Hanshin committed a season-high four errors and his hitting streak ended at seven. However, I stayed ahead with 3 savings. Coach Okada’s statement after the game is as follows.
– Was Aoyagi’s bullpen report bad before the game?
“No, no, I didn’t hear that today.”
-I had trouble controlling the ball.
“Everything went smoothly the first time.”
-I managed to catch the fastball, but the ball didn’t run.
“I think he’s not running. That’s all. Well, that’s just the way it is. Every now and then he hits the left side. I told him (the people around him), but you’re already going too far on the inside path and on the straight Let me be clear.”
-His defense is also rare.
“Honma, if it comes out, it will come out all at once. You can’t get hit with a ball like that (Kinami error in the 4th inning) from Takeoka, to be honest there’s no need to panic. just stop one thing. I wish I had thought about my legs.
– Was Kinami mentally driven?
“I don’t know, just ask him. I don’t know.”
-If Sakamoto had decided to bunt in the 5th inning, would the game have gone differently?
“That’s why it’s such a high, lousy ball. Runners can’t get off to a good start. It’s not just their bunt. If you do that, you’re going to have to throw a perfect bunt. If you want to throw a ball. Bunt. If you ask me, it’s a strike bunt. If a runner makes a bunt like that, I don’t think a runner would be able to make a strike bunt, after all not a bunt-and-run, it’s a bunt.”
-I don’t know if Itohara will be brought here soon as long as he fills it up.
“Yes, I wanted a point. If we score another point or two, and then have a three or two point difference, it wouldn’t make any sense.”
-Urushibara is also holding up well with his development behind the scenes.
“No, no, I’m holding back, you know.”
– Has Urushibara’s reputation improved?
“Evaluation and crap, it’s because he’s in the first team bullpen. You know, he’s used like that a lot. But even there, you gotta score extra runs, that kind of thing. If you pitch in that situation. Well, they can’t all be ready from second innings, so there’s a shift order. There’s eight of us in the bullpen.”
