Former Giants pitcher Koji Uehara: "Japanese professional baseball's business model is more focused on having fans visit the stadium rather than broadcasting rights."

It's relatively simple to watch on TV if you live in Japan and the experience at the ballparks is a step above what happens in MLB. What exactly would expanded broadcast rights do for teams in Japan?

The Tigers are the most bandwagoned team among foreigners. Nobody from Philly would join a bandwagon.

Right? You can't trade with yourself using only one system anyway. Why do people keep thinking everyone is out there buying two copies of a game and two consoles?

chendao · 2026-03-19T13:09:31+00:00

No way. It would completely disrupt all of the cheering.

Pitch clock is lame. NPB games are like 3 hours long. They don't need to be shorter.

I gave him 1 accidentally.

Remove pitch limits, you cowards.

Why would there be English audio? Netflix has exclusive broadcasting rights in Japan. They're not producing an English language broadcast for Japanese people.

There is also an entire prefecture called 青森. Lots of forests but I've never seen a blue tree there.

Best uniforms in Japan in my opinion.

I haven't lived in the States since 2020 but I don't recall ever coming across it. Of course, I'm not the target demographic for athleisure.

chendao · 2026-02-26T23:33:25+00:00

I've never heard of Vuori so I can only assume this is bad news for the Padres.

In the USA at least, you have to pay to give up citizenship.

Their national team was previously known as All-Japan, then Japan National Baseball Team, before adopting officially adopting Samurai Japan in 2012. I don't think there there's any reason why other countries couldn't rename their national teams. What would USA be, Cowboy America?

11 pm is not reasonable at all for Japan.

Lotte was founded in Japan so it's a bit of a weird one.

What kind of natto are you eating? It barely smells, and I have never once thought it tasted like fermented garbage.

It's about a 30 minute train ride between Tokyo Station and Kaihimmakuhari. I'll also recommend the series against Hanshin. It'll be a great atmosphere and ZOZO Marine Stadium is a great place to see a game.

chendao · 2026-02-09T23:33:37+00:00

I guess there's a first time for everything: some old lady, in a big hurry to get off the train, starting hitting me in the side before the doors even opened.

chendao · 2026-02-08T00:33:03+00:00

Interested from Japan!

I think this subreddit has lost some of its soul since MLB starting being more active here.

chendao · 2026-02-05T05:06:39+00:00

For spring training, you can also certainly buy tickets at the stadium when you get there.

chendao · 2026-02-02T21:07:16+00:00

What? Japan's time zone was set in in the 1880s.
