On April 20, GG's Sato and T-Okada appeared on the official Persol Pacific League TV YouTube channel 'Monday Goes to Patere supported by Nash.' A new project called "GT Runs," which thoroughly analyzes the "hidden one-plays" that determined the game, has launched.

After prefacing by saying, "It's something only I can say, and it's also about my junior," Mr. Sato from GG chose the error by player Takayoshi Yamamura in the second round of the April 18 Hokkaido Nippon-Ham vs. Saitama Seibu Lions. Yamamura, who had hit a go-ahead RBI single, failed to get a grounder between third and shortstop, resulting in an error.

Regarding the play that ultimately led to a big 5-run inning, T-Okada said, "It's a tough situation, but since I'm getting an out, I want him to get one out." He pointed out that it turned into a major play, including making it difficult for pitcher to switch gears. GG Sato also nodded, saying, "I think it was a waste since it was after hitting it, and baseball is scary, isn't it?"

And the topic shifted to how to switch from errors. T-Okada, who said, "I also had quite a few errors that contributed to the score," said, "The more I tried to make up for it, the more good things didn't happen, so I had no choice but to focus on switching properly to the next play."

GE Sato, who is associated with 'errors,' said, "How you switch between failures is really important. Especially for batters, baseball is 70% of the time it's a failure. It's important to face that," emphasizing the importance of switching gears. T-Okada agreed, saying, "There are endless ways to face each other, but we have to face them. It's a struggle, isn't it?"
