The starting order is almost the same as on the 25th. On the 26th, Shogo Sakakura was the catcher. There was some concern with Shohei Suetsugu’s absence, but with Takashi Uemoto in the lineup, it seems like the batting lineup is more settled.

That’s right. He’s back from injury and is batting third. He’s also doing a good job, so it’s nice to see him calm down, but I feel a bit lonely without Suetsugu in the lineup, because long hits are an attractive feature.

On the 26th, Shohei Suetsugu was removed from the roster. Kento Nakamura was added to the first team instead. It’s possible that Kento Nakamura will be playing in tonight’s game.
