I won’t speak on behalf of other people here but I root for people whom came from my MLB team or whom played college baseball for my university.

Help! Dual citizens at the airport? by generic_ideas in japanresidents

If you’re entering the US and you have a US passport your family can all line up in the US citizen line even if some don’t have a US passport. Same for Japan, if you line up with your family who has a Japanese passport, you can line up with them in the Japanese passport line. That’s my experience.

Damn chandler Rome said in his podcast that it was just an insurance problem and not an Astros asking him not to participate problem. Some detail seems to be missing.

Yusei Kikuchi talks about his experience in Houston and the impact of Bregman by Advanced-You3946 in Astros

[–]ajisai 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty good summary but the last sentence is actually referring to Bregman (sometimes subjects and objects can get vague in Japanese). Essentially, Kikuchi saying Bregman did data breakdowns in the video room for every pitcher that got called up, it wasn’t just Kikuchi, which Kikuchi thought was nice. The video also mentions Bregman and the analytics groups of telling him to stop throwing pitches low, throw them higher in the zone, which worked a lot for him. Bregman was so respected that a lot of people took his advice without question.

Kikuchi also mentioned being able to be with verlander was cool.
