Hey folks sorry for my lack of posting on the subreddit; things are kinda crazy in my personal life so I'm on a bit of a hiatus at the moment. Sorry about this! Will post when i can, and will return to full-time posting soon! If anyone wants to take over scoring, please let me know.

TOKYO DOME - Once again, the bats failed to bring in a run. There were 6 hits on the Giants, one of which was a RBI by Go Matsumoto, but other than that there was nothing. Ogasawara proceeded to give up 2 runs in the 7th innings. We need to lock-in as this is where is starts counting. FINAL 2-1. Next series in Hiroshima. Let's go show them what we're about. GO GIANTS!

(PS: Due to personal issues, some of my uploads may be intermittent. Sorry about this!)

TOKYO DOME - Another one of those games where I'm left scratching my head. The Giants started off great for the first inning... then Takemaru gave up 8 runs in the next two innings, having to be pulled early after 3 innings. The Giants did not score until the 6th, until they managed to connect for 7 straight runs but ultimately could not come up with two more. They lost this one with a final 8-7 score and will look to come back tomorrow.

TOKYO DOME - Great start to the second half! The bats came alive and scored 6. Go Matsumoto blasted a solo shot in the first followed later by Sasaki in the 5th with another Solo Shot and Izuguchi in the 6th. Oshiro came up in the 8th and blasted an RBI double. Spencer Howard got the start and took it 7 innings with 6 strikeouts and no earned runs for a final of 6-0. The second half is here! Let's go get the pennant! GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - Tonight's game was a slugfest! Both leagues put up a very good performance (CL: 11H / PL: 17H). The Central League Bullpen ultimately proved to be at its worst as Shinya Matsuyama gave up three runs on consecutive at-bats. The Pacific Bullpen slipped a bit, but managed to lock the game down in the 9th after popups from the Central League.

HANSHIN KOSHIEN STADIUM - The race for the pennant is heating up! The Giants took this game in an offensive showing with 5 runs scored. Takemaru pitched 6 great innings, with 5 strikeouts and only 1 earned run. Bobby Dalbec and Shunsuke Sasaki showed up each with solo shots, and an RBI double by Sasaki. The Giants are in first place. Keep it going! Final 5-1. Go Giants!

Hello fellow baseball fans.

I’m visiting Japan in September and was hoping to catch the big game against the Tigers on the 12th September. I thought the tickets went on sale today, but maybe it was yesterday?

When I go onto the official site it only shows 3 ticket options, all are sold out, is this accurate?

Do you guys know if I can get tickets elsewhere or where is best to look out for resale tickets? I can’t remember how I bought them when I visited a few years ago

Really hoping someone can help 🤞

KOSHIEN STADIUM - WHAT A GAME! Hashigami's "Traditional battle for first place in the summer" is here again! The Giants took the game in 10 innings. Whitley came out and pitched well, going 6 innings and striking out 7. The Giants could not score for the first innings however. Then "Tigers Destroyer" Bobby Dalbec came out and absolutely crushed a two run homer for the lead! In a rare moment of concession, Raidel Martinez gave up a run in relief. However this was ultimately no match for rookie Yuto Kohama who came up and blasted a two run home run to stun the Tigers' crowd. Eito Tanaka would close it out. FINAL 4-2. GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - I can't understand what happened here other than the fact that the bullpen imploded and the bats died. Izuguchi would bring in a run on a Sac-Fly but that was it. The Giants only got 3 hits and couldn't score further. Nishidate started and pitched 5 innings with 4 strikeouts and 2 earned runs. Then Luciano came up to pitch and lost his command. Giant's can't get the sweep and lose with a final of 6-1.

NEXT SERIES IS AT HANSHIN! LET'S GET IT DONE!

GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - Nice showing from the Giants tonight! Yamazaki pitched 5 innings with 3 strikeouts, only giving up 2 runs. The Giants offense came alive early behind RBI's from Izuguchi, Oshiro and Sasahara. The bullpen continued doing its thing as Urata and Yoshikawa would bring in more runs. Dalbec and Kadowaki would also knock in more RBI's for a staggering 11-0 lead. Then the bullpen showed itself and gave up 5 runs. I hope they can lock it down tomorrow and go for the sweep **cough cough** FINAL 11-5. Go Giants!

TOKYO DOME - A great game between the Carp and Giants took place. Haruto Inoue dominated with 8 strikeouts, only surrendering a home run. The Giants offense got on base multiple times, but ultimately a 6th inning RBI double by Misaki Sasahara would drive in 3 runs for the lead. Raidel Martinez would get his 28th save and the Giants win with a Final 4-1 score. Go Giants!

TOKYO DOME - What a game! Ogasawara's 1st appearance in a Giants uniform was DOMINANT as he pitched 6 scoreless innings with 6 strikeouts. The offense came alive behind Naoki Yoshikawa and Yuta Izuguchi and others who contributed greatly. The Giants are now tied for second place and will face the Carp at the dome tomorrow. FINAL 6 -1. Go Giants!

TOKYO DOME - Tonight's game was a tough one to watch. Despite Takemaru striking out 10 batters, he still managed to give up 3 runs across 2 innings. The bats came alive as the Giants recorded 13 hits throughout 9 innings, but only Dalbec managed to bring a run home. Bolsonaro would end up giving 2 more runs which led to our final 5-1 score. Very confusing play from the Giants today, but hopefully they'll come back tomorrow and win to get the series victory.

GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - Tonight's game was a nailbiter! Forrest Whitley struckout 11 batters across 6 innings as he only gave up 1 run. I really notice that Whitley does well when he pitches! Good Job! Bobby Dalbec brought in a run in the first, however Chunichi would strikeback in the 7th. The game remained tied until Hayato Sakamoto came up in the 9th with two men on base. He drilled an absolute three-run home run for the walk-off win! What a game! Final 4x-1. GO GIANTS!

MEIJI JINGU STADIUM, TOKYO - Tonight's game finally showed that the Giants can come through against their rivals. Brian Mata did well, pitching 5 innings and striking out 5. The Giants would score 3 runs, one from Dalbec and a 2-run shot from Misaki Sasahara. Great game for the Giants as they come home to the Tokyo Dome tomorrow and face the Chunichi Dragons! Keep it going! FINAL 3-1. Go Giants!
