As you know, his home stadium, Koshien, is a ballpark with an extremely low PF; over the past three years, the runs PF has been 0.909, and the home runs PF has been a mere 0.734. A sea breeze blows over the ballpark from the direction of right field, and when a left-handed batter hits the ball toward the pull side, it often loses a lot of speed and is pushed back into the field.

勤続7年目、同じ部門に配属された同期5人が今月で自分だけになるらしい

職種は部品設計、部署は違うしコロナ禍もあってあんまりお互い関わることは少ないけど「同期」ってところで気にかけてた
1年目に1人辞め、3年目に1人辞めて1人他部門へ異動、そして今月また1人辞めるらしい
他部門に異動した子はまだ社内にはいるけど、棟が違うので全然会わない

あんまり上層部の方針がよろしくないのもあって多分転職が正解なんだろうけど、自分の持ってる仕事を他の人に渡せる状態じゃなくてずっと抜け出せない、きびし〜ね〜〜

Managed to throw a bomb into both of flyfish’s launchers from directly to the side

That enemy switched its target to another player right before it opened the launcher. I just threw bombs, hoping it might work, and both of them got in lol

comeback to S+0 after 2 seasons

Last season, I just couldn't get motivated for Anarchy Battles, so I ended up playing nothing but Salmon Run.
I'll push myself for the remaining last half of the season. According to a friend I often play with, I definitely have the skills to reach S+10😮

My Own Way of Enjoying Splatfests: Fighting with Weapons I Don't Usually Use

Normally, I mostly use Stringers, especially REEFLUX, but during Splatfest, I make a point of not using them much.

I get totally crushed in about half my matches, but matches like this where I can just run roughshod over everyone are so much fun.

It's still early, but do you think there will be a Triple Crown in both the CL and PL in this season?

CL: Sato currently holds two titles and is just one HR behind Morishita. Although he hasn’t hit any HRs recently, his BA (which was his biggest challenge) is by far the best in the league. However, he tends to lose his form a bit every summer. His biggest rival is on his own team.

PL: Reyes leads in BA, while Kurihara tops the list in HR and RBI. Given Reyes’s power, I don’t think the 5 HR gap between him and Kurihara is a big deal. However, since RBIs depend on whether the preceding batter reaches base, catching up won’t be easy. On the other hand, Kurihara’s BA of .275 lags significantly behind Reyes’s .331.

By the way, tell me which NPB jersey designs you guys like

I was just wondering, so I’d love to hear your thoughts. I think it’d be great to share photos and exchange opinions with everyone.

It doesn’t matter if it’s an old design or a home/away kit—limited editions are fine too.

Since I’m a Tigers fan now, I’ll go with these two.
The first one is a home jersey from the early 2000s. It’s pretty simple, but I think I’m just romanticizing it because of my childhood memories.
The second one is the “Uru-Tora no Natsu 2013” limited edition jersey. It’s really unpopular with Japanese fans, but I absolutely love it.

Demolition of TwinRing Motegi's oval track has begun

As I mentioned in a recent post, the oval track at Twin Ring Motegi has been completely dismantled, and grass will be planted in part of the area (Turns 3–4).
Construction appears to have begun this week, starting with the removal of the catch fences.

As you likely know, Twin Ring Motegi (now known as Mobility Resort Motegi), where the Indy Japan race was once held, has not been used as a racetrack since the 2011 earthquake caused the ground to shift, resulting in significant unevenness on the course.That year’s Indy Japan race was held on the adjacent road course.

The last time an IndyCar ran there was likely during a demo run that winter, following Sato’s victory at the Indy 500 in 2017.

According to a post by Ryo Michigami, a legend of the Japanese GT scene, the oval track is being transformed into an area covered in grass where visitors can camp while watching races on the road course; as a result, today’s demo run by the JGTC cars was reportedly the last opportunity to see cars driving on the oval.

Actually, this news had already been revealed when MotoGP tickets went on sale. It was simply reiterated by officials, making it common knowledge.

Here’s a personal website that compiles various NPB stats and metrics.
It’s mostly in Japanese, but I think the UI is designed to be visually intuitive enough for English-speaking users to understand.
I hope this is helpful to those following this subreddit.
