I think there’s enough respect (and understanding) there for Iwakuma not to take Nomura too seriously. I’m also not quite sure how seriously the team takes what Nomura says to the media.

Actually, to be honest, it seems like the players are more tired of the media asking them their thoughts on what Nomura said than they are of what Nomura is actually saying.

Nomura keeps it coming. I like what he says, and how he says it. But don’t want to see what seems to be the tension between him and Iwakuma get out of hand, know what I mean?

Adding Furuta would solidify my spot on the Eagles’ bandwagon. But I’d like to see Nomura come back.

Furuta would definitely be an interesting option after Nomura. I would be happy with either Furuta or Valentine.

Replacing Nomura will be a huge task and I don't think just any manager will do. I also don't think the Eagles can afford to go with a rookie manager, although that's exactly would could end up happening.

Good to see Nomura and Furuta joking around. It would be kind of cool if Furuta did take over if Nomura does decide to not come back. Seems like the interview was filled with a lot of Nomura gems.
