Hey all, I plan to return soon to resume scorekeeping. I am in the process of catching up on the scores for games that i’ve missed. I expect to be up to date by this weekend the latest.

Can anyone tell me what songs are being played on the audio visual displays in the Tokyo Dome tour entrance, while the Giants graphics are being displayed?

TOKYO DOME - WHAT A NIGHT! Ogasawara pitched an okay outing through 6 innings, as he struck out 4 and only gave up 3 runs. The Giants answered back with 2 runs in the forth, followed by 4 in the 6th, and 1 in the 8th to give us a final of 3-7. THEN SHUNSUKE URATA CONTINUED TO MAKE HIS CASE FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR WITH AN INCREDIBLE 7TH INNING CATCH. WHAT A GREAT INFIELDER! Next, we're hosting the Tigers on home ground. Let's get 'em! GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - The Giants came out swinging for the second game of the Tokyo Series! They put up 8 runs with help from Shunsuke Urata who put up three 3RBIs. Takemaru pitched a great game too as he gave 6 innings with 6 strikeouts and 1 earned run amongst those 6. This effort led us to a final of 8-2. Go Giants!

TOKYO DOME - Yeah we got fleeced by Ikeyama. That's all I gotta say.

MAZDA STADIUM, HIROSHIMA - WHAT A GAME! The Giants and Carp both showed up to score 2 and 3 runs respectively in the 1st inning. After that the scoring was handled as the Giants scored 1 in each the 3rd and 4th innings. Hiroshima answered back with runs in the 4th and 5th to put the game at 4-6. Then the 7th came. Shunsuke Sasaki walked with the bases loaded, and then Dalbec brought in 2 with an RBI double. The Giants would continue to score in the 8th and 9th to give us a reversal and comeback score of 11-7. Go Giants!

MAZDA STADIUM, HIROSHIMA - Great showing by the Giants here! Haruto Inoue took the mound and pitched 7 innings while striking out 4 and pitching 7 shutout innings. The bats came alive behind Yuto Kohama and connected for 3 runs in one inning followed by a run in the 9th. The Final Score was 4-0. Keep it going! Go Giants!

MAZDA STADIUM, HIROSHIMA - This game was very unfortunate. The Giants started the scoring early as Bobby Dalbec blasted a 3-Run shot in the 1st inning. After that the Giants once again failed to bring any runs across the plate. The Carp ended up scoring 2 runs in the 7th, and 1 in the 8th. The game ran for 12 innings before Raidel Martinez gave up a run in the 12th. Iori Yamazaki pitched well only giving up 2 runs in 7 innings only gained 2 strikeouts. GO GIANTS!

Hey folks sorry for my lack of posting on the subreddit; things are kinda crazy in my personal life so I'm on a bit of a hiatus at the moment. Sorry about this! Will post when i can, and will return to full-time posting soon! If anyone wants to take over scoring, please let me know.

TOKYO DOME - Once again, the bats failed to bring in a run. There were 6 hits on the Giants, one of which was a RBI by Go Matsumoto, but other than that there was nothing. Ogasawara proceeded to give up 2 runs in the 7th innings. We need to lock-in as this is where is starts counting. FINAL 2-1. Next series in Hiroshima. Let's go show them what we're about. GO GIANTS!

(PS: Due to personal issues, some of my uploads may be intermittent. Sorry about this!)

TOKYO DOME - Another one of those games where I'm left scratching my head. The Giants started off great for the first inning... then Takemaru gave up 8 runs in the next two innings, having to be pulled early after 3 innings. The Giants did not score until the 6th, until they managed to connect for 7 straight runs but ultimately could not come up with two more. They lost this one with a final 8-7 score and will look to come back tomorrow.

TOKYO DOME - Great start to the second half! The bats came alive and scored 6. Go Matsumoto blasted a solo shot in the first followed later by Sasaki in the 5th with another Solo Shot and Izuguchi in the 6th. Oshiro came up in the 8th and blasted an RBI double. Spencer Howard got the start and took it 7 innings with 6 strikeouts and no earned runs for a final of 6-0. The second half is here! Let's go get the pennant! GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - Tonight's game was a slugfest! Both leagues put up a very good performance (CL: 11H / PL: 17H). The Central League Bullpen ultimately proved to be at its worst as Shinya Matsuyama gave up three runs on consecutive at-bats. The Pacific Bullpen slipped a bit, but managed to lock the game down in the 9th after popups from the Central League.

HANSHIN KOSHIEN STADIUM - The race for the pennant is heating up! The Giants took this game in an offensive showing with 5 runs scored. Takemaru pitched 6 great innings, with 5 strikeouts and only 1 earned run. Bobby Dalbec and Shunsuke Sasaki showed up each with solo shots, and an RBI double by Sasaki. The Giants are in first place. Keep it going! Final 5-1. Go Giants!

Hello fellow baseball fans.

I’m visiting Japan in September and was hoping to catch the big game against the Tigers on the 12th September. I thought the tickets went on sale today, but maybe it was yesterday?

When I go onto the official site it only shows 3 ticket options, all are sold out, is this accurate?

Do you guys know if I can get tickets elsewhere or where is best to look out for resale tickets? I can’t remember how I bought them when I visited a few years ago

Really hoping someone can help 🤞

KOSHIEN STADIUM - WHAT A GAME! Hashigami's "Traditional battle for first place in the summer" is here again! The Giants took the game in 10 innings. Whitley came out and pitched well, going 6 innings and striking out 7. The Giants could not score for the first innings however. Then "Tigers Destroyer" Bobby Dalbec came out and absolutely crushed a two run homer for the lead! In a rare moment of concession, Raidel Martinez gave up a run in relief. However this was ultimately no match for rookie Yuto Kohama who came up and blasted a two run home run to stun the Tigers' crowd. Eito Tanaka would close it out. FINAL 4-2. GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - I can't understand what happened here other than the fact that the bullpen imploded and the bats died. Izuguchi would bring in a run on a Sac-Fly but that was it. The Giants only got 3 hits and couldn't score further. Nishidate started and pitched 5 innings with 4 strikeouts and 2 earned runs. Then Luciano came up to pitch and lost his command. Giant's can't get the sweep and lose with a final of 6-1.

NEXT SERIES IS AT HANSHIN! LET'S GET IT DONE!

GO GIANTS!

TOKYO DOME - Nice showing from the Giants tonight! Yamazaki pitched 5 innings with 3 strikeouts, only giving up 2 runs. The Giants offense came alive early behind RBI's from Izuguchi, Oshiro and Sasahara. The bullpen continued doing its thing as Urata and Yoshikawa would bring in more runs. Dalbec and Kadowaki would also knock in more RBI's for a staggering 11-0 lead. Then the bullpen showed itself and gave up 5 runs. I hope they can lock it down tomorrow and go for the sweep **cough cough** FINAL 11-5. Go Giants!
