It's great to see Valentine's Lotte Marines do so well in the Japan series.
What a great coach he must be. And I imagine he had to face a lot of obstacles in Japan. eg. the way baseball is played, training methods.
I've come to enjoy watching baseball in Japan. I've never played. I used to play cricket in Australia. There seems to be huge pressure on the pitcher. He really does have the most responsibility. I remember that second or third game between Lotte and Softbank Hawks. Kobayashi came on to relieve the main pitcher. He choked and gave the game away to Softbank. Still, it probably won't matter now as the Marines are on a roll, average 10 points per game in the Japan Series!
