Imanaga was on fire last year! He should be getting more props from the Japanese media.

I hope he holds the Dodgers hitless. In fact, I hope the Cubs sweep the series. Getting burnt on hearing about only the Dodgers.

It's a good thing there are 4 Japanese players because the MLB team couldn't even get a single run against the NPB team today. Japan schooled America at baseball yet again. No idea why the MLB is popular when clearly the NPB is the superior league. Must be money.

Marc. I been saying that for a decade that the NPB is superior.

@Marc--the winning pitcher for Hanshin is a twenty year old prospect who has had zero wins in NPB. Hard to assume too much from preseason/exhibition games with flashes of potential from little known players the norm.
