Masayoshi Son, 64, the owner of professional baseball Softbank, updated his Twitter account on September 16, 2021 and posted a comment saying, “Attack, if you want to win.”
The timing when the grandson owner posted a comment was during the match against Lotte on the 16th, so fans who saw this as a slap on the team that continued to be sluggish responded on Twitter.

Team has no white star for 6 games in a row
As of 15:00 on the 17th, the post received 20,000 likes, and SoftBank fans said, “As the owner says! Please tell the players directly.” “That’s right. I have a weak feeling of attack.” Don’t run away. Let’s keep attacking. “
Softbank played against Lotte at PayPay Dome on the 16th and drew 1-1. The pitchers kept Lotte’s hits to 4 hits and 1 run, but the batters hit 9 hits but scored only 1 point for the first time.
Softbank has been away from the victory since the draw against Nippon-Ham Fighters on the 10th, and the draw on that day resulted in six consecutive games without a white star.
As of the 16th, it is 8.5 games behind the leader Lotte and 3 games behind the 3rd place Rakuten, which is within the climax series (CS).
From the 18th, the team will board the enemy territory and refrain from 3rd place and 3 consecutive battles with Rakuten.
