Tomura and Arime Injured, Linden Update

Rubbing salt into their 19-3 loss yesterday, rookie starter Kenji Tomura and reliever Kanehisa Arime, both left-handers, will spend a little down time as they nurse some injuries. Gen from Yakyu Baka has more:

...Kenji Tomura and Kanehisa Arime were taken off the active roster on Wednesday due to an apparent injuries -- Tomura felt tightness in his left flank and Arime felt discomfort in his shoulder.

And an update on Todd Linden's status, he should be ready to play again by the end of the week. They could use some pop and defense from the switch-hitting left fielder.

Week In Review, Vol.5

wir5

A day late and a hundred yen short, but nevertheless here's volume five of the Week In Review. Just like back in the 'real' world, it was sweeps week as the season entered May. Rakuten fell to Softbank, but came back strong to sweep the plummeting Orix Buffaloes. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach after the break.

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.

Eagles @ Buffaloes Postgame: Throwing It All Away

Rakuten held a slim 4-3 lead going into the ninth inning, but a game-tying home run off of Kazuo Fukumori and a bases-loaded wild pitch by Shinichiro Koyama sealed their fate, falling 5-4 with Fukumori taking the loss.

Highlights include a 3-run shot by Todd Linden, a stellar defensive play by SS Naoto Watanabe, and lefty reliever Kanehisa Arime not hitting any Orix batters in the head. The box score and a couple videos after the jump.

Eagles vs Fighters CS Game 5 Postgame: Sayonara

.
SAPPORO DOME, SAPPORO - The Rakuten Eagles surprising season came to an unfortunate close Saturday evening, as they fell to the Nippon Ham Fighters 9-4 in the fifth game of the Climax Series, 2nd Stage. The loss also closes the book on manager Katsuya Nomura, who was not offered the skipper's job for the 2010 season, but may return to the team in some honourary capacity.

Eagles vs Fighters CS Game 2 Postgame: Paradise Lost

SAPPORO DOME, SAPPORO - Two outs. They can come in a blink of an eye, with a second baseman turning a 6-4-3 double play. 2 outs. They can take forever, as pitch after pitch gets batted around the ball park like a pinball. ２アウト。 Sometimes, they never come at all.
