GM Notebook - July 1, 2042
Interleague roughed us up again, we only went 12-12. Started with a Matsumoto no-hitter at Meiji Jingu (2nd in his career, 3rd in franchise history), lost 5 in a row to end the month. SoftBank went 17-7 to win the interleague title.
As a result, our league in the division has shrunk to 5.5 games. Hirao's been subpar as a replacement to the oft-injured Morioka, so time for Yukio Ogawa to get some reps there. Alejandrez had an injury, Grate slugged 3 HRs in one game while he was out, but then he got injured.
Still, Matsumoto's having a career year even by his standards, and this deadline could prove interesting. The plan for the years to come still hinges on his opting out or not.
