The Giants couldn’t close the gap with the Tigers, even in their head-to-head matchups, and the thread already had a resigned mood of just locking down 2nd place, with posts like “Might as well root for the Tigers too, just to keep 2nd safe.” Talk then shifted to comparing Japanese players’ home run totals over the years, with posters venting that — aside from Okamoto — Oshima and Sasaki’s 8 homers are the team’s best this season, and grumbling that the young players simply aren’t developing.

Guess we should root for the Tigers too, just to lock down 2nd place…
Every runner was scrambling around in a panic, but it was just a routine 6-4-3 double play lol
It's the manager's fault for using up all his replay challenges already
Did Takahashi Haruto get hurt? Sounds like he's out next week?
At this point, the only way for the Giants to catch the Tigers is a miracle winning streak
or sweeping every head-to-head matchup.

You'd have to be delusional to think a farm-team-level roster like this could pull off a comeback title lol
Even a manager like Kudo couldn't do it lol

Not when they're losing games like today's though
During the 'Make Legend' comeback, they won their last 7 head-to-head games against the Tigers (mockingly called 'Chin')
to light up a reverse magic number of 2.

Back then they had an absolute run-producer like 'Ogarami' (fan nickname for a pair of sluggers), but there's nobody like that this year, so yeah… forget it ('mou muri' — net slang for 'no way, I give up').

Where's the WACCHOI tag???????? (the anti-sockpuppet ID marker)
Is some Tigers troll ('Chin-kasu') running this thread??????

The Tigers have two guys hitting .300 with 30 homers.
For the Giants, if you limit it to Japanese players, Oshima and Sasaki's 8 homers are the best they've got.
Has a Giants season ever ended with every Japanese position player stuck under 10 homers before?

Apparently he's too busy with nightly drinking parties with his patrons (tanimachi) to make it.

Since Nagano joined in 2010, the Giants haven't brought in a single college or corporate-league mid-to-long-range power hitter.
MAKI'S HERE ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!! (a classic 5ch celebratory meme)
Dokai, who was raking against the Giants the other day, isn't hitting at all now.

This is Yokohama Stadium (Hama-sta), but it's playing like Jingu Stadium (notoriously hitter-friendly).

Jingu's actually got a good pitcher out there too, though…

This is clearly on the guy who went from farm-team manager, to first-team head coach, to first-team manager!

If the season really ends with Oshima and Sasaki's 8 homers as the team's best, all you can do is laugh.

Kudo's the one pitching, so he won't be used.

This is what happens when Yoshinobu (Takahashi) left nothing behind as manager.
Unless the Tigers pull their usual September collapse ('Chin moyu' — a meme for Hanshin fading late), this is hopeless.
For this year's draft, they should just take six college/corporate-league position players.
No need to draft a single pitcher.

Hotta never became a Kinoshita or a Kudo, huh…
There isn't a single standout position player in this year's draft class.
Might be about time to start bringing players in from Korea or Taiwan.
Just bulk Pei's body up into solid muscle.
Watching him today, he's clearly got batting talent.
If he adds power, he could turn into a real slugger.

Runner on 2nd, no outs — they can at least tie it up here, right?
Fujikawa's bullpen management is clearly off.
Hard to believe he used to be a reliever himself.
