"Monday to Pate-Tele" was started with the desire to create a time for professional baseball and Pacific League fans to enjoy even on Mondays, when there are few games. At the beginning of the sixth episode, GG Sato and Tsuji Hatsuhiko looked back on Pacific League last week.

Among them, Fukuoka Softbank finished last week's five-game series with four wins and one standings, and has risen to third place in the rankings. The team has been performing well since the beginning of the season when they struggled, and Tsuji analyzed that Yamakawa's recovery had a positive effect on the team, saying, "Yamakawa was not in good form (right after the season started). He woke up (last week) and the team has won five games in a row since then."

Even now that he has retired as manager, Tsuji is still very interested in the performance of Yamakawa, a former student of his when he was manager of Saitama Seibu. Right after the start of the season, Yamakawa was struggling with poor batting performance, so he said, "If he can't hit, he gets depressed, so I was worried... I thought about calling him," revealing his parental feelings. GG Sato was also surprised by this and said, "You're too kind...!" Tsuji went on to reveal that when he was manager of Saitama Seibu, he used to tell Yamakawa, "Always keep your head held high."
