Tomorrow I can watch from the first pitch! Can’t wait!🤩

What a shame I can’t watch another amazing game today, but I’ll catch some of it during my lunch break. As always, my heart is at Wrigley Field, 6,300 miles away. Go Cubs Go! @Cubs #BeHereForIt  #FlyTheW

Go Sam! Let's Gooooo!!

Go Cubs Go!!

Today was the ticket sales day for the BayStars vs. Giants Playoff First Stage at Yokohama Stadium. Sales started at noon, but I couldn’t get through at all. When I finally got connected about 20 minutes later, everything was already sold out.💀🤣

I believe we won’t get swept. The Brewers’ strength is impressive, not flashy, but steady and solid. But it’s not over yet. The Cubs’ explosive power can still take down the Brewers.🔥

And I think Brewers manager Pat Murphy made a brilliant move bringing in Misiorowski as the 3rd pitcher. The game really showcased the Brewers’ strength, not flashy, but solid and effective. It’s frustrating, but hats off to the Brewers...

I’m watching yesterday’s highlights right now, and Seiya Suzuki’s 1st-inning HR was absolutely insane. As for Shōta, maybe it would’ve been better if he hadn’t pitched yesterday, but he just needs to work on not giving up that big hit.

🥲

Cubs.🥲

Good morning, Cubs family! I can only catch a bit of today’s game during my break, but my heart is always with you all. Let’s get the W today and return to sweet home Chicago! Go Cubs Go! #Postseason @Cubs #BeHereForIt #FlyThew

Manager Saburo seems like a good fit, but I feel that the season’s results largely depend on the front office and team management as well.🤔

I just realized that Eugenio Suarez, whom many fans—including myself—had hoped would be traded to the Cubs, hit 49 HRs this season, but since moving to the Mariners, his BA and OBP are the lowest of his career, and his SLG has dropped significantly.😲

Congrats!🎉 Ohtani is just unbelievable.. 😵‍💫

Well, I’ll watch Shohei Ohtani on the mound.

I was finally able to buy the brand-new BayStars 2023 Interleague Shōta T-shirt that I had wanted for a long time, for $13 on Mercari, which is like the Japanese version of eBay. #Cubs #BeHereForIt

I’m so proud to be a Cubs fan.

I just realized the game now starts at 6 a.m. Japan time. That means I can sleep in a bit, but I’ll only be able to watch for an hour or two. Oh well, it’s fine—see you tomorrow!

Good morning, Cubs family! Only 5 hours left until Game 3 starts. I had planned to go to bed earlier to be ready for this historic moment, though. Good night, see you in 5 hours!👋🏻😴

Sam, Bob, Amy and Steve! This is a great photo!!

Cubs W!! Sing that damn song!! Woohoo!!🤩🙌🏻

Congratulations to Masahiro Tanaka on 200 career wins between NPB and MLB!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oof… Munetaka Murakami blasts a two-run homer on Bullet Liner No. 21… U.S. baseball fans, please take good care of Murakami…

When “next year” comes, everyone will say, “This is the year.” I don’t think it’s just Carp or Cowboys fans.😂

Currently, the notable NPB players considering a move to MLB via posting after the 2025 season are:

Pitchers: Hiroto Saiki (Tigers), Kōna Takahashi (Lions), Tatsuya Imai (Lions)

Position players: Munetaka Murakami (Swallows), Kazuma Okamoto (Giants)

I might have mentioned this before, but I have a friend who has been supporting the Carp for decades, and because of that special connection, I really hope they make a comeback.

Why did the Carp end up like this?🤔 10 years ago, they were really strong and even “Carp Girls” became a big trend, but now the stands are half empty...😶

Seiya’s comeback is crucial for winning in the playoffs!
