Tanaka headed back to Japan

Not a good move for Tanaka if it means that he's going to be facing Adam Jones in the NPB...

Why don't you ask Tanaka about me? I'm the one who's been over here in the major leagues for a while. Congratulations, he did it over there. Don't make it like he's the dirtiest guy in the world. He was 24-0-in Japan.

At the end of the day, we've got to judge it off major-league hitters, not the Japanese hitters. We're a little bit better over here as hitters. 

 

In 35 PA (one of the highest individual numbers against Tanaka), Jones was .353/.389/.676

Jonathan Schoop also did quite well against Tanaka, slashing .290/.313/.677 in ~32 PA (not 100% sure where some of the additional OBP comes from, as it's not a BB, likely a HBP)

"Just missed that one." Classic.
