I like the glove to be a little loose, |
Because I love baseball. That is the No. 1 motivation. What I do is just come here to perform. |
Everyone got a chance to make contact with the ball and we are feeling the groove now. I'm the only one not quite feeling it yet. |
For me, rather than keeping something inside, it's better to get things out in the open. Now that things are out in the open, I feel really good right now, ready for the next season. |
I actually welcome boos as part of the game. I really love to see that from my opponent's fans. Last night, I think that those fans didn't boo hard enough. |
I am really proud that I am one of the two major league players to play in the final game. I do think that I have the Japanese flag on my shoulder. |
I didn't even think about the upcoming season. I didn't care if I would get injured in this game. That's how much I wanted to win this game. That's how driven we were for this championship. |
I don't know any of their names. The fact that they've come this far shows that they're a team with serious potential. I'm looking forward to (seeing) where these players will go in the future. |
I don't know what to compare that to. It's for sure each team has something in mind about the other. It's an honor and a pleasure to play a game against them. |
I don't know what to expect. I don't know many of their names. But the fact that they've come this far says a lot about them. |
I feel ashamed of this defeat. |
I feel really proud I'm one of only two to be playing in the final. I sense Major League Baseball is hurting a little bit. |
I feel really proud that I'm the only one of two Major League Baseball players to play in the final game. Of course, I sense that MLB is hurting a little bit. |
I felt the spirit and smartness of the Japanese players while playing with this team. It was a great team and I wish I could play major league games with this team for one season. |
I heard that in the United States the level of baseball was the highest in the world. So it was only natural that I would want to go there, as a baseball player. |
