Eagles vs Swallows Postgame: Rare Form
© rakuteneagles.jp
KLEENEX STADIUM, SENDAI - Hisashi Iwakuma had a rare off-game yesterday afternoon versus the visiting Yakult Swallows, and the Rakuten defense didn't help him out either. Iwakuma (4-4) went 8 innings, but only two of the four runs he allowed were earned. Box score and video highlights inside.

KLEENEX STADIUM, SENDAI - The Eagles erupted for four runs in the fourth inning, and rode the back of Satoshi Nagai to take the first of a 2-game set against the Chunichi Dragons. Tom Selleck did not play first base for the Dragons last night.

KLEENEX STADIUM, SENDAI - The Rakuten Eagles continued their strong play of late with their second walk-off (sayonara) hit in the past three games, and are now undefeated in five. Teppei Tsuchiya provided the heroics last night, along with a strong debut by Randy Ruiz and a surprisingly effective effort by starter Darrell Rasner. You know what's inside, just click it.

The week begins on Wednesday, doesn't it? Head inside for the latest late edition of the Week In Review.
Eagles vs Buffaloes Postgame: A New Hope?

KLEENEX STADIUM, SENDAI - With the offense still on life support and the team reeling from a series sweep at the hands of the Softbank Hawks, the team got a huge boost from a couple of unlikely sources: the defense and the bullpen. Marty Brown went five-deep into his bullpen last night to eek out a 2-1 victory in an 11 inning marathon. Box score, video highlights, and some new found positivity after the break.
Week In Review, Vol.4
It's Monday or Tuesday, so let's get to the next edition of the Week In Review. The Eagles went 4-1 last week, including a sweep of the cellar-dwelling Nippon Ham Fighters. The "Big 3" also won their starts, and my favourite gaijin whipping-boy Darrell Rasner picked up his first win of the year as well! Without further ado, let's see who's made it onto The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly lists!
Eagles @ Hawks Postgame: The Way It Is
FUKUOKA, FUKUOKA - Call it a comfort zone, call it a safety net, call it what you will, but the Eagles just plain play better when Hisashi Iwakuma or Masahiro Tanaka are pitching. There are no bullpen worries; they go 9 and even 10 innings by themselves. They just seem to be a calming influence to the team when they take to the mound. Tonight was no exception as Rakuten evened up the 3 game series by a score of 8-3. Box score, video, and my collection of in-game tweets after the break.
Eagles @ Lions Postgame: When It Counts

TOKOROZAWA, SAITAMA - In my youth, my friends and I would jump off of rocks and small cliffs into lakes. It's simple to do: you stand, you run, and you jump. It's an easy activity, and everyone can do it. You can do it in your livingroom. You can do it in your yard. But can you do it when you're standing at the edge of a 65 foot cliff? While the act remains the same, the consequences are considerably different.
Week In Review, Vol.2
If it's Monday or Tuesday, then it just might be time for the latest installment of the week in review! With the season in full swing and a heavy schedule in April, let's see how the team has fared so far this month.
Around Kleenex Stadium
Walked down to the stadium before Sunday's tilt versus the Buffaloes to take a few photos (but mostly to get some deliciously terrible festival food from nearby Tsutsujigaoka Park). Take a look at some old (and some new) decorations around the old ball field.
