Lotte lose 4-9 in the match against Nippon-Ham on the 14th (Escon F). Tokito Kawamura, who made his first appearance in the first team in about three years, left the mound in the middle of the fourth inning with a 5-runs, and the batting line shot 12 hit, but only 4 runs and lost 6 in a row, and the debt was the worst “24”.
The same day’s broadcast of CS Fuji TV ONE’s “Professional baseball News” focused on Lotte’s attack in the top of the seventh inning. MC Hiroki Nomura said, “It was base running in the top of the seventh inning with the score difference. With two outs and runners on first and second, Aito hits a timely hit, but Yamamoto, runner on first base, gets tagged out at home plate. Well, considering the score difference…”
Commentator Sakaguchi Tomotaka commented, “If there was a close contest, the situation would have been different, but in this situation there was a difference in the points. They would have wanted to get runner in scoring position and attack, but this forced a change, so it felt like an even greater waste.”
Ryota Igarashi, another commentator, said, “I think it’s a waste of time to turn the ball around unless the timing is 120% safe, and I think it’s a waste that the errors in judgment were so noticeable when the score difference was so close,” and Nomura said, “From pitcher ‘s point of view, it’s worse if the runner ball gets stuck. If it was out and changed, the atmosphere would change completely. Nippon-Ham It was a big deal for the “Mere Old Man” and a waste of Lotte’s time.
