Adam Jones needs to be on your show WAY more often! As a Blue Jays fan I always wanted him in Toronto. At least we would get to go to Skydome "I shall never call it Rogers Center" and watch him live many times which was always a joy! Great Player and very well spoken when it comes to his Baseball Analysis. He should coach the White Sox maybe they can win a few more games!
I remember watching Adam Jones growing up, awesome to see him have so much respect for other players and cultures. Expect to see him in a front office soon!
I love listening to knowledgeable people who know how to share their wealth of knowledge like Adam does. He needs to do this a LOT more because he’s really good.
Adam Jones can and should be a coach in the U.S. when he retires as a player. He is articulate, knows the game forwards and backwards, and has a kind of savvy that you can’t buy. Excellent, thank you!
Due to Nomo's influence, he is a big Dodgers fan and would love to pitch for the Dodgers. And with Ohtani, whom he respects, joining the team at the right time, Yamamoto is determined to become a Dodger. After that, it's just a matter of money.
Obviously the culture difference is the biggest change, but Japan has one time zone. The US has four. Play on the west coast on Sunday night, fly out by 7pm back east, arrive at 3am in New York for a game on Monday or Tuesday! Monday obviously would be tougher. I know the next day’s starter usually leaves early. So Yamamoto may fly out on Sunday morning, arriving in New York about 3pm and then gets ready for the start on Monday. So it will be an adjustment
During Miyazaki Camp practices of Samurai Japan, Yamamoto and other pitchers learned about MLB pitching a lot from Darvish Yu, so all those pitchers appreciated Yu's lesdership. Yamamoto has learned a lot about MLB pitchers and he is not afraid of quick debut at MLB games.
Adam Jones was doing a press conference in Baltimore years ago and someone asked him what his favorite part of Baltimore was? He responded by saying, "The airport" the local media was none too pleased. Adam Jones is hilarious 😂
Great insight into Yamamoto from Adam Jones! The Cubs, Jed Hoyer and Seiya Suzuki need a full-court press on Yamamoto. As a Cubs fan, I wanted Yamamoto over Ohtani as our #1 get this off-season. 🤞🎄
Late in the video Adam brings up Nomo as a Japanese MLB pioneer. I walked out of Nomo no-hitting the O’s years ago. Lots of walks, slow game, and I had promised a student musical group that I would coach them that night if their regular coach was a no-show. So the “No Show” made me leave a Nomo No hitter, but at least it wasn’t a Nomo No-No!
1:21 He is right because fundamental baseball in japan is "small ball" they prioritize contact over power I mean power is there but they're playing pure small ball they use compact swing , bunting and other because at the end of the day Japanese batting it's all about connecting to score a run
That's something I've never heard from other places; that he likes flashyness. Usually when I think about Japanese players I always think of them as more like Ohtani's yakyu-baka mentality. But if it's the spotlights he wants I guess it'll really come down to NY, or LA.
Is the lack of weight training and emphasis on flexibility just a way to avoid getting hurt? Like they are willing to sacrifice 2 or 3 mph on pitches from strength training because being flexible won’t get you injured?
All players want to win; that’s clear. The thing is does he want to win now or a sustainable, winning mentality situation going forward. Are his teammates what he evaluates or the quality of all the people in the organization the important thing?
People keep acting like the Dodgers got Ohtani for free and only the $2 mil/year is counting toward their luxury tax. They're still having to count $46 mil/year toward their luxury tax each year they have ohtani. They don't have the money available that everyone is acting like they have
He would be for sure a future commentator .guys give him a Job is going a be better for bussines and understanding about japanise players in a future comming ; do you got it ?
@@West_sideKnecht4after 2026 as far as I know! He throws gas , teams are going to be all over him when his time comes to be posted , other than that splitter to Urías he looked great in the WBC
@@West_sideKnecht4 bro the dodgers will have the money so I already know they’ll be in on him when he is posted ! They should also take a look at Murakami too!! That lefty swing is a thing of beauty
Eh. Tanaka came over and dominated immediately. It was like he never left Japan. I see the same for Yamamoto. Also, Adam should stop referring to the MLB as "American." It's no more American than it is Dominican, or anything else.
Mr. Jones is a great speaker on baseball matters. Very impressive.
@@MrJoeSS MrJoe??
@@leodee3 LOL, the irony of that is incredible. I shook my head and laughed. 😂😂
I saw him once at CITI field when he was with the O’s. He was such a class act towards fans.
He could be an color commentator or analyst for some baseball network.
Very "orienated"
Adam's insight was really good. I learned more from this than I did from a million news articles about Yamamoto.
You could easily join the NPB and give us first hand insights?
Great insight from Adam. He had a lot to say.
Adam Jones is so cool what a great personality and very knowledgeable.
This guy would be a great commentator. His assessment of Yamamoto and Japanese Players is on point.
Yes! I totally see that. Adam Jones articulates baseball very well!

Agree. He was awesome. And I think our collective interest in Japanese baseball is going up! Plus he was also a great big leaguer.
done! def working on having more Adam. he's a busy man!

great analysis by adam jones.
Adam articulated his pov excellently
Adam Jones is a solid human being. The way he is talking about his former teammate shows that he is a solid man. ❤
Adam Jones can and should be a coach in the U.S. when he retires as a player. He is articulate, knows the game forwards and backwards, and has a kind of savvy that you can’t buy. Excellent, thank you!
Great to see Adam Jones.
Great interview!
this was really good insight from Adam. He's a star!
Why isn’t Adam an analyst? This guy is so well spoken and extremely intelligent.
because he's too rich
@@justinsegal394 not a money thing if Brady, Barkley, Shaq, Jeter and Arod is doing it.
Great insight and interesting genuine information.
Adam Jones had excellent MLB numbers.
Even as a Yankee fan I always liked Adam.
Adam Jones should be a color analyst, so articulate
Adam Jones with the shoutn out Coming to America, ramen brands, and beef eats in the same interview. Attaboy
You can tell AJ was really intrigued. 0 words and about a thousand glances at his phone
lol right I'm like, do these two have beef? Very unprofessional
Adam jones is super knowledgeable. Wow.
Make Adam a full time member of this he’s awesome
Good stuff!
And btw, Dodger Manager Dave Roberts is half Japanese as well.
Can’t remember the last time I enjoyed baseball commentary this much. Someone needs to hire Mr. Jones for MLB in-game analysis.
Due to Nomo's influence, he is a big Dodgers fan and would love to pitch for the Dodgers. And with Ohtani, whom he respects, joining the team at the right time, Yamamoto is determined to become a Dodger. After that, it's just a matter of money.
It would be great if Yamamoto is really Dodgers fan and joins Ohtani 😊
Good shit. Unparalleled insight.
Adam Jones nailed it
Adam Jones was 100% dead on. Saw the past, present and future

You can see why Druw Jones is such a touted prospect. Imagine getting to learn from this guy your whole career.
The Dodgers thought Pedro was too small and went with Ramon instead . Big mistake .
thankfully, the dodgers ownership is much smarter than the ones back then
That was Tommy Lasorda's fault. Ramon wasn't bad, his arm got hurt. But Pedro you could see he had great stuff from the jum
During Miyazaki Camp practices of Samurai Japan, Yamamoto and other pitchers learned about MLB pitching a lot from Darvish Yu, so all those pitchers appreciated Yu's lesdership. Yamamoto has learned a lot about MLB pitchers and he is not afraid of quick debut at MLB games.
Wow great insight great show
This interview sure seemed to point towards Yamamoto heading to L.A. 😉
Adam Jones was doing a press conference in Baltimore years ago and someone asked him what his favorite part of Baltimore was?
He responded by saying,
"The airport" the local media was none too pleased.
Adam Jones is hilarious 😂
BAL gotta hire Adam Jones to be an analyst!
Adam Jones needs to be on TV with ARod and Papi
Great stuff.
Very well assessment. Glad the dodgers got him. Hopefully for all good things for Yamamoto this coming season.
Great insight into Yamamoto from Adam Jones! The Cubs, Jed Hoyer and Seiya Suzuki need a full-court press on Yamamoto. As a Cubs fan, I wanted Yamamoto over Ohtani as our #1 get this off-season. 🤞🎄
not gonna happen, he’s a dodger
He wants to win...Cubs ain't winning shit no time soon 🤷🏾♂️ respectfully
Adam got a future as next GOAT in MLB analyst
Adam Jones got the intel "intel." It seems like he knew it a week before it became official. 😂😂😂
Sound like this guy is the real deal.

Wish Braves had Adam jones I always like him play outfield
Great commentary on Yamamoto from Adam, but I didn't know he wasn't with the orioles this year, where the heck was i, lol😂
Might be a good chance he goes to the Dodgers. we will see. it'll be interesting.

Love Adam Jones Still pissed Bivasi traded him great video guys
That's something I've never heard from other places; that he likes flashyness. Usually when I think about Japanese players I always think of them as more like Ohtani's yakyu-baka mentality. But if it's the spotlights he wants I guess it'll really come down to NY, or LA.
Joining shohei is how hes gonna get the most eyes, especially eyes from his hometown. Im sure japan would love seeing yamamoto and shohei reunite.
@@nmc400I guess it really came down to exactly that. I really don't think it was the 25mil.
Big size and bulk means nothing. These big guys fall apart like any. If your good your good!
Adam Jones is a slick witty Barista serving ♨️ sake ☕️ he brew ..no pun 🇯🇵

Look at that, didnt know Adam played in Japan. Good stuff
Adam Jones is very articulate. His 2nd career can be in sport casting.
Roger Clemons comparisons is impressive
Is Yamamoto going to the Dodgers
AJ looks like he is always tired.
shout out adam jones
adam needs to be a commentator
He's signing with the Yankees, he's a Yankees fan, he even wearing a yankees hat on his Instagram.
Just went to dodgers
AJ was not having it!
I guess he is going to the Dodgers
Spoiler alert: He went to the Dodgers.
LOS DOYERS !!
Get Bauer on the show
wbcで山本のダルさん大好き発言があり、山本のカーブをダルが習得していたとゆう噂が日本であり、これどうみても山本由伸はパドレスじゃないって日本では話していたら、ソト放出やお金に余裕ないっぽい？となり今日本では大谷に大金をだしてもまだ余裕あるし、大谷山本の共闘もみれるかもだし、日本ではドジャース応援している人が多いですね

English is my second lenguage but i know baseball . Expertte
It only cost a billion but the Dodgers did manage to get them both lol 💵💵💵💵💵
Adam "Pacman" Jones!
Adam Jones needs to be on the show more often and add some personality to it.
he should be a baseball analyst at a major network as well
Everyone is acting as if Otani didn't defer his salary so the Dodgers could sign him. It's shady and I hope other players start doing the same.
United States,America is a continent hermano!
Excellent narrative! You need to be a MLB Broadcaster!
Watch him lawn dart Ohtani....
Yo if America has the best baseball in the world, how come Japan won 3 times the WBC?
Harold needs to be replaced for Jones
Why isn’t he bringing him to Baltimore 😊
Guy in the upper right corner is sleeping.
Ahh so he will go to the dodgers..
Good luck w LA traffic
He’s going to dodgers !
I love to see with the White Sox, My team don’t have the money to sign him
He will be a Dodger I agree
I want to see him compete with Shohei. If he goes to NY, he could own the city and see him against ohtani in WS is more than exciting
How do you not know it was his teammate for 2 years? Haha wild. Nonprofessional.
Orinated????
Didn’t… Mexico light his ass up? Especially Luis Urias
That was Sasaki that hung that splitter for Urías to crush in the WBC not Yamamoto
@@b-rad3681 ahhh gotcha .. sasaki is eligible to go to the mlb when bro ? Two years?
@@West_sideKnecht4after 2026 as far as I know! He throws gas , teams are going to be all over him when his time comes to be posted , other than that splitter to Urías he looked great in the WBC
