You're right. He did throw that day. 6+ innings in fact.

Sometimes I ponder how much better all of our lives would be here on AW had you had an older brother that would have whooped your ass occasionally growing up.

So it has a little benefit

 

A little, apparently.  It wasn’t clear if that benefit was neutering the idiots who take it, but I’m assuming it might be.

Well the one thing we’ve established today, without a doubt, is that ohtani threw that game in Atlanta.  That alone should get him banned.

@cals  Wasn't Bauer suspended during his "investigation"?

Yes, you have to go by the precedent here, too.

IDK if that post is BS or not.  Probably so.  But what's interesting about that game is that Shohei pitched that day and had a shutout going until the 7th inning.  In a tie 0-0 game, he gave up 6 runs in the 7th.  Angels go on to lose 8-1 and this supposed bet was won

Maybe he was betting on the Oscars.

Was he at your house?

Larry complaining about border jumpers is a bit like Blarg chastising people for their unhealthy diets.

This scenario would be so funny to watch it happen to the Dodgers 

Yes, but MLB won’t let that happen to it’s “premier franchise.”

I bet Ohtani smelled this coming and that’s why he deferred so much cash.  If he gets suspended for 10 years or whatever without pay then he’s only losing $20 million.  The Dodgers will start paying the 68 mil per year after the suspension is done.  Smart move.

Ohtani needs to be suspended immediately.

You're being trolled and you don’t even know it.

Like you know anything about Belizean English, mon.

Wrong. And it's hilarious that Tank, a teacher, liked your post.

it's = contraction of "it is"

its = possessive of "it"

You've forgotten that I've spent that last month in New Zealand.  In NZ, Australia and the UK (Belizean English, as well) "it's" is acceptable as a possessive for it.  So it's acceptable for me to use it.

I want Ohtani kicked out of the league and the Dodgers to be on the hook for the contract, but I also want him to be completely oblivious and innocent in this so Blarg can look like Blarg again

There will be plenty of opportunities for Blarg to Blarg us again.

Didn’t Bauer get Bauered while on the Dodgers?

His Bauering did nothing but help the Dodgers.  Bauering goes both ways.  Like a certain poster here.

*its

possessive. It's. 

One thing is for certain, MLB is not going to let it's golden boy nor it's favorite franchise go up in flames without a serious fight.

Ohtani is lucky he isn't on the Angels.  He'd have been Bauered by now.

So it sounds like Ohtani's name got caught up in a gambling investigation that the LA Times learned about. They reached out to Ohtani's team for a response, and they threw Ippei under the bus...

$100 says it's Ohtani and they're throwing Ippei under the bus as a scapegoat. 

When will you people start listening to me?

Ha ha, Ohtani is going down.

For the record, I think Arnie Hammer is a cool dude. 

Just now, ScottM said:

1. How did he have access to Shohei's funds?

2. "Millions of dollars." Does Ippei make that much?

Me thinks there's a LOT more to this...
