"Monday Patele Go" was started with the desire to create time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy even on Mondays when there are few games. This week, Ginji and Kaneko Yuji appeared on the show, titled "Weekly Patele Times," and explained the videos of their favorites selected by Patele from their own perspectives.

Among them, a video of Ginji's signature "bat spinning" move from his active days was introduced, and when he saw the video, he immediately exclaimed in surprise, "You recorded that!" Kaneko smiled and said, "When I think of Ginji, I think of this 'bat spinning'. I watched it a lot (when I was active). I was sure he was doing it on purpose," to which Ginji reminisced, "There were times when I did it on purpose..."

When Kaneko pointed out, "You did it when you were like, 'Let's take a look at this pitch,' right?", Ginji immediately replied, "Yes, I did." He revealed that it was also a barometer of his condition, saying, "It was part of my performance, and when I can do the 'spin the bat', it means I've made a good miss. I'm going for a good swing."

Furthermore, during the program, they demonstrated a "bat spin"! Kaneko, who was watching the demonstration from close range, asked again, "Do you need one more spin (after what you missed)?", to which Ginji replied, "Towards the end, I thought there might be some fans who came to see this, so I might have done it," revealing his caring side towards his fans.
