What Happened

Masahiro Tanaka, the veteran pitcher for the New York Yankees and Yu Darvish, the star hurler for the Texas Rangers, engage in a lighthearted exchange on Twitter. Tanaka mentions that a "yellow cheer from a New York fan" compared his voice to a "cute puppy," and Darvish jokingly responds that Tanaka seems "conscious of it like a puppy." Tanaka denies having such a voice, but Darvish insists that he feels "like a puppy" but is "cool to be like a lion." The two pitchers continue their playful banter, with Tanaka wondering if there truly is a "puppy-like" quality to his voice and inviting Darvish to appear on his own YouTube channel. Darvish agrees, suggesting they can "appear together" and "observe each other's face parts." Tanaka expresses his hope that the "number of registered users will not decrease," likely referring to Darvish's YouTube channel. Darvish assures him that "viewers are ignored" and that it will be a "God's time," implying that they will have an enjoyable experience. Tanaka, however, declines Darvish's invitation to travel to Dallas, Texas, saying, "I'm not going to Dallas. What are you [expletive] nuts?" The two pitchers ultimately agree that Darvish will instead appear on a "video phone" for their joint appearance, with Tanaka stating that the specific "date and time" does not matter. The playful exchange between the two Japanese baseball stars highlights their camaraderie and shared sense of humor, providing a glimpse into their off-field interactions and the lighter side of professional sports.
