Japan uses series against South Korea to prep for World Baseball Classic title defense
The chance to play with the pitch clock and PitchCom — neither of which is used in NPB — was the main takeaway for Japan.

Japan manager Hirokazu Ibata said last night that Daisuke Moriura, who gave up two homers, said the PitchCom was hard to hear, so the other pitchers turned it up. He said that was a focus for them ahead of the WBC, that and the pitch clock and rules that aren't in NPB.

They stopped letting media in the dugouts, but the Tokyo Dome ground rules used to be posted on the wall. Probably online somewhere too, to be honest.
The umps just got it wrong initially, it looked like, before the one from NPB stepped in.

Japan hadn't done anything in this game, and then Korea scored three runs, and then Japan decided to wake up and score three in the next half inning.

Professional sumo’s ring remains off-limits to women and girls — not by law, but by centuries of belief and tradition.

Goto Teruki, a Japanese perennial candidate who is known for his odd election speeches and posters, is running for Tokyo's Katsushika ward assembly.
He is wearing a penis costume on his election posters, and apparently police ordered him to censor them with a black marker.

I can't believe that Lou Whitaker is not on this year's Contemporary Era ballot. He should have been in the Hall of Fame many years ago and now has to wait a minimum of 3 more years to potentially be considered. He deserves his big day and it absolutely sucks that baseball continues to overlook him.

In MLB, NPB, and CPBL the championships were all decided by the visiting team hitting a home run in the 11th inning of the final game.
What an amazing coincidence!
