There are many issues. But a lot of players pay attention to this event. I'm sure you can improve aspects in the three years before the next event takes place.
It's such a shame. It's such a pity.
It's not an ideal thing for a player to think, but I really didn't care if I would get injured in this game. That's how much I really wanted to win this one. That's how we were driven to this championship.
Everyone got a chance to make contact with the ball and we are feeling the groove now. I'm the only one not quite feeling it yet.
It was either going to be an extremely boring day or then again maybe not. I went all out for the homer, really 120 percent.
I want to be the kind of player, ... where the fans can look to me and think it's just another day, another performance.
They are very confident. They are united as a team. They have a better chance to bring out the best in themselves.
It's a good chance for everyone interested in soba to exchange opinions. Walking around and tasting is the main part.
With the World Baseball Classic, this year is a bit different. Our goal will be to win the tournament and after that I'll start thinking about the regular season.

I feel like I should be more in touch with the nuances of this game.
We didn't prepare as well as we might have, ... There are a lot of fans who paid to see us play today. As professionals, we should prepare ourselves as best as we can to go out there and play in the best shape we're capable of playing.
The more you put your opinion out there, you are open to more vulnerability. Of course, I want to change the team. But working by myself is difficult ... it has to be a team effort.
