management and batting order.

So it's Nakagawa for the 8th, huh
Get some insurance runs before that though

Nice that NHK BS let us hear "Tōkon Komete" (the Giants' team fight song)

The commentary team's great too

Thought some big slugger had stepped up… it was just Nakayama
Even for him, this is a rare outing — 1 run through 8 for Morishita, so he's just got to close it out
If they end up winning this 1-0, I guess that error up the middle turns out to be the fatal blow
Congrats to Morishita on 1,000 career innings pitched
I really want them to get Morishita the win…
Morishita's rookie year was his best one
Morishita's looking like he could hit free agency soon?
Why throw Eight at three lefties in a row?
Morishita probably wants to go to the majors too
Does Hiroshima allow posting?

They're burning through the bullpen too — tomorrow's probably a throwaway game with Shiroki and Kai
Eight's fine as long as he doesn't start walking guys
Why isn't Nakagawa the one going in this spot?
Could've just gone with Nakagawa today too, no?
By the way, our team's first-round pick the year Morishita was drafted was Hotta

The high-school draft class with Roki (Sasaki) and Okugawa

If they'd used Nakagawa and gone as far as Fabian, Eight would've been fine
Guess they're overusing the bullpen

Surprising it's only a .012 gap between sides (.200 vs. Batting .212 left)

Feels like a 20% difference to me lol

They're being so careful with Nakagawa's workload,
but Eight's getting worked hard
though I guess Eight's also the type who wants the ball

He's just a guy they picked up off the scrap heap anyway — if he breaks down, that's that

Against righties he can jam them with the sinker for a double play, but…
Fabian's scary
I'll happily take a single there

Thought it was just a weak grounder to second… turns out nobody was even there lol
