◇Kyuushun Miyazaki Baseball Games Orix 4-10 Korea Doosan (1st, SOKKEN Stadium)
Orix manager Kishida received "Mr. Seung's orders." "Please win the championship. Do your best!" On the 1st, the team suffered a crushing defeat in a training match against Doosan (Korea), 4-10. After the match, manager Lee Seung-yeop (48), who has hit 159 Home Run with Lotte, The Giants, and Orix, spoke in Japanese about his hopes for the team to win the championship again.
The two men played together at Orix in 2011. Manager Kishida recorded his career-high 33 saves, but missed out on the CS by just 1% of his winning percentage that season. "He was a great star, but Seung was also kind." He has an unforgettable memory of being hit by a huge home run from The Giants' big gun in 2006, when he was a rookie. Meeting each other as managers for the first time in 14 years, the two shook hands and said, "I wish you the best of luck, Seung."
On this day, Tajima and Mukugi, who are expected to be rotation candidates, both gave up three runs. Rookie Teranishi also gave up four runs in the first inning in his first external game, but did not blame them, saying, "I believe that (their condition) will steadily improve from here." Manager Lee also paid attention to his former team, saying, "pitcher 's balls and runner' feet are fast. I knew they were a basically good team, and I saw their good points. I'm rooting for them." He has kept his promise in his first year in office, and is proud to report to his senior colleagues. (Osada Toru)
