This article shows that earlier this week Shohei called out a reporter who said he didn’t get many run-scoring opportunities while playing for the Angels and asked how he was planning to deal with batting under pressure for the Dodgers. Shohei even went so for as to call the question disrespectful to the Angels.
I know a lot of fans here still hate Shohei for going to Dodgers. But you can see that he really loved the Angels.

Translation of the article.

[Otani has not been able to hit in scoring position recently and has been criticized for his “weakness in competition.” In the midst of this, a reporter asked him about the differences between the Angels, the team he played for until last season, and the Dodgers, asking, “You didn’t get many opportunities like that with the (Los Angeles) Angels, but from now on, how are you going to hit under the pressure of the Dodgers?”

In response, Otani showed his love for his former team by saying, “Of course I love the Angels, and of course I love the fans,” but then flatly denied it, saying, “It’s not that I feel pressure or not.” He continued, ” I think that would be disrespectful to the Angels. It’s not a matter of whether there is pressure or not, but I think each and every at-bat is important.” ]
