20:40 After receiving advice on how to throw sweeper from Bauer, Shinichi Onuki pitched 7 scoreless innings with no hits, no walks, and 6 strikeouts in a minor league game. Bauer is the perfect mentor.
About 5-10 years ago, I never thought I’d say “Trevor Bauer is one of my favorite RUclipsrs” Keep up the good work, playing in Japan has to be an absolute dream❤
Some long-winded language notes about gloves: The normal Japanese word for "glove" is 手袋 (てぶくろ/tebukuro) which uses the kanji (Chinese characters) for "hand" and "bag." But because it's a baseball glove and it's associated with foreign culture, "baseball glove" uses the English word "Glove" usually written in Katakana as "グラブ/gurabu" since Japanese doesn't have a schwa vowel sound like "love" or "the" and doesn't distinguish between Vs and Bs in foreign loan words. Google probably translated "gurabu" as "grab" rather than glove because it's closer to the actual pronunciation. Sometimes it'll be written as "グローブ/guro-bu," which google would probably translate as "globe."
I thought MLB clubs and Rob Manfred made a really stupid call on not giving Trevor a chance to return to the major, but now I am actually loving this, maybe God of baseball sent Trevor to Japan so we are so blessed to see a really talented player's life and career in both American and Japanese leagues. Love these videos and really look forward to his career in NPB as successful as in MLB
Trevor, I’m not a baseball player but you have made me an Baystar’s fan! And I’m totally digging your style and your approach towards life. I’m Japanese who grew up in the states (who now lives in Yokosuka, Kanagawa. next city to Yokohama). I teach and coach swimming at the us naval base in Yokosuka. We are both involved in different sports but I respect your professionalism. Thank you for being great ambassador from America. To me, Both USA and Japan are home county and you have made me proud of both cultures. And Japanese people loves you!
As a Japanese American, I’m so stoked that Bauer is giving this a go. Learn the language and just be a good person. That’s all you can do I’m rooting for you! 頑張ってください❗️
8:39 on “Grab” vs. “Glove”. These are what we call “Katakana Words” where we mimic the sounds of foreign words with Japanese characters. This is why words that did not originally exist in Japanese such as Tomato is トマト (To-ma-to). The interesting thing with these words is the fact that it’s based on how they interpreted it back then, which results in interesting cases like the word “White” in English being ホワイト (Ho-wa-i-to) because whomever heard that word back in the days heard it that way. It’s a similar case for the word “Glove”. This word was commonly pronounced/written as グローブ (Gu-ro-o-bu) initially. However, in 1998 the NHK Pronunciation Accent Dictionary, which most TV broadcasters base their pronunciation, decided to use グラブ (Gu-ra-bu) as their interpretation of the English word “Glove”. To adapt to this most manufacturers now use the word グラブ instead, but since the Japanese pronunciation of グラブ sounds more like “Grab” than “Glove”, you encounter this slight difference in translation.
@@BillCherno86 There is a Japanese word for glove (手袋, Tebukuro, literally "hand bag" lmao), but the loan word グローブ is more commonly used. The reason why these loan words (外来語, Gairaigo) exist was historically for things or words that simply did not exist in Japanese ("Pan" (bread) from Portuguese is a good example), and is now more commonly used to be fashionable or who knows why, even most Japanese could not explain why certain loanwords are used.
I stopped watching Bauer as his content just kinda wasn’t interesting me for a while, but once he started going to Japan, a foreign culture that I’m not aware of, I got hooked right back in
he could end up being the Stephon Marbury for Japanese baseball (for those that don't know Stephon Marbury was NBA player who went over seas and played in china and was a bigger celeb in china than he ever was in the states)
I watched the game today. He got hit today, but the season is still long. Please keep up the good work! As a Japanese, I was happy that Bauer came to Japan.I am rooting for you !!!!
In my opinion, the vlog is way better now than it was while he was in the MLB. I loved the blog before but now I get to learn about Japan, Japanese baseball, see the differences, see the excitement of the fans and other players. This is great!
Everything with him is better than before. He doesn't have a grudge against his employer. I mean there might be other vloggers but he does show us way more of different culture then we would ever see
Ive never seen a pitcher who works so hard to perfect his craft. Amazing honesty when he isnt 100%, just sees ways to improve. Loved the video brother, i cheered at the end of it. From your fans in Toronto Ontario Canada!!
The coolest portion of this video was teaching your teammate how to improve his sweeper, absolutely loved that! Just show much you love the game and care about the performance of everyone around you!
I don't buy into the extreme analytics so much but, holy cow! It's interesting hearing him break things down like this. I almost feel like I understand what he's talking about. lol
Having lived in Yokohama for a few years and spending a lot of time in the Minato Mirai area, watching this brings so much nostalgia! Great to watch Trevor play in Japan, as an NPB follower this is the best thing to ever happen!
Do you still live in Japan or somewhere else now? As an American, Japan looks really appealing in a lot of ways so I'm always curious about people's experience that have lived both in Japan and somewhere else.
@@dsher503 still in Japan but in a different city now - other than the work culture here it’s pretty fun to live here as long as you respect the culture and boundaries!
how crazy watching el gran Elvis Escobar of cardenales de Lara in Venezuela my hometown's team favourite pitcher with my favourite pitcher from the US in my favourite team in Japan,AMAZING!!!!
I love how Mr. Bauer has meshed with his teammates, coaching staff, etc. He appears genuinely happy to be in Japan, which is not always the case with foreign players who have moved to NPB. Some foreign players go to Japan and never integrate themselves with their teammates or even make an attempt to enjoy the local culture. They make a bubble about themselves rejecting any Japanese influence, and by and large, appear miserable or at least disinterested while playing there. After watching all of Mr. Bauer's Japan videos, I am very impressed about how he and his agent have gone above and beyond trying to integrate themselves into the entire experience, not only the hard work and dedication required to be a professional player (training, culture integration, and voluntary fan interactions), but also their videos showing them out and about in Yokohama and Tokyo. Mr. Bauer's critique of the sporting goods store was especially interesting. There were two moments in previous videos that really stuck out to me. First, Mr. Bauer gave a shout-out to a US Navy sailor who was close to transferring back stateside whom he met (meant a lot to me because I served in the US Navy at Yokosuka Naval Base from 1995-2005). Second, a young boy traveled with his father all the way from the states to see Mr. Bauer play. Mr. Bauer actually came out of the team facility to meet the boy and speak with him. Both examples show class! I wish you great success on and off field and I hope you enjoy your time in Japan.
Even though I don’t play anymore or even watch many mlb games, I really enjoy listening to Trevor breaking down pitch mechanics and going through all the metrics and what they reflect.
Cool seeing him give Ohnuki some input on his Slider and/or Sweeper. Always love to see somebody being a good teammate, and also demonstrating his knowledge and passion for pitching.
Congratulations on your successful NPBL debut, TB...you've made every post a winner. From helping your team mates with their technique, embracing Japanese culture to absolutely shoving!! I could not be happier for you, well done
I watched the full game and the energy the crowd brings to these games is so amazing. You had a great first outing for the Baystars and can't wait to see your next start.
Congratulations Trevor on your first start and first win - I watched and you pitched great and your bunt gave your team the go ahead run - overall an outstanding performance - this video was very entertaining and insightful, thank you! GO TREVOR SAN GO!!!! GO YOKOHAMA GO!!!!
It's a good thing but also odd. He seems to be the happiest I've ever seen him. He has all the cards stacked against him but he's getting a chance to do what he loves. Guess he grew up some. I've liked em all along
This video will make a big impact on Japanese young NPB pitchers. This give us big lesson and how to analyze pitching mechanics. I’ve never watched such a sophisticated video. I hope young boys will choose to play baseball and it contributes to NPB future Trever Bauer hopes,too.
Trevor, bro, I got tears watching this I'm in my early 40s & I've followed your journey close since your first season pitching for UCLA. I will never forget your dirty sweat stained faded dashboard hats haha Thanks for always standing up for everything that you believe in & for always appreciating your chances. That is a very rare thing these days. Thanks for helping some of us baseball freaks get through the whole co(n)vid lockdown tyranny we faced, but most importantly thanks for sharing your journies & knowledge. So happy seeing you being appreciated by hardcore fans. Thanks, Japanese fans, for giving Trevor the appreciation he deserves
Hey Trevor! I randomly ran into you at an Southwest gate last year, I was wearing an Astros Space City hat. So random I had just caught up on your youtube videos. Really happy to see ya pitch again.
I watched Trevor's Japanese debut game on May 3rd on BS TV, so I really enjoyed this video. The Japanese translation subtitles appear with a bit of a delay, but after changing the device, the symptoms improved. I'm looking forward to next one.
I'll be liking every video and commenting on them as well from now going forward. Trevor has easily become my favorite ball player over the past few years, and he's actually getting me interested in baseball again. I haven't watched in over 10 years, but I can't wait to watch his future starts with the BayStars!
The session with your teammate is just genius. So crazy that you know what to look for, how to adjust it and the technique to do so. You said you want to give kids an inspiration to play ball, you’re living up to it. You’re a stud bro. Happy to have you a part of the game.
It gets better if you look up that teammates recent start in the minors, 7 IP, no hits, no walks, 6 Ks. Idk how much he was able to implement Trevor's instruction, but he definitely got either motivation or technique out of it for sure
Loving the glove reviews! I understand the sentimental value you’ve assigned to the wagyu JB. We as fans of your channel feel the same! You need to show the reaction from the lucky fan who receives that orange glove!
When talking about Japanese glove brands Wagyu JB (and Katana) rarely comes up so it's a nice thing a foreign player is actually giving them a try instead of bringing over a Rawlings, a Wilson, or a 44 (although 44 is pretty cool too).
To be precise, "Yokohama shika katan" would be "The only winner here is Yokohama" or "Only Yokohama wins". Your wealth of knowledge will be well utilized at Baystars. I do hope you will stay on for a while, but even if it's just this year, you will be leaving a great legacy there.
You make some of my favourite content right now, always look forward to ur next upload. Loved seeing how you helped your teammate with his slider was so incredibly insightful.
Great job, that was a solid game!! I only got to watch the first three innings on the stream because that is all they gave us, but it was awesome to get to see you play!! On a side note, seeing Eric's reaction to your bunt was laugh out loud funny! 🙂
This RUclips channel is one of my favorites. I love baseball, and my favorite pitch type is the screwball, & knuckleball and it's a shame this pitch is dying from baseball, I think Trevor Bower should be the one to bring it back
Trevor always hit the mound with energy, and bring so many great contents to the fans, no matter what league he’s playing in. That’s why he’s my favorite player.
Hey Trevor. Love your content and congrats on your big league win. Been amazing watching you adjust to diff lifestyle and your usual in-depth sharing of the game. I’ve been super surprised on the stadium / fan experience, big thank you for sharing that with us too!
Awesome job. Got into your stuff from Eric’s channel and instantly became a fan. Keep up the good work. I’m now starting to save a lot of money to go out and watch you pitch. Really glad to see a star pitcher play again.
This is what baseball needs. I’m a high school coach in a very small community in Idaho. Kendrick High School. I played in college and understand hitting and defense very well, but these blogs are amazing for understanding some of the metrics in pitching, and the work that goes into being ready at a high level. Thank you for this and I will continue watching
trev is such a great teacher he tells you what you need to do and you have fun learning from him im so happy that my passion for baseball has been worked through by someone willing to share his secrets to success
Okuni, the minors pitcher he was working on axis of rotation apparently just pitched a really good game in the minors. Idk how much of Trevor's instruction he was able to implement in the short time, but it looks like he definitely got something, either motivation or new technique that really helped him in his start!
Trevor Bauer needs to be a MLB pitching coach when he retires. He is so analytical it's awesome. He does more.for the game of baseball than any other human being! Love ya man! Keep killing it! Free Trevor Bauer now! Lift small bunt the ball😂
One thing I love and you never hear coaches talk about on pitches is finger pressure. It was something I figured out early in my playing career. People kept asking how my ball moved like that. I realized the ball did different things by which figure i used more pressure with. Younger players don’t hear any of that and it would make a huge difference in these pitchers careers
I'm from Huntington Beach and been to many Angels games, plus LB State Dirtgabags, so it's cool to see kind of a local (UCLA) in Japan. I love how you show the insider perspective that most people don't get to see, even in America.
It’s mind blowing to me why ur not in the mlb right now. Grew up in NYS and have been a Yankee fan for 30 years. But still have always followed your career. You’re one of my favorite players. I’m glad you are still pitching. It’s what you were meant to do bro.
Choice. His contract with the Dodgers had a clause where if he played for another team he's lose $22M. So, he went to Japan for 1yr (for $4M), thus ensuring he gets the $22M, plus the $4M from the 1yr contract, and also cross out a bucket-list item by playing in Japan. He'll be back in the MLB after this (assuming a team wants to sign him). All-in-all, smart move on his part.
thank god for youtube, hope its keeping you connected to all the US fans but great to see you having a blast over there and making the best of this situation.
i was able to catch his debut game, all the fans loved him, the last ab vs the pinch hitter was SO GOOD. All you could hear was "Bauer!" chant over and over.
Yes!!! Awesomeness!! Loved the interview in the stands and your RUclipsr answer. I grew up in a small town 5hrs away from nearest MLB team. Could never dream of having access like this or even meeting a player. And at best an autograph. You taking us along with you is very important and I love it.
The irony of Yamasaki's gift and the US media trying to cause controversy about the celebration. Japanese baseball is all about the love for the game while the US is all about pointless drama.
the US media is stupid, full of liars, corrupt and reports to one political party . If the MSM says it's raining today, Im going out in shorts and sandals..
@@njyaj09 Trevor showed his sword celebration from his last minor league appearance but he did not show one from his first major league start - he only does the sword celebration for check swing strike outs only - he does not do the sword celebration for all strike outs
I think we can all agree that this page is the best vlog series out of any sports vlog platform. Baseball has so much down time and Trevor takes advantage of the down time to teach. Him being a player and myself being somone that works on the other side producing live sports/entertainment tv. People don’t realize the day to day we go through. I created a series teaching everyone about the broadcast side of sports and I love seeing Trevor take advantage of the down time he has to teach a day in the life. Also I will stick to the media getting access to the locker rooms in America. Not sure why Japan doesn’t do that either. Maybe because of the dirt/shoe rule Trevor talked about! What Trevor is making is better tv then any other sports program in the world. Thank you Trevor, miss seeing you walk around dodger stadium with you.
Brother I appreciate what you do with these youtube videos. The insights from when you where in the states to now in Japan from the club house, different stadiums, to how everything works being a professional ball play. But the best thing you do is showing the insights on training and how to be a better pitcher. If I had this type of insights to when I was in high school no telling how I would have ended up. I went and played in college but couldn't stay healthy. The things you are doing on here I hope kids or parents are watching.
@Trevor Bauer your RUclips has literally brought me back to baseball n the love of the most beautiful game. You make baseball so awesome 👌. Keep it up and keep inspiring. 💪
Trevor I love this for you I was a big fan before the bs through the bs and still after, and I love how you continue to keep us at home that don’t have the opportunity to always watch baseball in the game. Much love and thank you ❤
Thank you so much for giving us this look into you’re life and all of this invaluable information. I played college ball and now coach little league and we love you man!!!
Your doing a great job Trevor and you look relaxed and happy in Japan. Show the world what you've got my man. You are a phenomenal pitcher. By the way that bunt looked great. You've got it down to an art.
I’m Japanese living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I follow MLB with the MLB app and NPB on RUclips. I really enjoy watching your videos on Japan because they show my country from a totally different viewpoint. About glove and grab, you might’ve noticed by now, but most Japanese cannot hear the difference between L and R. Lice and Rice are the same, and if a Japanese start talking about Erection with a serious face, he/she is most likely talking about Election…😂

Couldn’t agree more. So cool to get an inside look at Japanese baseball

Hey Trevor! I randomly ran into you at an Southwest gate last year, I was wearing an Astros Space City hat. So random I had just caught up on your youtube videos. Really happy to see ya pitch again.
I love that Trevor helps another pitcher to throw another pitch. That's great.
Trevor, you are a great player and a great statesman. It's wonderful to see how welcoming and friendly Japan is. I'm very happy for you.
I watched Trevor's Japanese debut game on May 3rd on BS TV, so I really enjoyed this video. The Japanese translation subtitles appear with a bit of a delay, but after changing the device, the symptoms improved. I'm looking forward to next one.
I'll be liking every video and commenting on them as well from now going forward. Trevor has easily become my favorite ball player over the past few years, and he's actually getting me interested in baseball again. I haven't watched in over 10 years, but I can't wait to watch his future starts with the BayStars!
The session with your teammate is just genius. So crazy that you know what to look for, how to adjust it and the technique to do so. You said you want to give kids an inspiration to play ball, you’re living up to it. You’re a stud bro. Happy to have you a part of the game.
It gets better if you look up that teammates recent start in the minors, 7 IP, no hits, no walks, 6 Ks.
Idk how much he was able to implement Trevor's instruction, but he definitely got either motivation or technique out of it for sure
Loving the glove reviews! I understand the sentimental value you’ve assigned to the wagyu JB. We as fans of your channel feel the same! You need to show the reaction from the lucky fan who receives that orange glove!
When talking about Japanese glove brands Wagyu JB (and Katana) rarely comes up so it's a nice thing a foreign player is actually giving them a try instead of bringing over a Rawlings, a Wilson, or a 44 (although 44 is pretty cool too).

日本の野球にたいして真剣に取り組んでるのが伝わってきて嬉しい
他球団ファンだけど応援します
To be precise, "Yokohama shika katan" would be "The only winner here is Yokohama" or "Only Yokohama wins".
Your wealth of knowledge will be well utilized at Baystars. I do hope you will stay on for a while, but even if it's just this year, you will be leaving a great legacy there.
These videos are what makes me keep going throughout the week
You need to get a better life then

You didn’t even watch the video before posting this😭
You make some of my favourite content right now, always look forward to ur next upload. Loved seeing how you helped your teammate with his slider was so incredibly insightful.
The NPB is perfect for you and I wish you much success on and off the field.
Great job, that was a solid game!! I only got to watch the first three innings on the stream because that is all they gave us, but it was awesome to get to see you play!! On a side note, seeing Eric's reaction to your bunt was laugh out loud funny! 🙂
This RUclips channel is one of my favorites. I love baseball, and my favorite pitch type is the screwball, & knuckleball and it's a shame this pitch is dying from baseball, I think Trevor Bower should be the one to bring it back
Trevor always hit the mound with energy, and bring so many great contents to the fans, no matter what league he’s playing in. That’s why he’s my favorite player.

When I tell you what, watching these videos just give me a warm feeling. I love these vlogs
Hey Trevor. Love your content and congrats on your big league win. Been amazing watching you adjust to diff lifestyle and your usual in-depth sharing of the game. I’ve been super surprised on the stadium / fan experience, big thank you for sharing that with us too!
This is far and beyond the best content on RUclips right now
thanks for coming to JPN! we really appreciate it! hope you the best of luck!:)
Awesome job. Got into your stuff from Eric’s channel and instantly became a fan. Keep up the good work. I’m now starting to save a lot of money to go out and watch you pitch. Really glad to see a star pitcher play again.
This is what baseball needs. I’m a high school coach in a very small community in Idaho. Kendrick High School. I played in college and understand hitting and defense very well, but these blogs are amazing for understanding some of the metrics in pitching, and the work that goes into being ready at a high level. Thank you for this and I will continue watching
This is absolutely amazing, so much fun watching….thanks Trevor keep crushing it!
trev is such a great teacher he tells you what you need to do and you have fun learning from him im so happy that my passion for baseball has been worked through by someone willing to share his secrets to success
Okuni, the minors pitcher he was working on axis of rotation apparently just pitched a really good game in the minors.
Idk how much of Trevor's instruction he was able to implement in the short time, but it looks like he definitely got something, either motivation or new technique that really helped him in his start!
You can tell Bauer loves it in Japan…deserves all the love
Congrats Trevor. Love watching you succeed. Hate that no team would sign you here in the states but that’s their loss. Keep up the hard work.
Trevor Bauer needs to be a MLB pitching coach when he retires. He is so analytical it's awesome. He does more.for the game of baseball than any other human being! Love ya man! Keep killing it! Free Trevor Bauer now! Lift small bunt the ball😂
Real Trevor Bauer would message me.. fake Trevor Bauer pass
One thing I love and you never hear coaches talk about on pitches is finger pressure. It was something I figured out early in my playing career. People kept asking how my ball moved like that. I realized the ball did different things by which figure i used more pressure with.
Younger players don’t hear any of that and it would make a huge difference in these pitchers careers
I'm from Huntington Beach and been to many Angels games, plus LB State Dirtgabags, so it's cool to see kind of a local (UCLA) in Japan. I love how you show the insider perspective that most people don't get to see, even in America.
I believe your strength is flexibility in thinking and you can adjust NPB.
I wish your success and cheer you up.
Put forth your strength!
FYI. May 9th game vs Tokyo Giants at Niigata is also a good game to make an impression as Niigata is where the DeNA Group President is from.
It’s mind blowing to me why ur not in the mlb right now. Grew up in NYS and have been a Yankee fan for 30 years. But still have always followed your career. You’re one of my favorite players. I’m glad you are still pitching. It’s what you were meant to do bro.
Choice. His contract with the Dodgers had a clause where if he played for another team he's lose $22M. So, he went to Japan for 1yr (for $4M), thus ensuring he gets the $22M, plus the $4M from the 1yr contract, and also cross out a bucket-list item by playing in Japan. He'll be back in the MLB after this (assuming a team wants to sign him). All-in-all, smart move on his part.
thank god for youtube, hope its keeping you connected to all the US fans but great to see you having a blast over there and making the best of this situation.
i was able to catch his debut game, all the fans loved him, the last ab vs the pinch hitter was SO GOOD. All you could hear was "Bauer!" chant over and over.
Yes!!! Awesomeness!! Loved the interview in the stands and your RUclipsr answer. I grew up in a small town 5hrs away from nearest MLB team. Could never dream of having access like this or even meeting a player. And at best an autograph. You taking us along with you is very important and I love it.
The irony of Yamasaki's gift and the US media trying to cause controversy about the celebration. Japanese baseball is all about the love for the game while the US is all about pointless drama.
Agreed.
Did he do the celly in his first game?
@njyaj09 Yeah it was in this video.
the US media is stupid, full of liars, corrupt and reports to one political party . If the MSM says it's raining today, Im going out in shorts and sandals..
@@njyaj09 Trevor showed his sword celebration from his last minor league appearance but he did not show one from his first major league start - he only does the sword celebration for check swing strike outs only - he does not do the sword celebration for all strike outs
Great first game in the big leagues! Keep it up this week!!!
I think we can all agree that this page is the best vlog series out of any sports vlog platform. Baseball has so much down time and Trevor takes advantage of the down time to teach. Him being a player and myself being somone that works on the other side producing live sports/entertainment tv. People don’t realize the day to day we go through. I created a series teaching everyone about the broadcast side of sports and I love seeing Trevor take advantage of the down time he has to teach a day in the life. Also I will stick to the media getting access to the locker rooms in America. Not sure why Japan doesn’t do that either. Maybe because of the dirt/shoe rule Trevor talked about! What Trevor is making is better tv then any other sports program in the world. Thank you Trevor, miss seeing you walk around dodger stadium with you.
Definitely enjoy watching the channel, thank you for making baseball fun again Trevor.
Brother I appreciate what you do with these youtube videos. The insights from when you where in the states to now in Japan from the club house, different stadiums, to how everything works being a professional ball play. But the best thing you do is showing the insights on training and how to be a better pitcher. If I had this type of insights to when I was in high school no telling how I would have ended up. I went and played in college but couldn't stay healthy. The things you are doing on here I hope kids or parents are watching.
@Trevor Bauer your RUclips has literally brought me back to baseball n the love of the most beautiful game. You make baseball so awesome 👌. Keep it up and keep inspiring. 💪
Trevor I love this for you I was a big fan before the bs through the bs and still after, and I love how you continue to keep us at home that don’t have the opportunity to always watch baseball in the game. Much love and thank you ❤
The mlb needs Bauer back glad he likes Japan
Thank you so much for giving us this look into you’re life and all of this invaluable information. I played college ball and now coach little league and we love you man!!!
Your doing a great job Trevor and you look relaxed and happy in Japan. Show the world what you've got my man. You are a phenomenal pitcher. By the way that bunt looked great. You've got it down to an art.
everything about baseball there seems like a whole vibe, they have so much more fun with it than here in the states.
May your success in Japan continue. Seeing you navigate a new culture reminds me of my efforts when I first met Japan. Ganbatte!
Man I like the way he explains how he thinks when he pitch. So nice to see😊
I’m Japanese living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I follow MLB with the MLB app and NPB on RUclips. I really enjoy watching your videos on Japan because they show my country from a totally different viewpoint. About glove and grab, you might’ve noticed by now, but most Japanese cannot hear the difference between L and R. Lice and Rice are the same, and if a Japanese start talking about Erection with a serious face, he/she is most likely talking about Election…😂
Not a baseball watcher but really enjoying following along with your journey. Best of luck!
