00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 3>of work to do, but again, really excited to be

33
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, part of the Dodgers and play in front

34
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 3>of these fans.

35
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And the Dodgers are going to start the season at

36
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the Tokyo Dome, a place you're very familiar with. How

37
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>excited are you about that opportunity to wear a Dodger

38
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 1>uniform and play in Tokyo?

39
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Excited? Shall we cut it? You don't need.

40
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 3>You know, you don't really get an opportunity like this

41
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 3>to play in front of the fans, uh with two teams,

42
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 3>the Dodgers in the Cubs and obviously is there as well,

43
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 3>and you know other Japanese players too, So really excited

44
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 3>to be able to you know, play and hopefully we

45
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 3>win a couple of games and make sure that the

46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 3>fans come out of that thinking Dodge of Blue show.

47
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Hey was around me for a year, so he knows

48
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm very awkward and really uh socially, uh sometimes clumsy.

49
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any tips for me to handle myself

50
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in Tokyo, Japan? So I don't embarrass your name, my

51
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>name or the Dodger's name.

52
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>You nothing in particular, but I think one good thing

53
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 3>to do is to just remember a few Japanese phrases

54
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 3>and they would very much love that.

55
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Can you give me one? Okay?

56
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Right now?

57
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>How about right now? Now?

58
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 1>How about let's start. Let's start with this show? Hey, bathroom, bathroom? Yeah,

59
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.039

62
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a show hey jersey and new balanced shoes, do you

63
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>think they might confuse.

64
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 3>Us on the uniform. I'm sure they'll be excited to

65
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 3>see you sow. Hey.

66
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Before I let you go, one more baseball question. I've

67
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 1>told people I am anticipating the night that you pitch

68
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>for the first time at Dodgers Stadium. I don't believe

69
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be just another baseball game. It will

70
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 1>be a bigger event than what we've seen. Have you

71
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>visualized that moment being on the mound at Dodger Stadium

72
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>as wearing this.

73
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Uniform mounting to I'm not get fun. So you made it,

74
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, White Mosca, I get a definitely imagine myself

75
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 3>pitching on the mound. Now. I'm not exactly sure what

76
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 3>when that's gonna happen, but I'm gonna do the best

77
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 3>I can to make it as early as possible.

78
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Since we know each other a little bit better. Now,

79
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>if you need me, I'm almost the same height as

80
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Manny Machado. If you need me to stand in for

81
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 1>a bullpen just to help you get ready, let me know.

82
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, right there for you. Okay, thank you man.

86
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.920

95
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 3>of course I wanted him to be a Dodger, but

96
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 3>first and foremost as a person, as a player, just

97
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 3>really rooting for him to be successful.
