I swear I think people will believe anything these days.That is a troll account lol none of that happened
Never happen.
Pete Rose's value to the league had been used up by the time his charges came around.
Ohtani is just scratching the surface. Plenty of dough to be squeezed out yet. (don't take this as an argument for or against the merits of the case)
“This thread is nonsensical…” proceeds to come to the same conclusions this thread did days ago… 🤦♂️.That thread is pretty nonsensical. Ohtani pitched 6 shutout innings that day before getting beat up in the 7th inning.
It seems to me one of three things happened.
1. Ohtani was placing bets through an illegal bookie through his interpreter Ippei.
2. Ippei racked up a huge debt and Ohtani covered it for him by wiring the illegal bookie millions of dollars.
3. Ippei somehow (through a power of attorney or something) accessed Ohtani's bank accounts and managed to make at least nine $500K payments without him noticing.
For me, scenario 1 seems the most likely and scenario 3 (the current official narrative) is way too far fetched for me to believe. If the first scenario is true, I've seen zero evidence thus far that he bet on baseball. If he bet on baseball, then obviously he should be banned.
However, if he didn't bet on baseball, then the only problem here is that he was using an illegal bookie. That carries a minimum of a one year suspension under the CBA. With regards to the legal system, it's illegal to be a bookie, but not illegal to use one (although I'm not If he would still be guilty of wire fraud).
If it's scenario 2, he's 1.) incredibly naive and 2.) still guilty of violating the CBA and should be suspended.
Sorry. I meant the Twitter thread which said he was throwing games, not this CatPaw one. I did say "that" thread not "this" thread. But I get the confusion. I'll edit for clarity.“This thread is nonsensical…” proceeds to come to the same conclusions this thread did days ago… 🤦♂️.
No matter which conclusion you pick, Ohtani is only guilty of helping a friend and will not be suspended any games as far as MLB is concerned.
I seldom mention what I do or who I am, but I'm pretty highly connected with one Major League organization (not the Dodgers though). That said, I text almost daily with the GM who is 100% plugged into what is going on. What is going to happen tomorrow is this... Ohtani - on his own - is going to step away for the game for at least a season and play basketball. It was his first love growing up as a kid, and his dad was always bummed he didn't go in that direction. He's going to sign with the Clippers, and he'll start out in the G-League. I would expect him to be back right before the playoffs the following year.
He is on the UNCheat protection plan.Looks like he's dirty but he's going to get away with this because he has a fall guy and because greed by the MLB will do whatever is necessary to keep today's version of Babe Ruth on the field. Money will eventually flow one day to the interpreter to keep up the lie.
Cooking CowTerd dying on the hill of defending Ohtani. Sure he’s a Dodger fan, lol.He is on the UNCheat protection plan.
