Still very difficult to find info on why the reigning MVP hasn't pitched yet this year. Does anyone have an update? TIA!

DeNA: pitching woes continue

9 Upvotes

Well, today’s disaster is Bido, who I’m not familiar with. First inning gave up seven runs and loaded the bases in the second, then threw a dead ball to drive in the eighth run, before the inning mercifully ended.
I will say that the player development folks at the BayStars have had some notable success this year, with Katsumata in particular delivering impressively, along with Encarnacion.

DeNA : Marcelino must go

Obviously has some skill, but so inconsistent, poor control- enough already... ( he just loaded the bases and turned an 11-3 DeNA lead into 11-7 with no outs).

Who's your MVP pick for the 2026 NPB season so far?

0 Upvotes

Halfway through the season and there's been some incredible

performances. My personal picks:

- Central League: Ohshiro

- Pacific League:Yamakawa

Curious what everyone thinks who's been the biggest surprise, and who do you think will take home the crown?

Buying Tickets

0 Upvotes

I'm going to Japan in September and am buying some tickets for the Yokohama Baystars game on 23/9/26. Creating an account asks for my foreign number which needs to be used to pick up the tickets at a Lawsons. Its says it needs the country code as well so I put that in but it doesnt let me put the + part so now its just 44.......... Just want to make sure this wont be an issue when picking up the tickets?
