On the 14th, Orix Buffaloes lose 0-3 to Rakuten Eagles (Rakuten Eagles Mobile). Despite currently being in first place, they suffered their seventh shutout game loss of the season. In their last six games, they have a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, all of which have been shutout game, indicating that their batting lineup continues to be inconsistent.

Akihiko Oya, who appeared as a commentator on CS Fuji TV ONE's "Pro baseball News 2026" broadcast on the 14th, commented on the recent Orix Buffaloes batting lineup, saying, "It seems like the batting lineup isn't connecting well right now..." Fellow commentator Ryota Igarashi analyzed, "It depends on how Orix Buffaloes takes it... A loss is a loss, just a loss. Even if you score 10 runs, if you lose, you lose, right? But I think they're in first place because they're able to play in a way that they absolutely win when they can win... It depends on how they take it. I think they're winning in a clever way."

Program host Hiroki Nomura commented, "This team is unsettling because, with this offensive lineup, they've gone 3-3 in their last 6 games."
