It’s been a month since then. September 7th. Giants Sugano went up to the starting mound at Yokohama Stadium. A fight with DeNA Miyaguni who accompanied the voluntary training. Both of them faced each other with their former comrades who were expected to revive. Occasionally, I was forced to throw a painful pitch that shook my head. 108 balls. He was KO’d with 1/3 in the 4th inning, 7 hits, 7 runs, and 5 dead balls. It did not reach a complete revival.

In the previous pitching game against Yakult on September 1, 8 innings, 1 hit and no runs. It was a battle that caught the signs of a resurrection. He won the victory for the first time in more than four months and said, “Various people have been involved in this pitching. There were times when I didn’t know what to do, but not everyone can go smoothly to the end of their baseball life. I told myself that I had come and accepted the reality. “

August 7th. Twenty-four samurai who fought in the Tokyo Olympics final at Yokohama Stadium impressed the archipelago. Won the long-sought gold medal in all five races. Kanno, who was expected to be an ace at the tournament, declined because of poor conditions. “Well … it’s just regret. It’s regrettable and I can’t do anything about it. In words, it’s easy to turn it into power. I may be waiting. I feel like I can’t lose. ” I spent all my days facing my body lonely in the shadow of joy.

The Olympic gold medal mound once again challenged Kanno. I have no excuse for the unwilling pitching content. “I couldn’t make a game, so I’ll do my best to make the next game,” he said. Last season, he marked 13 consecutive victories from the opening pitcher of the professional baseball record. Heisei-born first 100 wins in total. As a great ace, he has walked proudly in the middle of the ball world. Only 3 wins and 6 losses this season. I have no intention of ending this way.[Giants charge = Satoshi Tameda]
