Monday also Goes to Patere" started with the hope of creating a time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy even on Mondays, when there are few games being held. In the fourth episode, Motonobu Tanishige and Tomoya Satosaki were joined by Tadashi Settsu as guests to review last weekend's opening three-game series.

In the latter half of the program, Mr. Satozaki picked up a comment from a viewer who said, "It hurts (as a team) that (Fukuoka Softbank 's) Ryoya Kurihara player left the team. In response, Settsu explained how big a hole Kurihara's absence would leave, saying, "It hurts a lot...It's still good because No. 5 Masaki (Tomoya) is in good shape, but I wonder what will happen when his condition drops. ......

Mr. Satosaki continued, "Kondo (Kensuke) is also gone. outfield What are we going to do?" He listed many names of young players, but Settsu said, "But there was a point where none of them could appeal to the public. ...... However, "Naoki Sato was good in the second team, so I think it would be interesting if those guys come up. He is fast and defense is good, too," he said, naming the sixth-year player Naoki Sato and pinning his hopes on him.

Naoki Sato He has appeared in 14 games so far this season on the farm and has a .320 batting average. Last season, he returned to the team as a manager in June, but ended up with a disappointing .190 batting average, so he will be looking to bounce back.
