On the 9th, Lotte's new manager, Saburo, showed his own style on the second day of fall practice. After warming up, he started running between the poles. Even during batting practice in one place, it was noticeable that fielder were constantly running between the bases. "They're running like crazy. I think that's a good thing. There will be even more at (fall) camp, with technical training. It must be tough to do this (base running practice) before that. Everyone was saying, 'My legs are so sore!'" he said, grinning as he heard the players' screams.
He declared that the autumn training camp in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki, would be "a Showa-era camp." He warned that it would be "hellish," saying, "I'm going to push the players to play in the autumn, even if it means getting injured."
