台日友好✨🇹🇼×🇯🇵✨

visited japan in 2019. people are so polite and nice, you never feel uncomfortable. a lot to learn from them

Not just the US. There are many nations in many sports that could take a leaf out of the Japanese book. Respect for opposition (players and fans) has virtually disappeared.

It's also nice how they pass it one to another when shohei hits a home run. But if he hits it in the US, everyone is going to fight for it

Thank You♥️

そう思ってる時点で充分立派だぜ

Did you know that Nootbar is very popular in Japan as well? Because he plays hard and works hard with his teammates to help the Japanese team win. Rather than winning or losing, the Japanese place more importance on "Are you making an effort" and "Are you working hard?" Of course, manners are also important. He satisfies all of these requirements and actually produces results. Furthermore, he attracts people with his charming personality. The Japanese team recently played against the Czech Republic, and we was able to feel their passion and joy in playing pure baseball. Overnight, the Japanese public fell in love with the Czech Republic team. Even Shohei Ohtani posted a picture of them on Instagram with the caption “Respect”. I was able to get to know Nootbar and the Czech Republic team, and I think this is the best part of international matches.

I am Japanese. Nootbaar is very popular in Japan now. Defensively full of fighting spirit, good batting, running bases with all his might, and a cheerful and friendly personality. He is now an integral part of the Japanese national team. It's hard to go back to America after the WBC is over. I love nootbaar because he has a really good personality. I'm worried that he might get hurt by being too enthusiastic about the WBC.

​@@lethalweapontom because you appreciate him and you want him to win the championship and be happy with his team mates right? 😊

@@megg734 I absolutely agree with you! I got to know the rest of the Japanese team (I only knew Nootbar and Ohtani before this WBC), as well as the Czech Republic, and it's being amazing. I'm from Spain and here people know nothing about baseball (I played it for many years thanks to South Americans who live here), I imagine it's the same in the Czech Republic, so it's impossible not to admire them, since it's not precisely easy what they've achieved. And, of course, it's impossible not to enjoy teams like Japan, where baseball is played with true passion and fantastic values. I wish you all the best 😊

@@lethalweapontom I understand what you mean, it's difficult not to be worried about that, but if he weren't with the Japanese team now he'd be in the Spring Training and he could get hurt anyway. He always plays with a lot of passion because he simply enjoys baseball. So as far as I see it, if there's always that risk, I prefer that he takes it by playing in the WBC with Japan. It's obvious that he's having so much fun, he's really happy and he has many real possibilities of winning the championship. Japan deserves it. 😊 Greetings from a Cardinal fan in Spain!

thank you!! You kind!!!

Japanese are a more evolved people.

You're right. In America, a fight would break out over the ball.

Pretty sure Japan has a rule that fans aren't allowed to keep homerun balls or foul balls for themselves and usually a staff/security member comes around to retrieve the ball. Thus they pass it to each other to take pics and then hand it over. The only exception of this rule is if the fielder intentionally tosses the ball into the crowd. Edit: apparently you can keep homerun balls nowadays but not foul balls

For real. Just makes us look worse and worse...

But guys, these people in the crowd are sick, they are passing a ball around taking pictures of it while having masks on their faces ! What is this world we're living in, people even commentating about saying it's the right way to do things. As robots maybe !

That is because unlike the Americans, their best players care more about winning for their country than for a professional club. For them the biggest achievement is to be WORLD Champions with their national team. Then their second biggest achievement is to win the MLB world series. Not the other way around. American Players only care about their professional clubs. Never about their country.

@@puyomas2 hai, anata no besuto o tsukushite kudasai 🙏🇲🇽

Not with those scary, nonsensical masks.

@@areguapiri Japanese have always wore masks (especially during flu/hay season), long before covid. Educate yourself.

From March 13th, the government has issued a notice not to wear a mask. It's an earlier game than that, so naturally everyone is wearing a mask. Because that's the rule. Japanese people always follow rules and manners. So people trust each other. That's why she can pass precious home run ball into the hands of people who don't know. "Everybody knows it's mine. They'll respect my ownership because if it were the other way around, I would too." This is the moment when the national character of being obedient to rules and manners manifests itself in a positive direction.

​@@megg734 more than half of the Japanese in yesterday's match didn't have a mask lol

@@areguapiri imagine being afraid of a mask in Japan 😂😂😂

It's a different culture altogether. But yes very polite people.

The difference in culture is on polar opposites. The Japanese care very much about "we", American only care about "me"

​​​@@sleepyheadz some of you truly have never been to Japan have you? I can point you to some videos of how polite they are especially to women...

ありがとうございます！

​@@GoGoPooerRangers You are referring to this video right? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b1XGPvbWn0A.html There will be always bad apple in every society, of course he's not referring to 100% of the people which to me is so unrealistic.

Thats mvp judge

I can feel your pain as a reds fan some days I hope a meteor hits the owners box. Not that it would hit anyone as the owner's box is as empty as the rest of the stadium

Minasian made sufficient offseason moves to strengthen the team to make one more playoff push though. Trout has said he wants to be a lifetime Angel, so he won't leave. But if the Halos goes deep in the playoffs, Ohtani might stay given how the organisation is willing to accommodate him with a 6 pitcher rotation. Few other organisation will do that, certainly not most contenders.

The Japanese media described it as a self-hit ball!🤣

His name sounds like a candy bar.

Dude his play’s been phenomenal so far. he indeed is going viral here in japan - media talks about him. everyone talks about him.

There is an interview in japan where they interviewed kids who's their favorite player right now and the number 1 is lars, 2nd is ohtani

For your information.. Japan National Team WBC Uniform sold out months before WBC started. Every single one of em

Its a crazy huge difference, the attitudes of the japanese compared to americans.

Japanese people are more evolved.

@@fujiu_jpn may not be always but at least most the time Japanese are polite. Japan is the most polite country in the world. No doubt about that. I've meet both Japanese and americans, I can attest that Japanese are polite while americans are a$$holes based on my experiences

Ohtani vs Trout

🍜

🇲🇽🤝🇯🇵

I'm Japanese but honestly, that was an easy pool. Huge respect for the Chinese, Korean, Czech, and aussy teams, it was fun to watch and looked like teams with huge potential but in development.

Puerto Rico,Venezuela, Dominican Republic , USA

@@Trump-fs8ds USA destroyed by giants spring training team and Mexico 😂. Dr destroyed by Venezuela. Japan might has an easy group, but they have destroyed and blown out every competition. So that argument doesn’t make sense. They are blowing out these “easy” teams. As they should be.

@@user-st9ov4cq4v 敢えて出さない！笑

a hanger for sure

Yeah unfortunate for the pitcher, that one pitch specifically was just hanging meatball

Good pitcher's best pitch, meet best baseball player on the planet.

🤣😂

Yeah, his best pitch was his worst pitch when he left it hanging like a personal invitation for Ohtani to blast it out of the park. We'd been waiting for an Ohtani bomb, and the Australian pitcher served it up. No longer the sheriff in town.

fr

Why?

I'm not sure about this English comment; shouldn't it be "Love Japan but I gotta appreciate the efforts by the Aussies"? By "you" do you mean the Japanese or the commenters?

@@thechikuwa284 It is your comprehension that is lacking...you is both singular and plural. In his comment it is clearly singular.

@@flamingfrancis English isn't my mother tongue. Could you please explain? If I have asked an offensive question, I will erase it.

this isnt usa....they would fight

Japanese children were raised properly.. respect, polite and conformed. Tokyo crime rate is lower than a town of 60,000 in America.

Only Américan football 🏈 remains isolated in only one country. The NFL should do something about it.

​@@CCQ75 Rest of the World has something Better. Rugby Plus American Football seems maddening considering it's inconsistent rules and referring. I wouldn't be surprised if NFL tries to influence the outcomes of American Football games with their referring.

@@HoshizakiYoshimasa I'm part of the rest of the world because I'm not from the USA, yet I prefer NFL football 🏈 better than Rugby 🏉

Thank you for saying so. Australian is polite as well.

That’s because it did

日本製のボールと、アメリカ製のボールは違います。 WBC用のボールは、アメリカ製のボールでWBCのマークが入っています。 この後、転売防止の為に回収されます。 だから記念に撮影しているのでしょう。 (引き換えに、ホームランを打った選手のサイン入りの何かの商品を貰えます。) アメリカ製のボールは、縫い目が浅くツルツルとして滑りやすく、1つ1つのボールの湿度コントロールが必要です。 一方、日本製のボールは、アメリカ製のボールとは違い、全てのボールの重量が厳重に統一されていて、日本の特許の技術で、皮の部分に特殊な技法で油脂を染み込ませているので、縫い目がアメリカ製よりも微妙に深く、湿度調節もする必要が無いので、アメリカ製のボールよりも価格が高いです。 そういう理由でホームランだとしても回収されます。 日本製のボールは、東京オリンピックに出場したアメリカの選手が、日本製のボールの作りに感動して、複数個持ち帰った様です。

lots of asian hate crimes in australia ....go watch the news

Like in 🇺🇲 too, if is an important homerun, the ball can cost millions. 😁 Thats polite also.

You guys absolutely did great game last night!!

YES !

It will come true in the not too distant future. Because he already has no enemies in Japan.

The equivalent of a batter in cricket not looking back at his stumps when they are cartwheeling into the next postcode.

Japan is better than the US, because of pitching. Japan looks like a lock to make the final so far.

Now imagine if kodai senga decided to play

Nah, Japan is just different than the rest of the group. Australia is a good underdog story but their team is just a bunch of low minor league quality players that look good against teams like China and can occasionally pull off an upset against barely above average teams like South Korea.

You're right. Only Américan football 🏈 remains isolated in only one country. The NFL should learn from the NBA and MLB and try to expand their game to the rest of the world

Probably he'll go to MLB after 2023 season.
