Well done to Japan for taking advantage of the batting practice and special ‘seive defence’ the Netherlands kindly provided.
was almost as though it was a homerun derby
Personally, I am against the current NPB ball. Ridiculously low offense numbers are financially bad. But, there is the Tokyo Dome. Granted, today’s Dutch pitchers were blah, it would be still too prone for long balls. Use a special ball only for the Tokyo Dome?
Samurai Japan had awaken and the team will fight to keep the WBC title. Pitching is the name of the game but homeruns are the real joy of this sport.
Who knew Japan was capable of that kind of power?
Was like watching Cuba…
