I'm watching Game 6 of the Japan Series between Yakult and Orix. Orix is up 1-0 in the 7th.

 

[John Price]

Orix ended up winning Game 6. We go to a Game 7, and if Yakult wins...a Game 8.

Orix win the Japan series, congrats!

Why does the KBO want to come to America?

Why does the KBO want to come to America?

Because they want to expand the profile and hype of the league. MLB players were supposed to go to Korea over the off season but it fell apart. Kbo players did hold camp in Arizona over the spring though

The KBO games are all on archived Naver here. Assuming that they are streaming again.

Also, NPB started yesterday.

Central League in NPB pretty hard to watch but in USA all the Pacific League games are brodcast for free legally. Very intriguing stuff!

2 of the best pitchers in the world facing off as Roki Sasaki and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are pitching against each other right now in NPB (Sasaki and his Marines against Yamamoto and the defending champion Buffalos)

Marines up 1-0. Sasaki had a perfect game broken up in the 6th.

His commentary on the training and such is pretty insightful.

Was slumping until his breakout game in WBC semifinal against Mexico helped propel Japan to the championship game. Struggling a bit in NPB right now.
