But they did well in Fukuoka. They're also a team not scared of Otani.

But I would say either of these teams stands a fighting chance against the Fish, where the Marines have to beat the two best teams in NPB, all on the road, to reach the Nippon Series. For which they also cede home field advantage to the CL team. Which, if it's the Carp, would require the Marines to beat the THREE best teams in baseball.<br /><br />Just my thoughts.Trevor Raichurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461727827926090024noreply@blogger.com
