Rose wasn't trying to do anything. A reporter asked him for his comment and he gave his opinion.
Edited to add: In other words, it wasn't Rose that brought it up.
Edited to further add: It shouldn't even be a topic for discussion. If we're going to even possibly consider Ichiro's hits from Japan, then let's consider all Japanese players statistics for all categories.
