@MattEddyBA @MLB Thank you for sharing! Do you happen to know which department is responsible for compiling these phonetic spellings each year? I assume MLB Communications (@MLB_PR). Know anything about their process or have any guesses? Curious if MLB sources them from each team’s Comms dept.

@blummer27 @astros @RealToddKalas @JuliaMorales @LanceZierlein @DELv2 @AdamJWexler Duly noted 🫡 Whatever the player says is what you say. 100% agree that's the way to go. In any case, all I'm pointing out is a slight difference in which syllables are stressed. Pronunciations from other native Japanese speakers: forvo.com/search/Tatsuya… forvo.com/search/Imai/ja

@DANMATHEWSHOU Yeah, basically. e-MY really... But I've quickly realized that nitpicking over this is a terrible use of my time and energy. Preciate the reply!

@blummer27 @astros @SpaceCityHN @RealToddKalas @JuliaMorales That's totally valid, and I apologize for saying that. I should've been more respectful when I chose my words. Disparaging you was not the intent of that tweet, and I'm genuinely sorry. Promise I'm not a bot, just an anonymous goober baseball fan with an obsession for names.

@Chandler_Rome @astros @SpaceCityHN @SportsTalk790 @reliantenergy Lol I mostly agree. I'm not wrong, but they're not wrong either. I do need to get a life though. Much appreciated 🙏

Didn't mean to take a personal shot. You're a consummate professional who comes prepared. In fairness, your pronunciation is not "wrong." It's the way an educated Am. English speaker would say it. I'm referring to Japanese pronunciation, but I get it—this is the USA.

@astros @SpaceCityHN @SportsTalk790 @reliantenergy Try it before the game today. This tune will help you emphasize the correct syllables. Once you've sung it a few times, keep repeating his name and speed it up a bit more each time. Before you know it, you'll pronounce "Tatsuya Imai" more authentically than 99.9% of Astros fans.

@astros @SpaceCityHN @SportsTalk790 @reliantenergy I can help you pronounce Imai's name correctly: Sing the hook from Prince's "Little Red Corvette" but replace those words with his name. 🎼 TOT-soo-YA ee-MY Todd and Geoff will say "tat-SOO-yuh EE-my" but don't trust them. And definitely don't ask Dana for help. 😬

Framber Valdez of the @astros is the first MLB lefty to toss a complete game in which he had fewer than a dozen pitches in every inning since Tom Glavine on June 15, 1993. Glavine's Braves won that game 2-1 in walkoff fashion - just like Houston did tonight.
