No man, most players are really not good enough after 35. they are still lightyears ahead of 99,99% of humans in baseball but not good enough for the MLB…. It’s that Scalabrine Paradoxon: they are with 50 years closer to Ohtani than you are to them.
I’m a big sumo fan and Hokutofuji is one of my favorites. He always charges in hard and gives it 100%. It’s pronounced more like hoke-toe-fuji because the u is really subtle. And Ryuden is like re-you-den, with ryu kind of as one syllable.
Also another note on pronouncing Ryuuden's name, the R sound in Japanese is kind of a mix between the R and D sound in English, which is why his name sounded like Dyuuden to Jomboy. I've also noticed it sounds even more like a D sound when an English speaker or other non-native speaker tries to pronounce the R sound, as it just sounds less natural because it's really fucking hard to pronounce as a non-native speaker (and then put a ん (n) in front of it and it's even harder, such as -んりゅ (-nryu)).
@@GavinOCo not OP but funny enough, pro wrestling got me into sumo. I'm a big fan of watching japanese pro wrestling, I watched a fed that had a sumo wrestler in there, was bored one day and was like "hmm that sumo dude was interesting in that show last night, lemme check out sumo for once"
Thank you for the recap. One minor correction - You got Ryuden and Hokutoufuji backwards when you first announced their names along with the close-up shot of their faces. Yes, Hokutofuji has the blue belt and Ryuden the brown.
Makes sense - doing a spin adds difficulty for the shooter, and it’s more exciting for the audience so it makes sense that they’d want to incentivize it
@@The.Boo. a japanese friend recently mentioned to me that the rolling R's are very reminiscent of older (showa era) language and she wants to study spanish bc of this haha
Heh, nice, I just posted a comment saying the same thing! This is one of the things that many don't notice in Japanese, so I was surprised that he caught it.
Gotta love seeing legends still enjoying the game after 12 years into retirement 🙌not a huge baseball fan, just a Jomboy Media fan, but even I know that name 😂
I love sumo. I wish it was easier and more common to watch in the states. all the behind the scenes stuff i have seen about sumo is really cool. Those guys are insanely dedicated and strong. Anyways my favorite thing to watch thouyis the other wrestlers in the crowd. They aren't supposed to react to anything but watch and thats gotta take some hard discipline.
World wheelchair handball competition is something I definitely would've missed without this video... and that would've been a shame because those spin moves are awesome haha. And the dribbling too Great video as always Jomboy
The only Yankee game I’ve ever been to was so special because I got to see hideki, probably my all time favorite Yankee, crush a 2 run shot over the right field fence, and yes I was in my hideki jersey
College women's softball announcers still say "second baseman." Sometimes they will sidestep it by saying "threw it to Jones at second base" but it's not basewoman or baseperson. Women's basketball teams still play man-on-man, too.
Why should we assume just because they are playing women's softball that they identify as a woman. That could be a man at second. To be safe, just refer to them as basemen. LoL.
In cricket we changed batsman to batter a couple of years ago because of this. I didn't watch enough cricket let alone women's cricket to know if the name of fielding positions were changed as well.
Seeing Matsui mentioned in a video made me click on this shit so fucking fast. My dad and I loved him. So many big names on that team when he was around.
Tokyo Dome is the home of Yomiuri Giants, the team Matsui played for before coming to NY. 20,000 people showed up for this game. After he had hobbled through the first inning in CF, Matsui moved to 3B the position he played in high school. The most remarkable thing is that this was the first time Matsui and Ichiro met in person in 10 years. Their relationship had always been awkward, probably because they were constantly compared to each other in Japan. But they seemed to have completely buried the hatchet after this game.
4:22 Actually, I think you pretty much caught the sound correctly. The sound in Japanese that is romanized as "R" doesn't actually sound like an English "R" -- it is closer to a mix between a really light "D" and an "L". When you said "Ryuden" quickly like "Dyuden" (at 4:47) it actually sounds closer to native than most.
Matsui played 3rd base because that's where played at during high school and where he thought he'd play throughout his professional career. Ichiro's idea of these games is to get the players to play at positions they're unfamiliar with. Ichiro starting pitcher, Matsuzaka at short-stop and Matsui at 3rd.
Ive always wanted to go to Japan and im not a huge baseball fan, but if i do get there someday id love to see a baseball game there!! Im not a big college foorball fan either, but if ever im in sec territory id try to get to one of those games also!! Both definitely bucket list items!!😁😁💪💪
Main reason why Matsui played 3rd base is because in highschool and the Koshien tournament that's where he played. Ichiro was a pitcher back then. Hence, they played their respecctive highschool positions against highschool girls
First on the Japanese pronunciation. The Japanese "R" is slightly rolled which makes it sound closer to a "D" but I think it's easiest to liken it to a Spanish "R." Other than that your pronunciation was just fine. Now onto Matsui. He said in an interview that he wanted to play 3B because that's where he played in high school and wanted to play 3B in the pros but his manager/mentor never let that happen. So moving to 3B was in the game plan from the beginning but he ended up moving sooner because he pulled his hamstring while chasing a ball in CF early in the game (Daisuke Matsuzaka was in LF). Matsuzaka is dealing with some shoulder issues which is why he didn't pitch in the game. Looking forward to more Japanese sports highlights from you!
The Japanese "R" sound is different from the English "R" and is somewhere between the "D" and "L" sounds in English. If you can roll your R’s in Spanish, it’s somewhat similar, but instead of a continuous trill, you just do a single tap or flick. The tongue quickly taps the alveolar ridge (the area just behind your upper front teeth) once. It’s like a light, quick flick rather than a strong roll. Kinda like you do in the word 'butter'. This tap is how you can produce the Japanese "R" sound correctly.
For that matter, their 'F' sound is actually an 'H' sound with a little more teeth (same character when written in fact - the sound changes when it precedes the 'u' vowel). Not the lip-pursing 'F' in English.
People may not remember the end of his career that well but Hideki Matsui had pretty serious knee problems, grimacing after every swing. I'm really glad his knees look a little better here! Watching him win WS MVP in 2009 will always be in my heart.
4:40 If you want to get traditional, the sportscasters will always refer to compass directions when they refer to the positioning of sumo wrestlers and refs. The camera is always positioned to the _north_ of the ring, so it is always facing _south._ Hokutofuji on the left is the wrestler coming from the _east,_ and Ryuden is the wrestler coming from the _west._ The referee is always at the _south_ of the ring at the start of each match. While the two wrestlers are doing their traditional clap/squat/salt toss thing, the announcer (not the referee or the guy who sings the wrestlers' names) will announce each wrestlers' cardinal direction, then rank, name, home town or country (if not Japan), and stable name, almost like the announcer at a ballgame saying, "Batting first, designated hitter, Shohei Ohtani." So in Hokutofuji's case, it would sound something like (translated), "Approaching from the east _(higashi-gata),_ 13th _maegashira_ rank, Hokutofuji. From Tokorozawa, Saitama, member of Hakkaku stable." You're actually sounding good with the names, Jimmy, and the guy who sounded like they said "Dyuden" probably overemphasized the "L" sound at the beginning. The move Ryuden attempted towards the end is likely an _uwate-nage_ (outside grip or "upper-hand" throw) because his arm on the belt is over Hokutofuji's arm. But Hokutofuji was able to recover his footing and pull/twist Ryuden into a _shitate-nage_ (inside grip or "lower-hand" throw). They seldom go flying in sumo wrestling, but these still count as throws. Hokutofuji finished the last tournament with a record of 8 wins, 5 losses, and 2 absences (because of the injury?), so he might be eligible for promotion to a higher rank.
The “r/l” sound in Japan is actually a complex subject. If I remember correctly, there are about 8 different pronunciations that the “r” can have depending upon the sounds that precede and follow the “r” sound. This is likely why you hear a “d” sound when the announcer pronounces the Japanese sumo’s name that begins with an “r”. This is also the main reason why Japanese people often struggle with the “r/l” sound in English. So please remember this when Japanese people have a strong accent 😁.
I had a meme with a coworker/friend from (South, obv) Korea cause we both got a kick out of the way Japanese people would struggle with that (we had some coworkers from a satellite office in Japan we worked with on occasion, they were dope). It was the best thing when he emulated me and started saying my favorite r/l word pair: "Hirrary Crinton." As for him, getting him to try and say "brewery" was one of the funniest things. It was like there was a block in his brain he had to strain to overcome. He got it right once or twice, but 90% of the time it was a mess of "brourury" and "brurry"
@@Taima My Korean aunt asked me to help her improve her pronounciation of "huge". Every time she tried, she'd pronounce it "hughes" (as in Howard Hughes). After a frustrating half hour trying to explain lip and toungue positions to her, I asked her to say "Howard Hughes." She said "Howard Huge". 🤦♂
@@ThatSockmonkey It's not a big deal in any kind of negative way, but it's a big deal in how cool differences between linguistic groups or people speaking the language can be. I love that there's so much variety, and I think a lot of accents sound pretty cool or interesting. Funnily enough the accents I hate the most are the ones most local to me (Philly/Delco area). This is a mixture of how stupid some people with heavy accents sound to me not being able to say simple words like "water" correctly (woodir) and resentment over having to move here as a kid I think lol.
holy shit i was at that game and i'm in the vid in the stands...was one of 2 white ppl at the game. Went on a last minute whim and had to line up in the morning to get tickets and seats to the unreserved section. It was a lot of fun.
It sounded like the announcer was saying "Dyuuden" because the r sound in Japanese is kind of a mix between the r and d sounds in English, so 竜電 (りゅうでん, Ryuuden) might sound like Dyuuden if you're not used to hearing Japanese.
No disrespect towards Matsui's homerun, the (right hand) pitcher was put in on purpose for reason. The large crowd was there to see Matsui do that. Nice that the girls were able to score this time.
I probably would figure out a different game to play if I was a wheelchair athlete. Maybe some kind of wheelchair slalom. Or volleyball. Also those baseball unforms are sharp af.
Matsui going deep reminds me of Mantle hitting one out during an Old Timers Day Game at the original Yankee Stadium off of Whitey Ford ua-cam.com/video/I9fNcMLaW_A/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Can we talk about the slide and then throw by the right fielder? That looked so clean. Good exhibition baseball
major league level play
Corrected my comment, the right fielder is a young girl.
It definitely wasn't Ichiro, he was in the dugout
Big sigma nu guy
Was the right fielder a girl? I couldn’t tell, but if so that makes it even more impressive.
ichiro is still in his prime🗣️
A lot of guys retire but are still in their prime...they just have no desire to play 162 games every year anymore and have enough money to walk away.
Not quite, he looked tired but clearly there’s life in the old dog yet! And by the way, Jomboy, I saw this on Japanese TV 📺 the day it happened so don’t assume all of your followers missed it!

He played 163 games Soto has 162 games
Preach!
Postseason Godzilla was unstoppable

Going to be 100% honest, I thought the 2-pts-for-spin-score thing was a joke until I looked at the score at the bottom... interesting rule
It’s all handball, not just wheelchair.

@@quintit occasionally doesn’t do it brother
"But he still ended up loosing!". Classic!
Man Matsui is so tight! Freaking love that man.
Ichiro as well of course!
Could you imagine if a sumo wrestler learned some offensive linemen technique
I probably would figure out a different game to play if I was a wheelchair athlete. Maybe some kind of wheelchair slalom. Or volleyball.
Also those baseball unforms are sharp af.
Matsui going deep reminds me of Mantle hitting one out during an Old Timers Day Game at the original Yankee Stadium off of Whitey Ford

The Yankees need him back
Wheelchair Handball is played with mixed teams? Thats cool
Who remembers when this used to be a baseball channel?
I do, was just yesterday
Matsui is a Yankee hero.
I think we can drop "fan of the week"
Every sport should have "You score double if you spin" rule...
I looooove Ichiro, that's it
