The Hawks dominated Japanese baseball in 2024 before falling apart in the Japan Series last year. After traveling a rough road in the wake of that loss, the team is now firmly back on top. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/31/baseball/japanese-baseball/hawks-japan-series-win/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #fukuokasoftbankhawks #yokohamadenabaystars #japanseries

With the Dodgers' World Series repeat bid in the balance, manager Dave Roberts has said that everything is on the table in Game 6, including using Shohei Ohtani as a relief pitcher. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/31/baseball/mlb/dodgers-ohtani-relief-pitcher/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #mlb #losangelesdodgers #shoheiohtani #torontobluejays #worldseries

Game 5 of #baseball #WorldSeries 2025!

My #TOR #bluejays did it again! This time I did enforce the win by listening the game ON RADIO!! Yeah, in a radio station in AM!!

This time we gave them what they want, starting with one Homerun in the first pitch and a second HR in the third pitch! Yet another record! No team had 2 HR in the first 3 pitches in a #WorldSeries, so #LAD #Dodgers barely did something and we won 6-1!

The series is now 3-2,  I always believed in you folks, my Blue Jays!

Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks pitcher Ryosuke Otsu made a hit during Game 4 of the Japan Series — and he might be one of the last to ever do it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/30/baseball/japanese-baseball/pitchers-hitting-npb-otsu/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #ryosukeotsu #japanseries #fukuokasoftbankhawks #hirokikokubo #hanshintigers

The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks made all the right moves against the Hanshin Tigers in Game 4 of the Japan Series to move one win away from the title. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/29/baseball/japanese-baseball/japan-series-hawks-tigers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #japanseries #hanshintigers #fukuokasoftbankhawks #hirokikokubo #hotakayamakawa #ryosukeotsu

Kenta Imamiya's spectacular play helped SoftBank win Game 3 of the Japan Series, and it may live on in team lore if the club goes on to capture the championship. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/29/baseball/japanese-baseball/japan-series-game-3-imamiya/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #kentaimamiya #fukuokasoftbankhawks #hanshintigers #japanseries

After watching Dodgers two-way standout Shohei Ohtani baffle their pitching staff during Game 3 of the World Series, the Blue Jays have made a bold decision: they are done pitching to baseball's biggest star. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/29/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-walking-ohtani/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #mlb #shoheiohtani #daveroberts #johnschneider #losangelesdodgers #torontobluejays #worldseries

Game 4 of #baseball #WorldSeries 2025!

My #TOR #bluejays neutralized Ohtani as both: pitcher and batter, #LAD Dodgers barely did something and we won 6-2!

The series is now tied 2-2, I always believed in you folks, my Blue Jays!

Game 4 of #baseball #WorldSeries 2025!

This time I ain't watching more than 11 innings, if we have extra innings I'll be posting two messages: one celebrating #TOR #bluejays victory and other with the #LAD #Dodgers winning, OK? So I can go to sleep on time, you can safely ignore the one post that didn't get it right.

OK, thanks you very much.

The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks did just enough to escape with a victory over the Hanshin Tigers in Game 3 of the Japan Series on Tuesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/28/baseball/japanese-baseball/hawks-win-japan-series-third-game/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #japanseries #kentaimamiya #livanmoinelo #fukuokasoftbankhawks #hanshintigers

Game 3 of #baseball #worldSeries 2025!

18 innings, and more than 600 pitches, 19 pitchers.

This #LADodgers victory is also mine, since I was here, watching the more than 6 hours and 40 minutes of the game.

P.S. I've been a Dodger since the 80s, when Fernando "el Toro" Valenzuela was the best player of the #MLB

The Hanshin Tigers' famously fervent supporters will likely kick it up another few levels as the Japan Series shifts to Koshien, beginning with Game 3 on Tuesday night. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/27/baseball/japanese-baseball/japan-series-game-3-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #japanseries #hanshintigers #fukuokasoftbankhawks #kyujifujikawa #hirokikokubo #ukyoshuto

Ukyo Shuto’s blazing speed was on display during the first two games of the Japan Series, but he also made his mark at the plate and in center field in an all-around display. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/27/baseball/japanese-baseball/ukyo-shuto-japan-series/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #ukyoshuto #fukuokasoftbankhawks #hanshintigers #japanseries

After the long 32-year wait to return to Canada, the World Series shifts back to Los Angeles, where memories remain thick from its visit just one year ago. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/10/27/baseball/mlb/world-series-game-3-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #mlb #maxscherzer #torontobluejays #losangelesdodgers #worldseries #daveroberts #tylerglasnow
