"It's because of a lack of skill. I'm sorry I lost by my mistake."
Yomiuri Giants infielder Makoto Kadowaki (24) bowed his head and blamed himself after the Chunichi Dragons match on the 13th. The victory of Masahiro Tanaka (37), who was aiming for the "199 wins" in the U.S.-Japan career, flew in front of his eyes, and Yomiuri, which was leading 3-0, lost 3-4. Kadowaki, who started as the 8th-2nd baseman, made an excuse for a come-from-behind defeat with a defensive error. The match against Chunichi on the 13th may be a trauma that he has not forgotten for a long time.
Junichi attack in the top of the fifth inning with a 3-0 lead. With one out and one on the first base, Kadowaki caught a ground ball hit by Yasuhiro Yamamoto, No. 2, and threw it to second base. 4-6-3 Aimed for a double play. However, the throw went wide and went to the foul area on the third base. In the meantime, first baseman Yuki Okabayashi ran home after running around the second and third bases. 3-1.
I was able to finish the inning without losing a point, but the crisis of losing a point continued. Tanaka, the starting pitcher who had been playing well, was shaken. Seiji Uebayashi, No. 3, with one out and second base, and Jason Bosler, No. 5, with two outs and second base, hit a timely hit. 3-3. It happened in a flash immediately after the throwing error. Tanaka finished the inning by catching No. 6 Yuta Ishii with a fly ball to right field.
The aftershocks of the catastrophe followed. 3-3 at the top of the sixth inning. Daichi Kikuchi, who took the mound after Tanaka, gave up a come-from-behind home run to the first batter. Chunichi No. 7 Michael Chavis hit a fork ball thrown by Kikuchi and flew it to the left stands at Tokyo Dome. A home run came out on the ball count of 2S. The Yomiuri Giants, busy with this shot, lost the victory in vain. Baseball is a flow game. Kadowaki's throwing error in the fifth inning, which boasts solid defense, was painful.
He was also disappointed in the batting. In the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Yoshihiro Maru hit a first home run. The center hit line exploded in a series, adding two more points. There was a chance to load the bases with 3-0.1. One shot could bring the flow completely. With the bases loaded, Kadowaki's bat split through the air. Yomiuri failed to score an additional point and finished the first inning.

It's been three years since I joined the team. Kadowaki's main position is shortstop. Last year, he pushed veteran Hayato Sakamoto (37) to third base and jumped to the main shortstop. When it comes to defense, it was evaluated as the highest level. Last year, he played 107 games as a shortstop, 16 as a third baseman, and 2 as a second baseman. It seemed that a generational change from Sakamoto to Kadowaki was taking place naturally.
However, there is a variable. Yuta Izuguchi (26), who joined through social baseball, came up as the main shortstop in his second year. As of the 13th, Izuguchi ranks first in the team's batting average (0.289), hits (102), runs (44), and on-base percentage (0.347). Kazuma Okamoto (29), the leading hitter, is a key player in the Yomiuri attack due to injury. Kadowaki is batting .219-33. As the main second baseman Naoki Yoshikawa left, he has played as a second baseman in the last 11 consecutive games.
He had four hits and five strikeouts until the fourth inning. Tanaka, who took the mound for the first time in six days, failed to overcome the crisis in the fifth inning. He allowed seven hits and three runs until the fifth inning, 81 pitches. The loss is all self-imposed. I wasn't lucky, and I lacked concentration at the end. In a post-match interview, he said "I'm sorry for the team."
Manager Abe Shinnosuke Yomiuri left the stadium without a media interview after the game for the fourth time this year. Through the promotion of the club, only comments were delivered to the reporters. Toshiya Sugiuchi, the pitching coach, said of Tanaka's next pitching schedule, "Team victory comes first." You should consult with the director." Yomiuri is in second place in the Central League, 12 games behind the Hanshin Tigers.
Tanaka allowed two runs in five ⅔ against Yakult Swallows on the 7th. It was replaced after allowing a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning, and Yomiuri defeated

Tanaka took the mound for the first time in the game against Chunichi on April 3 and secured his 198th win in the U.S.-Japan career, and has no win. He won 119 games with the Rakuten Eagles, moved to the Yomiuri Giants, won one, and won 78 games in the Major League for the New York Yankees. It is very difficult to have two wins left in the career '200 wins'.
