Rakuten Eagles: March 14, 2010

...Masahiro Tanaka's exhibition game outings:
3/14 vs Chiba Lotte Marines: 7 IP, 29 BF, 104 NP, 6 H, 3 SO, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 1 R, 1 ER
3/7 vs Yokohama Bay Stars: 5 IP, 20 BF, 78 NP, 7 H, 2 SO, 1 BB, 2 R, 2 ER
Tanaka didn't have his best stuff on Sunday, allowing at least one base-runner through the first four innings of his start -- 5 hits (including three doubles), 2 walks, and an HBP.
...Marty Brown on Kohei Hasebe's outing on Saturday:
He could end up being an important piece. He can eat innings and he can be effective in lefty match-ups.
Hasebe's final line from Saturday: 2 IP, 6 BF, 15 NP, 1 H, 0 SO, 0 BB, 0 R, 0 ER
...Juan Morillo managed to hit 158km/h during his outing on Saturday -- he hit the mark on his third pitch to Yakult Swallow Yuichi. It was a ball.

Hot damn that’s fast! I hope he’ll be able to control those heaters; don’t want to see them flying out of the park even faster than he throws them in!
