"Monday Patele Iki" was started with the desire to create a time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy even on Mondays, when there are few games. This week, Ota, Ginji, and Kaneko Yuji appeared and answered questions from viewers.

At the beginning of the program, when asked, "What is Fukuoka Softbank 's strength?", Kaneko replied, "At first, there were a lot of injuries and there was a sense of, 'What will happen?' But even so, players who weren't regulars until last year played their roles well and performed well enough to become regulars. I could feel the depth and strength of the team."

Ota continued, "Even with the change of generations, The Hawks' traditional style hasn't disappeared," and reflected on the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks' performance this year, saying, "There weren't many players taller than 190cm, and even the smaller players were hitting the ball Fukuoka Softbank, so it was fun to watch."
