On that 'Star:
Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
Put you on a yacht, but they won't call it a slave ship
Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this
Screaming "brand new", when they just sanitized the old sh*t

Lotte Marines skipper Masato Yoshii said the reason Roki Sasaki was pulled after 5 innings in the midst of a no-hit bid was Roki got a blister on his right middle finger. The team will look at his finger 2 days later before deciding his next start

Nippon-Ham Fighters manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo rolled up to the stadium in a Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole, with a wrapping styled after the uniform he designed. The wrapping supposedly cost ~$22K USD

Did I just hear the announcer say this was an "interview chance" for Oka? I might have misheard it, but I like it and will use it for similar situations.
That was almost a home run, and Yanagita is a little banged up after hitting the fence.

Roki Sasaki threw five no-hit innings with 12 strikeouts against the Hawks tonight. The Marines sent in a reliever to start the sixth.
Sasaki has a 0.84 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 32 innings this season.

Been a little pattern to Roki Sasaki's pitch counts this year: 80, 105, 88, 106, 89 (tonight)
So I guess the Fighters had better get ready for the all the smoke next week.

He's already thrown 89 pitches, though, so that probably doesn't really matter, to be honest.

He also hasn't allowed a hit yet, although that funky wind tonight can make that interesting.

Roki Sasaki now has 12 strikeouts after five innings.
The single-game record is 19, first set by Koji Noda in 1955 and matched by Sasaki last season.

Willians Astudillo hit a fly ball to left for the first out of the fifth just now, which feels like a small victory at this point.

Maru's first sayonara homer for the Giants, and a fitting end to a game that had six home runs.

Shohei Ohtani has allowed 3 hits in this inning, which equals the most he's allowed in a game so far this season.
The last was a 2-run HR, and the Angels are down 4-3 in the 4th.
