Lions Win 4th Straight, Fighters Drop 3rd in a Row — Taira Goes 7 Scoreless, Nakata Drives in 3 on 2 Hits

Written by

The Seibu Lions beat the Fighters 3-1, extending their winning streak to four games, while the Nippon-Ham Fighters fell to their third straight loss. Starter Taira turned in a strong outing, holding the Fighters scoreless over seven innings, and Nakata led the offense with 2 hits and 3 RBIs.

Beyond the usual fan-vs-fan trash talk, the thread also lit up over the legality of Otsuka’s borderline slide, suspicions that Reyes was stealing signs, and comparisons between manager Shinjo’s and manager Nishiguchi’s in-game strategy.

Nippon-Ham  0 0 0  0 0 0  0 1 0|1

Seibu.    0 0 0  0 1 1  0 1 X|3

All that time chasing after the Hawks' backside, and this is what you get lololol

Speaking of sign-stealing, that's the Hawks for you

Uh, today they lost to the Lions, though?
17Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:07:40.90ID:vXPBTJU+0
Even so, 96 wins is looking pretty rough now, isn't it?

Idiots.

– Pull the starter early, don't let him go too long
– Don't shove a would-be starter into the bullpen
– Don't make relievers cover multiple innings
– Don't run relievers out there day after day, give them rest
– Any reliever who blows it gets sent down to rest and gets swapped out

Do ALL of that and you'll have even fewer relievers than the not-enough you've already got lol

Exactly. Evil Ham-kasu lost, and the food's delicious!

You, the evil troll, lose every single day lol

The magic number's up, but is a comeback pennant really impossible for the Lions?
60Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:16:11.43ID:4a6aAxJa0

As long as the magic number isn't zero, there's still a chance.
Though it'll be a steep climb.

Shortstop Otsuka's slide was a murder spike. That's way too dangerous.

Sounds like Sei-yan (Seiya) was a bit heated about it in the manager's post-game interview

Idiot, the Lions are the true justice here!
And the evil ones lost, so the food's great

That's why you're already buying into the evil toilet too, aren't you
96Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:28:26.55ID:0r+ndnlA0
It's the difference in managing.
Nishiguchi gave Taira a refresh/rest stint before interleague play, while Shinjo's been running Ito into the ground.
That gap showed up in summer.
103Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:29:44.62ID:ytGbX8QG0

So what's the excuse for pinning it on Shinjo today?
105Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:30:25.26ID:By0pv7hN0
The team Shinjo spent 5 years building, master manager Nishiguchi rebuilt and demolished in just 2 lol

Must sting, huh, you Shinjo-worshipping Ham-kasu
114Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:33:38.13ID:9zkd2grR0
Ham-kasu be like: "No matter how they lose, Shinjo is NEVER at fault! He's brilliant!!"
117Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:33:47.66ID:nLo+tpHT0
Taira finally gets serious
Nakata in on every run!
Canario's cannon of a return throw

A foreign player this good on defense, incredible
135Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:40:06.12ID:wYEt3HEO0
Ham-kasu don't say a peep when Ito gets bashed
Ham-kasu lose their minds when Shinjo gets bashed
Ham-kasu really are the treasure of the Shinjo faithful

Which specific example is that? Show me one if you can
137Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:40:15.89ID:6Zn/dTfB0
Stomped by both the Hawks AND the Lions — pathetic, Ham-kasu lol
