People need to stop bashing Lars Nootbar just because he played on the Japanese team. He's half Japanese and American. You can't be bitter over the results... Cause the Japanese team was just crazy good this time. It was a win for the sport of baseball. A great game.
imo it was good for the sport of baseball to have Lars play on the Japanese team, he was able to speak about the different perspectives between the Japanese and American teams in his interviews and bring more fans into the strategies involved.
As a cards fan it is amazing to see Lars in this spotlight. Cards fans know the energy he brings every game and to see him on this stage is simply awesome.
Lars was recently featured in a protein bar commercial in Japan. Currently, very popular in japan. Lars has also appeared in commercials for eyeglass manufacturers.
I mean no disrespect or anything, just genuinely curious, are the japanese getting a bit taller? Maybe a dumb question and it might just be because of social media but i feel like theres a lot more tall japanese athletes now than there has been in the past.
@ThorkageMOB 12% Well, all the East Asians are getting A LOT taller since they're no longer malnourished like when their countries are still poor. The height of people directly correlates to their quality of life. This is something economists have known and cited for years.
I've noticed that too. By American standards I'd say Ippei is like "average tall." But pretty much everyone looks short standing next to 6'4" Ohtani because that's quite taller than average, and he's very broad shouldered too, so he appears even larger I think. I'm barely 5 ft, imagine all the stuff that man could reach for me on high shelves!! hahaha My ex hubs was 6'1" and the runt of his fam, w/a bro 6'4", a dad 6'3" and a sis 6'. He didn't like it! Worked fine for me tho. lol 😋 God bless tall men, esp in the grocery store aisle. I always need help! 😄😉 (PS Short men are cute too.)
As a one of Japanese Baseball fan,It's a real honor to be able to see the game against the United States🇺🇸, which is the country where baseball was born and at the same time has the best league in the world. Baseball was introduced to Japan 150 years ago. And tomorrow, team Japan challenge to "Sensei" country. This is a moment that makes you feel the history of baseball and the splendor of sports🇺🇸🇯🇵
Yep Ohtani is 6'4" so not the biggest man in MLB but he's up there. Also a big, sturdy guy. Not a string bean. Even other big players have said how huge he is. I forget which one said the words but they made me chuckle: "Shohei is a very large human." 🤣🤣🤣
@@kingdingaling2469 I know that?? You said it yourself, ohtani doesn't need Ippei there, but he's his friend and a good dude so I don't think he'd ignore Lars, a non Japanese speaker to just
According to some news reports Ippei also apparently collects players statistical data. He must had helped Shohei collect all those statistical files that Shohei studied to improve his pitcing and batting on the first few years in MLB
@@pial3270 According to an NHK Japan documentary, Shohei never used to "study" the stats of the players until a few years ago. He's got thick binders full of players stats that Ippei carries around. Reportedly, Shohei's dad is real proud of him considering he was pretty bad as a kid in regards to his pitching, as he was always worried he'd hit one of the other kids by accident. His father admitted his wife (Shohei's mom) doesn't watch when he pitches to this day, so it's incredible now how far he's come.
Ippei is really good. Shohei speaks in a very Japanese way (almost excessively polite with indirect expressions - suitable for Japanese audience) and Ippei does not need 3 seconds to pick up the core information from Shohei's words and compose a whole new sentence that sounds more natural to the US audience. Not easy to do with that speed...!
They came to play and their fans showed their support. We had home field advantage and came up short. Watch their games on their home field those fans we’re chanting. You couldn’t tell this was the championship game you could barely hear any USA chants. We need to get louder and support our players that made it to the finals. We’ll get em next time.
Lars is not a Japanese athlete as he was born in the U.S. Everybody talks about how much of an impact he makes on the team when he can't even speak Japanese.
Ohtani is the best baseball player of my generation. Too bad he is on the crappy Angel’s. Hopefully he gets a chance to play on a real contender team in his prime.
I know this comment is old, but I'm not sure why Japanese people think Americans don't respect them. Japanese people are one of the most respected people in America, to the point where it has become a joke that people think something is better because it's Japanese
The reason why Yoshida is not here is because he is a type of guy who is not talkative and not good with interview so he probably asked Nootbaar or Ohtani to go for interview on behalf of him.
Ad Narrator Voice: "whether it's a morning walk or a 9 inning baseball game, with 25 grams of protein and only 30 calories each, ALWAYS grab a Lars Nootbar and recharge ur battery!"
i never heard of lars nootbar and when i heard him talk i was like thats the most American sounding Japanese dude with a dutch name i have ever heard. but he is American. so that’s my cool story.
If Shohei and Ohtani have another crappy season with the angels they need to get outta there and have some potential chance another team in the World Series.
Trade Noot right now to LAA for Reid Detmers, Zach Neto, Ky Bush and Ben Joyce... keep Reid and Joyce. Package Neto and Bush with Libby and Burlson and bring in Dylan Cease. Boom taking advantage of 2 bad front offices
Why doesn't the American media report on fraud? At the press conference, Kuriyama complained about the rule change during the WBC. Joinother participating nations in calling for a protest against MLB.
Linsanity was overhyped for awhile but shotime is still underrated. And it is insane to say that cus he has so much coverage but no one is giving him the runaway hall of fame card
No he doesnt... although his mom is a japanese native and his American dad even speaks Japanese.... i dont understand why they didnt give him a special gift of being a bilingual.... we Japanese still love him tho!!!
In wbc, you can choose the nationality of your parents to compete even if your own nationality is different. In Lars, his mother is Japanese and has Japanese nationality. He has wanted to play for Japan since he was a child because of his acquaintances and contacts in the Japanese baseball world. He loves the U.S. as much as he loves Japan.
@Ccccccc If I played Major league baseball in Japan for multiple years and was a star i would. :) He plays in the USA and is surrounded by the language.
He can speak English with other players (Like Noot) just fine. In fact he's super talkative and friendly. Its only during the interviews that he uses an interpreter, probably because he's self-conscious and he wants to be precise.
@@RickB.rolling Almost no American speaks Japanese in five or so years. American players playing in Japan have never spoken Japanese fluently enough to answer interviews, even those who had played longer than five years.

So my statement isnt funny its practical and respectful of the culture you work in for 9 months out of the yr.

Ohtani is a specialist in baseball, it's rather ridiculous that you think he would be able to speak English fluently in 5 or so years. He does seem to understand much of what is being said, though. Give him another couple of years, it'll come.
As a diehard St. Louis Cardinals, fan and a proud American, it saddens me to see American born baseball players play for other countries.

This is common in other sports for dual national athletes to play for their other country.

Heightwise, Ippei is like Matt Damon to Ohtani's Ben Affleck. When you see him next to Ohtani, you think he's short, but he's actually pretty tall.
Yeah, I was quite surprised when I saw him in person too. I'm like a smidge under 6 ft tall and Ippei could easily be like 2 inches taller than me.

8ヶ月前のコメントにコメントするのは大変恐縮です🙏💭💗。
ラーズ・ヌートバーの母親は「上2人は日本で出産したが、上2人の子供を連れて大きなお腹を抱えて帰国するのは困難だったので、諦めてアメリカで出産したのでとても大変だった」と語っていました。
実はWBC前にNPBがMLBに調査依頼した結果、50人程の日系の選手が居た事が判明していました。
しかし、アジア系以外との混血選手の多くは、外見からは日本人のDNAが彼らに存在しているとは思えない程のアメリカ人の容姿になっている人が殆どなのが判明しています。
それはおそらく、唯一アジアでは日本人だけが他のアジア人とは大きくかけ離れた世界では6%しか居ないと言う特殊なDNAを持っている事が関係しているのかも知れません。
ラーズ・ヌートバー選手も(お母様が日本人なのに)分かりにくい選手のその1人でした。
彼の母親が国籍を変えずに日本国籍のままだった事が助けとなりました。
日本チームを助けて頂いたラーズ・ヌートバー選手とお母様に感謝致しています。
