Monday also Patere" started with the hope of creating a time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy the Monday games that are held less frequently. This week, Igarashi and T-Okada reviewed the past week's games.

Among them, they both praised Saitama Seibu and Takizawa defense. In the game Orix on the 17th extra inning, with one out and two on in the bottom of the 10th inning, Takizawa catch hit a ball that almost went between second and third walk-off and quickly throw to first base. He did not allow a run to score. When Igarashi saw this, he said, "Wow, that's amazing! That's cool! I want to see this play again and again. He is not a big guy, but he is so dynamic that it makes you think that this is what it means to run around the field.

T-Okada, who has experience with first baseman defense, said, "Since the batted ball goes through center fielder, the first baseman person has to go to the relay (to predict)," Igarashi said, "It was almost going to (the relay), and the way he caught it was not extended. The fact that he made the out without stretching means he still had time to spare. ......" He praised him again.
