DiceK and Tavarez.......

[SlumpBustR]

..........what the heLL are they talkin' about and how are they understanding each other?

I can barely understand Julian straight up, how the F is DiceK doing it?

don't tell me Tavarez speaks fluent Japanese? what is the story here and is anyone else cracked up every time NESN shows JT jabbering away at a nodding, smiling DiceK?

It is like when I talk to my wife,I'm Taveraz and she's Dice K, she just nods and smiles never listening to anything I say laughing when I do

I wonder this same thing, can DiceK talk more English than he lets on?

or is Tavarez an idiot savant?

It's like twins having their own secret language.

Tavarez does speak Japanese! They are talking about good sushi restaurants.

I think they scam chicks together, Jullian was looking into the crowd a lot, must have been looking for that BlueJays waitress :icon_pray

Maybe Dice-K knows some Spanish? Or he know's more English than he lets on.

I don't know...If I were a rookie pitcher, I'm not sure I'd want to get tips from Tavarez. Schilling or Timlin maybe.

Yea I saw that, they were scopin out chicks in the crowd, i know thats what they were laughin about because thats one thing guys can always touch bases on, no matter what language they speak. I was in boston, walking near some hispanic and saw a nice looking girl - I just look at the guy, he looks at me and we crack up. Thats probably what they do.

I went to games with my sister-in-laws brother for a few years, baseball and Football - he is deaf but reads lips great - we could communicate with gestures and facial expressions so well his Sister got worried - It's a perverted guy thing.

It was cool to have great seats and have him read the Managers lips when Jimy Williams was on the mound yanking a pitcher

Asian people often have an easier time learning Spanish than English, just because it's an easier language. It's entirely possible that K is getting better at Spanish than English. I saw an article about Ortiz, how he loves playing Seattle because he teases Ichiro and makes him talk to him in Spanish.

have you or anyone happened on any articles about how well DiceK and Tek are communicating especially during an in-game, mound conference situation?
