What is the reason why it is dangerous if the optimistic mood created by the mass media that “making it through the primary league is a matter of course” spreads to SAMURAI JAPAN? ?[WBC baseball writers’ roundtable discussion]Many commentators are predicting starting lineups, but Daisuke Nakajima said, “We will try various players in the first league and use the players who are in good condition after the quarterfinals.” He told me that director Hideki Kuriyama might take a stance. By the way, the final match of the first league is against Australia. If they have won all the games until then, they can use so-called “trial players for the quarter-finals and beyond” against Australia, but the second game is scheduled to be against their arch-nemesis, South Korea. If they miss this match against Korea, they will have to go into the final match against Australia with a winning attitude, and it is expected that they will not be able to make a trial run. In addition, Daisuke Nakajima wants people to remember the Tokyo Olympics. He said that he should not be too optimistic about this WBC, considering that the Japanese batting lineup had a hard time against foreign pitchers who throw a moving ball. In the world, there is an atmosphere that “it is natural to break through the first league”, but it is not always possible to hit. In addition, there is no guarantee that Yu Darvish, Shohei Ohtani, or Yoshinobu Yamamoto will never be hit. It’s important to be a “hot but calm fan” without being overwhelmed by the atmosphere created by the mass media! !
