Director Roberts walks out on the bench worrying about Shohei Otani → SNS response to light backstep presentation “It looks like reverse playback” and “It was cute.”

　Major League Baseball (MLB) Dodgers are in the fifth game of the league championship series against the Mets on the 19th Japan time. Attention is focused on Dave Roberts’ “backstep” during the game.

　On that day, Otani Shohei started with “No.1 DH.” In the second at-bat, which was held at second base with two outs in the second inning, there was an accident in the right eye. As I took the time, Mets fans booed loudly. Worried about Otani, Roberts jumped out of the bench, but after confirming his safety, he went down with a light backstep.

　People who saw this pattern commented, “The way Roberts and Iaton returned was linked and interesting,” “This Roberts’ step was cute,” “I saw Roberts’ backstep for the first time,” “I laughed like I was going home,” “It was cute to come back with the director’s backstep.” Behind the accident that hit Shohei Otani…The way Roberts moves makes me feel like I’m already Japanese. “More than I thought…”

　Major League Dodgers pitcher Shohei Otani appeared in Game 5 of the league championship series against the Mets on the 18th (19th Japan time) in the enemy’s territory with “No. 1 DH” and had two hits and two strikeouts in four at-bats. In the middle of his second at-bat, an accident in which a bug appeared to catch his eye and took time. The movement of the team staff and manager Dave Roberts seemed to be full of visibility for the Japanese, and “Sazae-san” has become a hot topic of conversation.

　In the second inning of 0-3, the Dodgers scored a run with two outs and first and third base, and still two outs and second base. Otani, who was at bat, spent time with three balls. It shows a gesture of looking down and touching the area near the eyes, and it seems that insects or garbage have caught the eyes. The stands were loud boos. The staff and manager Roberts rushed out of the bench anxiously, but it didn’t become a big deal and immediately turned back to the bench.

　At that time, it became a topic of conversation that the gesture of running on the backstep while raising one’s legs high resembles the ending of the national animation “Sazae-san.” Japanese fans on X were excited, saying, “Director Roberts returns like the ending of “Sazae-san” after finding out that there were no abnormalities,” “Sazae-san de Kusa,” “Director Roberts, how cute are you?” and “This was really interesting.”
