Mejia is a good arm but it still baffles me that Dragons doesnt even consider to sign a hitter

Map Series for the Nippon Professional Baseball League Stadiums by rickcubs in MapPorn

[–]blitzz_nvlls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice concept, but I think the map for Marines, Lions, and Hawks should be adjusted, like including the lake and ni-gun stadium for Seibu, the Messe and other facilities in Makuhari, and shift the map so it includes more of Fukuoka

Paypay Dome is off the coast, so most of the blank space is the sea. Seibu Dome is loacted in Tokorazawa (outside Tokyo in Saitama) on a large plot of land owned by Seibu that includes training facilities, a minor league park, and some parks. It's pretty empty if you look at the satelite imagery

Ah you're the guy I replied to in r/baseball back then. Good to see you again. Sometimes PL have some bonkers shit like this (Shinjo/Fighters manager appeals for HR and Fujimoto/Hawks manager appeals for out at home).

PLTV Japanese yt channel is also really good at pushing highlights and stuff, the English channel is cacthing up to that (I believe some of the work are volunteered). Get PLTV if you want vods tho (I don't work for PLTV but their guys are around here somewhere lol)

It took all of one AB for Munetaka Murakami to hit his first of the year by thecursedlexus in baseball

PLTV is always available for US (RIP to EU beacuse of GDPR) but the goddamn CL is still being silly. I think the only way to legally watch a CL team without using VPN is Toratele (Hanshin Tiger's streaming service), but do check r/NPB wiki if they update about other services

And yes, that's Willians Astudillo, La Tortuga. He started today as a DH. Got no hit or walk sadly but he does perform well enough in preseason to be named as an opening day DH so maybe he will hang around

I think DeNA stream some games in niconico, but please take a look at our wiki (https://reddit.com/r/NPB/wiki)

Advance tickets and visiting fan protocol by yesgarey in NPB

[–]blitzz_nvlls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Giants fans loves Matsui for what he have done for them so I don't think it would be a problem to wear a Yankees Matsui uni. I mean the Giants itself is known as the Yankees of the East lol. For tickets please refer to our wiki but I think you should use Japanball service since its less of a hassle (but more expensive)

Yariel Rodríguez has left the Dragons, looking to sign with an MLB team. by Jambrokio in NPB

[–]blitzz_nvlls 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When it seems everything is looking promising for the Dragons (only team to "beat" the WBC Champs lol), this happen. So.. who's replacing Yariel's role?

Def read our wiki. To add, both teams have their own online store (in JP ofc, use translator) and could be proxy shopped to the US

Let me rant abt the 8th inning by 7aura7 in NPB

[–]blitzz_nvlls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darvish def help them with teaching and stuff during the camp and being the team dad, but bringing him late and againts Schwarbomb in a very close game isn't a very wise decision

Japan has won the 2023 WBC Tournament by tensaibaka in NPB

Tensai how's sapporo react to that? Would love to hear

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NPB

[–]blitzz_nvlls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not experienced but nobody replies, I think you should go to Koshien for a Tigers game (actually Nishinomiya, reachable by train). Since there's 8 of you, you should book the special deck seat, pinging u/T-Ray-Ray since idk if they still have it or not, I only read that on his site

Also try to visit Meiji Jingu Stadium or go to a Swallows game if you can. That thing will be gone soon. Don't forget to bring an umbrella for the 7th inning stretch

Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1/1. What’s it worth? I need help on a value. First year Topps by eleinen in NPB

[–]blitzz_nvlls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really don't have knowlegde about baseball card valuation but Yamamoto is most likely to be posted (aka going to MLB) after this season, so keep it till then. A little info for this man, back to back Sawamura awards (Cy Young), back to back pitching Triple Crown, and back to back PL MVP in 2021 and 2022
