At first glance, I am worried about some of them

This is supposed to say “beer tastes better in Japan” but is grammatically very confusing and appears to suggest that Japan is better than the taste of beer?

This is supposed to say “Shota Imanaga is good at baseball.” but it’s out of order? “です” should be at the end. And using “良い” to mean “good at” is possibly really weird? I think it’s *meant* to sound stilted (the way it does in English) but I have no idea how it comes off in Japanese.

This is also looks kind of out of order to me? I would expect
「日本では」”in japan” to be be at the beginning (especially with that は topic marker), and 「です」to be at the end?

And I just saw how you are learning Japanese! That’s some nice commitment and work. And I am sticking with the Cubs t-shirt. And an English sweatshirt.

Ok! This is good to know. I’m thinking I can verify the one that just says Cubs and keep it simple?

“カブス” is just fine
