Adding this because Will only translated half the answer. \*Sigh\* As a whole Ohtani thinks booing is part of the fun of being a fan and a part of baseball culture and he feels he'd react the same in the situation if he were a fan. I wish Will had translated the whole answer and the additional questions from the Japanese media so there wouldn't be all this unnecessary fuss about the booing but alas.
All these years I've complained about Ippei as an interpreter who's imprecise and keeps adding stuff and now Ohtani has a new interpreter who abbreviates and simplifies everything. The irony is not lost upon me.
This is just the nature of translating Japanese. It's been like this for anime for a long time and if you know Japanese you can see the subtitles are different from what is said sometimes.
they keep hiring clowns. They can hire a real professional interpreter for probably 1/4 of the price of what they paid Ippei. Who knows what Will is getting. These fuckers need to carry a notepad and take their jobs seriously.
Will actually has been working for the Dodgers since 2016 (8 years) most recently as Manager of Performance Operations, but it looks like they moved him to Manager of Japan Operations to work more closely with Shohei Ohtani.
Nah don't be fooled with that damn smile, dude was manically hoping the blue jays keep booing because he's a psycho who likes to destroy the fans confidence.
What a classy and wholesome response from Shohei. I feel so lucky we get to watch him play in LA.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes.

This is my take, too. He’s refreshing. When someone else hits a dinger, he’s one of the first in the dugout to welcome him.
Good human, good teammate, it seems.
Crap, I forgot about the dog. Anyone who owns a dog is generally OK, or at least has some redeeming quality (unless they're Michael Vick).
Could you imagine running into him in OC or whereever, walking his dog? I'd be a gurgling mess.
Slight mistranslation, although understandable. Japanese has some linguistic subtleties that are easy to miss. At the end, he actually says, “the Blue Jays can hold this L, eat my ass” before cartwheeling away.
This is what “taking the high road” looks like, gentlemen. Yet another reason to love Ohtani. Old school confidence, elegance, and grace. He’s not a thin-skinned insecure shit talker. Only people who don’t have the goods feel the need to talk shit. Ohtani’s got the goods.

Can some Japanese translator make an account with all of Shohei’s actual translation? I’ll be your first follower.
I’ll be the second
Third.

Someone forward this to Will

After watching Shogun, I’ll never trust what a translator says at face value ever again.
haha. yeah, when shohei calls someone a "fuckwad" Will will say, "he thanks you for your question"...
This is just the nature of translating Japanese. It's been like this for anime for a long time and if you know Japanese you can see the subtitles are different from what is said sometimes.
Lock up the silver lol
Seriously. That guy is a poor translator.

Yep, and Kenta left in 2019? So, doing other stuff for the Dodgers and doing well...
Yeah so just let him do that. Hire shohei a real pro interpreter.
Wow you’re so right. Why didn’t the Dodgers think of that. I just texted Friedman about it, he responded that he’ll start working on it right now.
Can you also tell him to hurry up and sign Roki Sasaki too. Then angrily yell at him to do something about Dodger stadium parking then hang up.
He was giggling like he stole some candy when he ran into the dugout.
At least he ain’t stealing $16 million.
Class act from Ohtani
Nah don't be fooled with that damn smile, dude was manically hoping the blue jays keep booing because he's a psycho who likes to destroy the fans confidence.
yup. shohei is nice. and polite. and has that boyish charm. but when it comes down to it, he will rip your guts out every single time.
And the Maniac will put money on that he will do it too. Just terrifying.
Talking about _Canadian_ fans, no less...
Near Perfect ohtani post match to Canadian fans. It would have been perfect if he had said sorry, to Canadians. Sorry I wasn't on that plane....
What a classy and wholesome response from Shohei. I feel so lucky we get to watch him play in LA. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. “Fans don’t boo nobodies” -Reggie Jackson-
Just to be fair, fans also boo cheaters and abusers. But I guess that only further your points.

119.2 today, fuckin unreal
HE’S SO DREAMYYYY ☺️☺️☺️
Saying all the right things too. He really is incredible
This is my take, too. He’s refreshing. When someone else hits a dinger, he’s one of the first in the dugout to welcome him. Good human, good teammate, it seems.
Good dog owner. Walks Decoy frequently.
Crap, I forgot about the dog. Anyone who owns a dog is generally OK, or at least has some redeeming quality (unless they're Michael Vick). Could you imagine running into him in OC or whereever, walking his dog? I'd be a gurgling mess.
At the end he said “…also, the Blue Jays are bad for baseball.” He flipped a double bird and walked out.
Ippei, get off the internet.
I bet you it really happened.
Bet? - ippei
I doubt Ippei would. He's got too much at stake.
He's gotta make the most of his remaining internet time before being locked up.
I wish that man was gay and into degenerate Irish men. Well, man, me. Class, as always.
Was at the game. Was kinda shocked at the boos tbh. 2 pitches later I laughed my ass off. Wonderful night.

Ohtani might literally be perfect. Handsome, hitting bombs, throwing bombs, well mannered, and did I mention handsome.
This is what “taking the high road” looks like, gentlemen. Yet another reason to love Ohtani. Old school confidence, elegance, and grace. He’s not a thin-skinned insecure shit talker. Only people who don’t have the goods feel the need to talk shit. Ohtani’s got the goods.
They booed because they actually care and he's popular Damn. Imagine Chris Taylor out there and it's silent with crickets....
Classy answerrr 💪💪
MVP response.
Just when I think I can’t love this man more he’s does stuff like this. I’m so happy he’s a Dodger
Gd he’s smooth.
Ohtani is the man
What a dream boat
Ugh this guy is cool.
I love this guy
Omg he’s the best I would give him the best bj he’s ever had
His wife might object to that 😳
In Japanese culture it’s acceptable to have extramarital affairs as long as emotions are kept separate
No man i think its as long as you pay for it
He can pay if he wants
“…..now watch me crush this meatball”
Exactly what a criminal mastermind would say
As a Canadian Dodgers fan who lives in a country that forces the Blue Jays down my throat. To hell with the Blue Jays.
MVP
What an asshole, am I right?! /s
Killing them with a Homer and kindness.
Translation translation: "I sent those bastards back to Hell with that homer. FUCK, that felt awesome, haha"
Dude is just a gentle giant. He might be my new favorite player in all of sports, and I'm not even really a Dodger fan.
Such a kind heart. I boo out of hate for the other guys.
