2024 DodgerFest: Shohei Ohtani full interview 

Buddy is getting paid in full. 😂

He looks terrible in Dodger Blue.

​@@BenDover-vs7ihcry harder babygirl 🤣

@reno-san87 yeah just like dodger fans will come October. Capiche baby mama. 🤣

His been having this kind of attention since high school for example reporters used to follow him just going to class in high school and fans

Shohei! DO NOT believe Mizuhara!!!!!!

To be fair, I’m pretty sure we’re hearing the camera’s audio. Would be nice if they included the actual mic audio

東北のご出身ですか～ （御存知の通り）大谷選手が出身の岩手奥州市周辺は、 ・栄華を誇った奥州藤原氏ゆかりの地として有名で（鎌倉時代に関東～関西に多い源氏の頼朝公に滅ぼされる形） ・戦国～江戸時代には仙台伊達氏により治められ（これも尾張三河出身の将軍徳川家により正宗公は天下獲る芽を摘まれた形） 、、という、大飢饉や天災含め歴史的にも艱難辛苦多い地でもあるようで、、そこに近年では荒川静香さんによるアジア人初の五輪金やあの羽生選手、そして今や大谷選手ですから～過去の偉人や先人方々はさぞあの世から、日本を飛び越えて世界に羽ばたく東北人大谷選手の活躍を目を細めて見守っている？のかもしれませんね（歴史ドラマ系が好きなオヤジよりｗ）。

She　is　a　black　lady　and　classy,　humble.　She　is　not　like　black　women　who　give　the　Japanese　men　bad　stereotype.　Her　existance　must　change　Japanese　men,s　mistaken　stereotype　about　black　women.

Haha, he doesn't - it's just the shine - it looks gray.

Yeah think so! Too bad as is tradition dodger interview audio is horrible

When will they figure out the audio? Can never hear anything except….? Noise.

Yes no microphone at all

Nope, Div. 1 Volleyball.

由伸の入団会見の時日本語で質問してましたよね😄

That’s what I’m saying….. I couldn’t hear a damn thing they talked about

大谷さんのLAD入団会見の日にも見ました😆(セレモニーが終わってフィールドに出てから)…記者さんに「Go IPPEI！」と励まされてました😂「sorry sorry sorry…」と言ってました

そりゃ何十億ってもろとるからな😅保険の無いアメリカでも🦷入れるのは訳ないわ

そういう事言う人居るから治したんちゃうw

I wonder if he should use an interpreter if he wants.

Who or what says he has to learn English?

He speaks non fluent English. I speak non fluent Spanish and I can promise you that if I had to do interviews in public in a professional environment I would use an interpreter. I would to make sure that I understand and am being understood correctly. Cultures differ, words can be misconstrued, grammar is different and I'd worry about it. So it makes sense for him to use an interpreter since he isn't fluent in speaking English l. In addition he once was asked about it and he said (paraphrasing) that his job is to play baseball and nothing else and thats what he is doing.

Well it's probably like having a butler to serve you a cup of coffee. You can pretty well do it by yourself but why not skip one or two steps of mental work if you can afford? Int reminded me of one Russell Peters hilarious take on how a my-english-not-so-good mind work in slo-mo (back and forth back and forth between your mother tongue and English.)

It would help both Japanese and English reporters keep track on what the other has asked when done with an interpreter
