(Rome) Tatsuya Imai a déclaré que le monticule du T-Mobile Park « était vraiment dur » et qu’il avait du mal à s’adapter. La météo dans laquelle il a lancé vendredi n’est « pas habituelle au Japon », a-t-il déclaré, et ses mécaniciens sont hors de contrôle lorsque les coureurs atteignent la base.

Me when I’d get destroyed in MW2 team deathmatch in front of the boys
This is pretty much his way of saying « skill issue ».
Threw out every excuse in the book
Yeah man, totally the right choice of words
way to take accountability bro
I mean it is famously hard to pitch in Seattle
>The weather he pitched in
Did they not close the roof at T Mobile or something?
it was like 60 degrees in seattle fri night
Ppl who’ve never player baseball about to flood these comments
When you can’t settle on one excuse you so you throw shit at the wall and see what sticks
I don’t understand what people want from him. He says « I have to be better » and then explains the things on his mind that made it difficult for him yesterday and so many people are like WAY TO MAKE EXCUSES LOSER
Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy things when they come your way, y’know?
more excuses than outs
Holy fuck. Three separate excuses is insane
that must be why pitchers tend to be so much worse at T-Mobile… oh wait
Haven’t heard that one before
Didn’t Yamamoto also have a rough start to his first year in the MLB? Look at him now.
Taking a page right out of Jazz Chisholm’s book about not being able to play well because it’s “too cold”
Besides Yamamoto none of these guys really work out
BEFORE PEOPLE START THE HATE TRAIN, the headline quotes aren’t the full story. Imai also said that he “wanted to end the losing streak” and he “wasn’t able to perform the starting pitcher’s job. That’s the sad part.” Sounds like he’s taking accountability to me. Secondly, he ends his quote about the mounds and field saying “That’s what I have to figure out, how to adjust to those mounds.” He’s clearly framing it as trying to find out why he was so bad, and what he wants to fix. He’s not blaming the mound. But of course, Reddit will do its thing and everyone will think he’s making excuses.

Yamamoto would never.
Japanese free agency market started hot but Murakami, Imai and Okamoto struggling now.
Feel like there were so many hot takes about how all the scouts were wrong but it will take time for them to adjust and then to see if pitchers/hitters adjust once they see them more.
Him and Jazz using the weather excuse lmao

Ah yes, Japan is so different from Seattle weather wise /s
Skill issue?
Wah wah wah shut up bitch
You know, I think I’m OK we didnt get him now
Doesn’t Seattle have like the closest comparable climate to Japan?? Obviously Japan is a big country with lots of biomes, but bro it’s not like you’re pitching in an open air stadium in Las Vegas in August.
Sounds like a lot of excuses.
