WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC: FINALSMarch 20, 2017Yoshitomo TsutsugohTomoyuki SuganoNorichika AokiLos Angeles, California Q. Your last game against Cuba was kind of a tough challenge for you. What kind of adjustments have you made and what sort of impression do you have of the American lineup? YOSHITOMO TSUTSUGOH: Let's see, everybody, we heard all the members are in order, and very strong lineup hitting team, I heard. Q. I would like to ask everybody, finally it's the semifinal. The game starts finally, but, please, how do you feel right now, everybody? YOSHITOMO TSUTSUGOH: Finally it's here. That is the strong feeling I have right now. We've done everything we can, so I would like put out a good performance today. I'd like to spend the day and be prepared for tomorrow. NORICHIKA AOKI: Let me see, finally it's here, that's how I feel. Here we have to do something here, that's how I feel. Tomorrow is the semifinal, we'll win it somehow and advance to the final. That's what I want to do. TOMOYUKI SUGANO: Really, it's finally here. That's how I feel. Tomorrow, for sure we'll win and advance to the final, that's how I feel. Q. The WBC coming to America, is there a big difference when you're playing at home versus playing on a different country where the fans aren't necessarily going to be cheering for you as much as they were in Japan? Is there a different pressure to being on a different stage? NORICHIKA AOKI: For sure, I feel it's a way. But here there are a lot of Japanese fans here as well. So I'd like many of them to come see the game. But Americans, I feel it's in the United States, and I feel it will help bring out our best performance as well. So in that context, I'd like to do the best I can. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
