I saw this thread too. Also watch Japanese games occasionally. Saw the Giants beat the Dragons in the Tokyo Dome a few years ago.
I'm 100% for signing Murakami. Yoan is very likely gone in 2026. The guaranteed money + posting fees are likely too much for the Sox, though.
Also, this is the kind of game they need to have more often. Take their walks, wait the pitcher out and focus on getting those baserunners in. Hopefully this is a sign of a positive trend.
Kopech struggling with control after a walk with two runners on, so what does Rosario do? Swings at the first offspeed pitch low and borderline out of the zone. Hate when we do it, LOVE to see the other team do it.
