In a 5ch thread live-commentating the October 15, 2026 Nippon Professional Baseball Climax Series (CS), titled “Giants Acting Manager 177,” posters buzzed about the Hanshin Tigers falling 0-3 to the DeNA BayStars — their second straight scoreless game. The thread filled with shocked reactions like “Even we wouldn’t pull that off” alongside jabs mocking the Tigers, as well as praise for winning pitcher Kosuke Baba’s strong outing. Posters also swapped notes on the Giants’ plans for next year’s draft and reactions to reports of an injury to Morishita, making for a wide-ranging chat thread touching on various teams as the NPB season winds down.

N-n-n-n-overtaken Tigers ("ぬか珍," a jab mocking the Tigers) lolololololololol

I want the BayStars to do well, but if they win, the approval-hungry "Hamekasu" (derogatory nickname for BayStars fans) getting full of themselves is gonna be annoying too…

They'll just get crushed by SoftBank in the end anyway — overtaken BayStars, that's all they are, lol
11AnonymousOct 15, 2026 20:59
Our Boys (Giants) 2-6 vs. BayStars
Tigers 0-3 vs. BayStars
13AnonymousOct 15, 2026 20:59
What the hell, two straight scoreless games? Even we wouldn't pull that off.

With this flow going, even if they end up losing to a Maki home run, you couldn't blame them
"Overtaken Tigers" is this year's buzzword-of-the-year for the Acting Manager thread.

Baba? All he's really got is that last forkball lolol (lol)

Passed over Chuo University's Maki and Morishita, took Nishitate with the first-round pick
34AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:01
Re: #29
Nishitate's still better than nothing, I guess…

Dinner tastes great right now lolololololololololololol (schadenfreude over the Tigers' misery)

??: "Miyagi's way better than Azuma"
Feels like we're gonna get another take like this ()

Well, it's not wrong though…

The fate of the "Tiger trash" (珍カス, mocking nickname for Hanshin fans) who were convinced they'd run away with the pennant all the way through summer, lol
41AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:02
Nippon-Ham, please just advance already
45AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:02
Only strong in autumn — is that even allowed, you "perverted chair" (mocking in-thread nickname, exact target unclear)? Grr
46AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:02
Looks like the Tigers ("御珍々," mocking nickname) are joining the CS Victims Club too, lol

Though he did get sent down to the minors after his mental game fell apart as a rookie
51AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:03
"Laid-Back Camp" (ゆるキャン, a pun on the anime title) is gonna be the trend for spring training from now on
54AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:03
If Morishita doesn't show up from tomorrow either, all DeNA has to watch out for is walks
55AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:03
In years the BayStars finish in the lower tier (B-class), things end peacefully, but when they're in the top tier (A-class) they stir up chaos
56AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:03
But if it'd gone to extra innings, the Tigers' lineup would've been in hell, lol
60AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:04
A walk-off grand slam lolololol
79AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:05
"Mizu-Pay" will get settled tomorrow (unclear in-thread nickname)
91AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:06
Re: #79
Koshien will get settled the day after tomorrow!

Doesn't this mean SoftBank already advances?
107AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:09
Re: #98
Even setting the advantage aside, they still need 3 wins — that hasn't changed
99AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:08
Went to the hospital to get scans done
110AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:09
Re: #99
Morishita's done for
104AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:08
Bunting and then losing to a home run — Fujikawa, have you even watched our team's games?
108AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:09
Re: #104
Figures, Manager Fujikawa's a huge Giants fan after all! (sarcastic)
109AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:09
Fujikawa probably has no idea how to win without Satoteru and Morishita
122AnonymousOct 15, 2026 21:11
Re: #109
Double kill, lolol
Background and Key Points
Rather than an official thread for any single team, this is a running live-commentary thread covering NPB broadly, with fans of the Tigers, BayStars, Giants, and other teams all posting together. The Climax Series (CS) is a playoff format in which the top three regular-season teams compete through a First Stage and a Final Stage for a spot in the Japan Series, with lower-ranked teams granted a win advantage. Note that the posts in this thread don’t specify exactly which CS game or opponent matchup corresponds to the Tigers’ second straight scoreless game, so the precise schedule can’t be confirmed from the thread alone. Also, mocking nicknames for team fans like “Chin” (for Tigers fans) and “Hamekasu” (for BayStars fans) are long-standing stock phrases in 5ch baseball live-commentary threads, used in a different spirit than genuine personal insults.
