In the first inning, Ohtani, who went to bat without a dead runner, greeted opponent’s catcher Casali with a nod like “Please!” Missed Game 18 the day before, and Casali, a mid-level Mariners player who wore a mask for the first time in two days, also responded by waving a mask. Additionally, Ohtani, who took a straight walk in the game against Mariners starter Gonzalez, was later seen on the show talking with first baseman France with a smile on his face.

There have been numerous scenes where Ohtani has a conversation with the opposing team’s first baseman after he arrives on base, and viewers react to each time. That day, even in the scene of the conversation with France, comments such as “France talks a lot”, “Story time”, “Thai France is probably friendly” were launched.
