Will Trigger Travers

@AngryHanshinFan @dup_thereitis He gave off vibes of a guy that just wanted to live in Japan and happened to be a baseball player. I doubt SoftBank would have given a shit about his values so he pivoted to the team that would pander to him.

@BigWillyStyle59 @dup_thereitis I read a few things on here that he didn't the way Hanshin treated him and they didn't consider his values. Something like that. Just remember that this guy was having fun all over Osaka during his "Rehab!" Taking pics, hanging out yet Hanshin was the problem😒😒

DISGUSTING! Why you hugging a guy who trashed the #阪神タイガース #HanshinTigers ? @dup_thereitis hated Hanshin, so forget that clown!😡😡🤡🤡

@JRodFanClub Expat or immigrant? It's a fine line mate.

And I 💯 plan on selling my home in the next 7-8 years and being an expat with dual citizenship.

There’s “Sunday scaries” and then there’s “Returning home scaries”.

@TigersDreamlink あのアメリカ人の先発はゴールデンウィークまで頑張って。以上です。

@LouisAnalysis Yes, he is.

Shota Morishita is just too good: - 106.2 MPH lineout. - 110.4 MPH single. - 369 ft HR w/EV 110.9 MPH. - 73.3 MPH single. He’s the complete package at the plate, and a Top 25 global prospect.

@AngryHanshinFan He's got until GW to sort it out before his DMs get shelled...and I'll be getting stuck in too!

NICE JOB MORISHITA! Its a shame we lost, but Lucas got a huge surprise tonight..i hope he realizes his mistakes and improves.

@Hakkeyoi_Sumo Lol nice one 🤝

- Tsukedashi Reformation - News reports say the Kyokai is planning to reform the Ms Tsukedashi system. Students that earned a Tsukedashi spot will start from M15 instead of Ms15 to give talents a boost. It will be called Maegashira North, with the tachiai going North-South.

@GaijinBaseball The roar as that ball went over the fence in right 👍

Fun fact, the reason Koshien Stadium was built was because an All-Kansai semi-final in 1923 Summer Koshien (Hyogo's Koyo HS vs Kyoto's Ritsumeikan HS) caused the Grandstands at Naruo Stadium to overflow with spectators. Expect this one to be loud.

@FeelYouHappy ⚫🟡

Sometimes sports is about more than just the score. 🥺

The first Complete Game Shutout of 2026 belongs to Haruto Takahashi He shuts down the Yomiuri Giants, only allowing 5 baserunners

明日27日18:15より東京ドームにて読売ジャイアンツ戦！開幕投手はタイガースが村上頌樹投手！ジャイアンツは竹丸和幸投手です。村上投手が平成生まれでは球団初となる開幕投手2年連続勝利を狙う！一番乗りの白星を挙げて球団初のセ・リーグ連覇へ向けて好発進を決めたい！ #阪神タイガース #熱覇

@conbiniboys Seicomart can't leave...

This could be New York City

She's a frustrating follow (can't reply) but always full of 🇹🇼 gems.

🌊 Mentally I’m on this train in Taiwan looking out at the unbothered ocean.

@yakyucosmo Japanese generally have limited knowledge of geopolitics so was this mostly gaijin Twitter or have they been burned before?

Raidel Martinez and Livan Moinelo are expected to finally return to Japan tomorrow. They should be ready to play by the second week of the season. As expected, they are not defecting from Cuba and Giants/Hawks fans can have a sigh of relief.

@J96__7 @keatonhorrocks1 Seen you!

matt weston greatest man on the earth. 3 john smiths 28.82 seconds. beat that. #bwfc #worldrecord

@mrjeffu @politicalawake Most St Patrick's Day parades/events would have taken place at the weekend anyway.

@politicalawake You are a foreigner pretending to be Japanese. There are about 2,000 Irish people in Japan. Most of the Catholics here are Japanese or Filipino. I have Irish ancestors so I celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but it isn't a holiday here. Post proof you are actually Japanese.

There are over 450K Japanese Catholics yet yesterday the NHK decided to ignore St Patrick's festivals across Japan to push Islam. This has angered many Japanese who feel Multiculturalism is being forced upon them.

@yakyucosmo Fair play for getting straight after it, must be jet lagged af.

Shota Morishita’s 1st homer since returning to Hanshin from Samurai Japan

@yakyucosmo Totally agree on the lack of multi-faceted players. When it came down to it, guys like Maki, Okamoto and Murakami were redundant. Next WBC the team will be a lot stronger, lineup anchored by Hanshin guys like Teru, Morishita and Tateishi.

🇯🇵⚾️ A couple of things Japanese baseball should reflect on in general following the loss to Venezuela to be eliminated from the #WorldBaseballClassic. There were many questionable decisions throughout the tournament and a 1 game sample doesn't reflect talent level. But they looked shaky at times in the pool stage and simply weren't good enough today. - The dead ball era isn't breeding a competitive environment for anybody. Pitchers like Tatsuya Imai are going to MLB, saying NPB is essentially "too easy" because no one can hit a home run off him. Pitchers can scrape by without maximizing their stuff. The majority of hitters are struggling to hit for any power and aren't adjusting well (Pull Air, non-optimal launch angles, etc). - Compared to other countries, including Korea, Japan has struggled to produce dynamic, multi-tooled players. Beyond Ohtani, the lineup had very little in the way of combining power and speed. The fact that they have to choose between pure offense vs. pure defense at multiple spots on the diamond is a problem. - NPB has been late to adopt or even consider changes from MLB/KBO (universal DH, pitch clock, pickoff limits, etc). It isn't necessary to simply copy what other leagues are doing. But going into a tournament with different rules makes it inherently harder. - Hiring managers and coaches (both NPB and national team) based on who was a legendary player does not breed innovation or new ideas. - NPB has not only shown zero willingness to do international outreach but has also actively made it harder for domestic fans to post about their favorite teams and players through archaic social media restrictions. - The posting system obviously needs reform, but in its current state, more and more players will skip NPB to start their careers stateside at the collegiate or minor league level. Even with the eligibility changes to the NPB Draft, more amateurs will be developed outside of NPB. It remains to be seen what comes of players like Rintaro Sasaki, Shotaro Morii, Genei Sato, etc, but, just as in soccer, there will come a time when the "domestic" and "foreign" cores are more isolated than ever. Long-term, we need to better understand the development upsides of each path, whether players can get the best of both worlds, and how Samurai Japan can best integrate both.
