"The current situation in the Pacific League is already very clear — I think in the upcoming sprint phase, we should once again adjust the order of the starting rotation and prioritize putting all our energy into the games against the Seibu Lions and Rode. Rakuten has already gained momentum, and their magic number (Note 1) is already showing. It's clearly the least cost-effective to go head-to-head with them using our already scarce pitching reserves!"
"Mr. Oishi is right, Rakuten's advantage is growing, and both Orix and the Ham Team have fallen behind. Now, it's essentially a battle between Seibu, Rode, and us, the SoftBank Hawks, three professional baseball teams vying for two playoff spots. To refine our strategy, in the coming month, we should focus more on the games against Rode. As for Seibu, once our standings stabilize, we still have plenty of opportunities to counterattack in September or even in the makeup games in October!"
