No games, but news
It looks like Nippon Pro Baseball will again pass on holding the Asia Series, which featured Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan, and roll up their sleeves to get ready for a possible International Series against the Major League World Series winner.
When that international series might come about is still in doubt, but a committee meeting Monday in Tokyo led to NPB deciding to play a series against the Korean champion, just as last year, on Nov. 13 and 14.
The committee will meet again in May and discuss how to proceed.
OFF-DAY NOTES
DID YOU SEE THAT?!!
SoftBank is having a hard time swallowing an umpiring Thursday decision. The club sent a letter and video footage of Hisashi Takayama advancing from second base to third on a flyout to right field after he led off the frame with a double.
SoftBank said the footage from Seibu Dome shows Takayama failed to tag up before going to third.
The Hawks won the game 11-5.
TEEN SPIRIT
Chunichi’s second-year righty Junki Ito became the first teen hurler to win a start for the Dragons since Shinji Imanaka did it 21 years ago. Imanaka, a lefty, was the 1993 Sawamura Award winner.
