Baseball fans upset that model Suzuki Nana delayed the game due to her opening pitch

In a game between the Rakuten Eagles and Chiba Lotte Marines on April 27th, the game was delayed due to the opening pitch by model Suzuki Nana.

Suzuki took to the mound to pitch, but each time she said she was going to pitch, she didn’t do it. One mascot kept pointing at his wrist (to let her know the time). Granted, it only took less than two minutes but for those cold and in the rain, it probably lasted much longer than they hoped for.

And unfortunately, those who were angered took to Twitter, Suzuki’s Instagram to show their disappointment.

Taishi Foods took to Twitter to apologize to baseball fans for the delay:

タイシデーにご来場下さりました皆様、並びに選手・球団関係者、芸能事務所の皆様、タレント鈴木奈々さん
誠にありがとうございました。
そして当日の始球式が遅れ、皆様にご迷惑をお掛けした事、大変申し訳ございませんでした。
私達スポンサーの準備・説明不足であったと深く反省しております。 https://t.co/mh5MPGP8Iz

One female fan wrote, “What a shame! This is not a fun place, it’s a battlefield!”

Another wrote, “She should apologize, especially to the players!”

“Suzuki Nana really annoyed me. It was too bad and you can hear the angry audience. The players and staff must also found it annoying”.

“Why is Taishi Foods apologizing? It should be Suzuki Nana’s agency management office that should apologize. The opening ceremony is not for one to play around. Suzuki Nana tried to be fun but instead, she delayed the game and made a bad impression to the audience and fans of both teams. Suzuki Nana is was not suitable at all”.
