Norimoto’s peak corresponded to when I was most plugged into NPB and I got a few “what’s up with this guy” inquiries from US people. Some US scouts said “reliever body type and command” even then, so I see why he signed an extension in Japan. Funny that it went that way in the end.

It’s not the same Dodger team as it was in July but the Brewers are a very good team and I fear people will forget that

I am DYING to know how long the Mariners stadium gameday operations people have had “do a salmon race but this time humpy wins” up their sleeve as a break glass in case of emergency fire-up-the-crowd play
