The Giants, who had been postponed for six games due to more than 80 positive cases due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus, resumed the game from the Hanshin match (Tokyo Dome) on the 2nd.
Coach Tatsunori Hara (64), who was found to be infected on the 22nd of last month, has also returned, and the acting coach for the first time in seven years has become a phantom.
The Giants reported at a temporary meeting of 12 team representatives on the 1st, “We would like to hold the event with the best members we can gather at the moment.”
Players who finished the isolation period began to return to practice from the 27th of last month, and some of them said, “Even if I participate in official games, I have recovered to a level where I can play without worrying about injury or injury. I explained the grounds for the official battle.
In the baseball world, which was swallowed by the seventh wave of infection, the substitute commander led the team while the coach who was positive for Yakult and Nippon-Ham was absent from the bench.
The Giants were also struck by the misfortune of Hara’s 64th birthday being found to be positive for corona, and if his return was delayed, Daisuke Motoki head and offensive chief coach (50) “was planned to act” (baseball team relations). Fortunately, “Although he had symptoms of fever, he is expected to be able to return from the 2nd” (ibid.).
In addition, Hara missed one game in 2014 during the second administration due to the emergency hospitalization of his biological father. In 2015, he missed five games with the flu. Masahiro Kawai, who was the head coach at that time, served as the acting director of the farm (57), and has achieved good results of 5 wins and 1 loss.
