The Yokohama BayStars' Joe Wieland doesn't yet know if he'll be nervous to start in his first Japan Series game.
"Ask me tomorrow," he said with a smile on Monday afternoon at Yokohama Stadium. "I'm OK right now."
When it comes to his level of confidence on the other hand, there are no mysteries. The BayStars right-hander, who won 10 games during the regular season and already has two victories under his belt during this postseason, is ready to go.
