Japanese Baseball Players Game 2 Not So Good
October 4, 2008
It has basically come down to Iwamura versus Fukudome plus the pitching from the Red Sox
Fukudome is a bust so far: Batting average of . 000 and three strike outs.
As for Iwamura he is MVP potential after hitting a two run Home Run in Game Two leading The Rays to their second win.
As the the Boston Pitchers. I am going to have to say soso Matsuzaka and mama for Okajima. Okajima, if you haven’t noticed has been replaced by Masterson as Papelbon set up man.
I still like him but he is losing a bit of his no look pitching mystique.
