僅差の接戦「低反発ボールへの適応の話」

広島の優勝が現実になりそうな気がする。点をたくさん取るわけではない。しかし失点をうまく防いでいる。ネットでは弱そうに見えて首位にいるのが謎と言われている。守備のうまさで勝つのは地味な戦術で派手さはないが僅差を勝ち抜いている。
Hiroshima is likely to win the pennant race in the central league in 2024, in fact, our team couldn’t gain numerous runs, in turn, they cannot fail to prevent the opponent team from obtaining multiple runs, in short, they manage to minimize their runs given up, which has maintained the leading position in recent weeks, an online article says.
Social media says that Hiroshima should look weak, but they actually have won the most victories, which enables various opponents’ supporters to wonder whether their defensive strategies would function successfully or not.
Of course, the baseball team filled with several sluggers, power hitters, like Yokohama, don’t like weak, but they cannot prevent extra runs give up, after all, they are far from the championship, and considering this, our team is likely to make us feel pleasant and comfortable, he says.

首脳陣の選手管理も上手く機能している。大怪我でなくても筋肉のちょっとした違和感も休養の対象になる。昨年の今頃は複数人のレギュラーが怪我で抜けた。最も大事な局面で主力メンバーが不在だった。その反省が今年は活かされているようだ。
Hiroshima’s brains have been successful in managing their athletes in the physical and mental viewpoints.
Of course, a few players with serious injuries mustn’t continue to perform in the match, but one with slightly different senses shouldn’t play in the game, which might be their principle that their players could demonstrate their best performances when they are free from injuries.
This time of the last season, we did lack several regular members due to their injuries, which made the team lose numerous indispensable games because a few capable starters had to be absent from the vital matches.
But they treasure such unfortunate incidents in 2023, after all, they cannot waste what occurred in the past.

１番の特徴は外国人打者に依存してないところだ。依存したくても怪我してばかりなので依存できないだけなのだが。そこで奮起するのが２軍にいる若手だ。やる気満々らしい。首脳陣は常に情報交換しながら１軍と２軍の選手入れ替えをしている。
What amazes us the most is that the brains won’t be dependent on foreign players from America, although they wanted to depend on their superior performances.
However, a few of them have always suffered from their injuries, one of whom took a surgery and returned home.
These incidents, though, have enabled numerous young athletes struggling in the subordinates’ leagues to take pains and make efforts in order to demonstrate their capable potentials during the night matches, we know.
Almost all the brains, including those involved in various kinds of fields, have always connected with one another, which has had essential influences on activating all the players both the regular starters and the young players in the subordinates’ league, an online article says.
