WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC SEMIFINALS AND FINALMarch 20, 2009Tatsunori HaraLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA TATSUNORI HARA: There isn't anything particular to teach, not really in particular. In regards to major league players, I believe the players themselves have more information than I have, so I probably would have information to ask my players of them. Q. I would like to ask more specific questions. On Sunday, it may be Dice-K; is that correct? TATSUNORI HARA: No comment. Let me just say no comment. I guess the media and the fans are probably most interested in that, but what's most important to us right now is to win. So I would like to just keep within the rules and fight on. So would that answer your question? Q. (No microphone.) TATSUNORI HARA: I am looking forward to, as I said yesterday, what we aim for [] with the American team, the major leaguers. So the fact that we can play against them, we're so excited. And at the same time, the U.S. manager, Dave Johnson, I really don't know him well myself, but I understand he was wearing the Tokyo Giants uniform in Japan, so in that sense he was an "old boy" of the Tokyo Giants. I feel familiar with him. And Reggie Smith is also a coach on the U.S. team, so those are two people that I respect that we have to play against. So I would like to be able to fight against them, and Japan to be proud of us. To be proud of Japan, that's what we would like to do. Thank you. End of FastScripts |
