@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.
@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.
@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. 😬

Unreal. Game of the season so far. Happy 10th anniversary.
The Pickles are a problem and they're 9 and 0.
What a squad. No quit in these guys.

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.
