The story
In a night game on September 17, the Hanshin Tigers cruised to a 7-1 win over the Hiroshima Carp. Shota Morishita launched his league-leading 34th home run, a two-run shot, as the middle-order trio of Morishita, Teruaki Sato, and Yusuke Oyama combined to drive in all 7 runs in a show of offensive firepower. On 5ch’s live game thread, comments piled up like “The Tigers are fully back lol” and “Meanwhile my team is grinding its teeth watching the champion Tigers and the BayStars mash the ball…”. The same day also brought news that the Giants’ Shunsuke Urata had been pulled from the active roster with a torn ligament in his right elbow, drawing attention as a development that could affect both the late-season pennant race and the Rookie of the Year race.
What people said
How does it feel?
Hanshin 6-1 Hiroshima
BayStars 2-0
Oyama hit a homer too…
Hanshin 7-1 Hiroshima
Better for him to leave while he's still missed, before he becomes an obstacle to player development — good for both him and the team

Background and Talking Points
The thread title “Giants Acting Manager 140” isn’t reporting a managerial change — it’s simply the running number of a recurring live-game thread. The phrase “my team” that shows up in the posts is thread-specific slang referring to whichever club a given poster supports; here it’s used to lament a struggling team while watching the red-hot Tigers and BayStars pile up runs. The removal of Shunsuke Urata from the Giants’ active roster over a torn ligament in his right elbow drew the thread’s attention because he was also seen as a leading Rookie of the Year candidate, making it relevant to both the Giants’ lineup construction and the award race. For Hanshin, the middle-order trio of Morishita, Teruaki Sato, and Oyama all performed well, and the post about being “one behind Sato Teruaki” refers to the two players’ race for home runs.
