Those Japanese pitchers doe that in thir youth leagues and a lot of them are done before they reach the age of 18. Its a different culture with a different philosophy. If an American Little League coach did that to his pitchers their father's would lynch him.
Not a good day for langes location. But be battled. Good sign. Never gave in. Knew this would be a tough go. Still have life but we have to get to this pitcher. I watched a &.m last week and they have one reliever that is wicked. And a couple more pretty unhittable when they are on.
