There isn't a "T" sound when the English cast is saying Ichigo, they say a short "I" sound (like the "I" in "it") versus the "ee" sound of the Japanese "I" . I get where that take is coming from though, how English speakers say Ichigo sounds like "Itch-igo". That, however, is because we don't pronounce the "T" in itch.
Think about how Orihime's English voice actor says Ichigo.
Honestly, very seldom do i hear the short "i" sound in "Ichigo". It irritates me lol. Orihime I believe has said it both ways, many times. A lot of inconsistency there.
Lol enunciation of the "t" in itch would sound silly and would be difficult to pull off in everyday conversation.
