アリゾナキャンプで毎日、中田さん（記事の執筆者）と話しましたが、その会話は記事になることが知らなかった！ I talked to Nakata-san every day in camp about various Fighters/college ball/etc stuff but I didn't know she was going to write an article about me! sanspo.com/baseball/news/201…

I would joke that I didn't realize Ryan had a triple double because they don't have assists and rebounds on the scoreboards this year but actually I watched this game from home in the evening so it's even harder to keep track of :/

is it too early to make a bet on him playing for the Hawks in 2028?

Alvark won, but the drunk Japanese guys sitting next to us left in a rush 30 seconds before the game end and spilled our (and their) drinks everywhere so I missed the end interviews while getting staff to help clean up. Other than that I guess it was a fine game.

Wow, Makoto Hiejima fouled out, that wasn't on my basketball bingo card tonight

I'm not really doing anything for Halloween this year but today I'm at the Alvark Tokyo vs Utsunomiya Brex basketball game for Alvark Halloween!

speaking of articles about my favorite left-handed pitchers from Tokyo Big 6, I keep forgetting to repost the amusing and interesting stories that @BomberPitch has been writing on Note: note.com/bomber_pitch こうした話は知らなかったけど、読んでいてとても面白い！

I reposted the link to that Number article about Kohei Miyadai to remind myself to read it later, but it was a link to the 4th part; you should start from Part 1. number.bunshun.jp/articles/-… #宮台康平 #永遠に宮台康平のファンです

so I didn't watch the Japan Series ending because I went to a gym to play basketball tonight instead, for the first time since like, high school or college well really I just shot hoops but it was fun, will probably do again sometime and way better than watching the Hawks win

Unintentional Deanna Eats Things For Baseball Cards - I hadn't seen this kakipea Bandai Namco baseball card game before so I bought a few packs at the supermarket プロ野球ファンスターズリーグ柿の種、スーパーで初めて見た。4月から販売しているみたいけど fanstars-league.com/products…

Wow, the Yokohama tarugai beer girl controversy is big enough it made it into the English-language newspapers too japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026…

【イェーイ委員会からのお知らせ】 安藤周人選手個人通算５０００得点おめでとうございます！！ This is the first home game I missed this year and I missed Shuto Ando getting his 5000th career point and also 1000th career assist apparently (xitter.gq/ALVARK_TOKYO/status/21…)

【イェーイ委員会からのお知らせ】 安藤周人選手１０００本３Pおめでとうございます！！ I had no idea Shuto "ANDO FOR THREE" was almost to 1000 career 3-pointers and that I was there to see it, wow! The other 5 are Togashi, Seiya Ando, Naoto Tsuji, Kishimoto, and Thomas Kennedy.

I'm so tired. Definitely remind me next year not to buy basketball tickets for the same day as the NPB draft. here's the link: marinerds.blogspot.com/2026/…

Hawks ikusei is always the biggest slog to translate but I got up to Fudai Nerei and immediately thought "that MUST be Yuji's kid" and sure enough he looks just like him. Funny thing is I met Yuji when he was playing for the Nagasaki Saints so it feels kind of full circle.

...and I just got up to the point in translating the draft where at first I thought the 2011 birth year must have been a typo but no, the Giants just drafted a 14-year-old who I guess will skip high school or do some alternate schooling while enjoying ikusei lifestyle?

I assumed the Fighters were going to draft him at some point though I'm surprised everyone was on board with it being ikusei 5th round. (Imazu was Keio captain this year and he's from Hokkaido, his dad is the mayor of Asahikawa)

Marines may look unlucky but I remember seeing Yuto Yonezawa beat Keio in the 全日本大学野球選手権大会 finals to get Kansai Univ their first championship in forever and he was pretty badass
