And yes, to be clear, I am calling you a giant bitch.

I didn't think about the visibility issues when I started this project. 

I like how he was writing down "notes" when Ohtani was speaking, as if he didn't have a copy of the script himself

Lots of websites where you can stream games.  Not high quality but it's free, it's how I watch blacked out games.
 
Nothing illegal of course, we wouldn't partake in illegal streaming because we are not criminals like Ippei.

That’s young. 

The new guy wishes he had, too. 

The reporters have to be blindfolded too.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Most.  But he’s a Dodger so fuck em.

It's funny because some of us would be bending over backward to defend Ohtani if he were still on the Angels.

I really doubt Shohei Ohtani in today's press conference is going to say anything of substance and it's going to be 100% from his lawyers.

Plus he’s black!

Based on this article, I find it hard to believe he isn't the source of the incorrect info about him that's out there. 
Here are some excerpts:
"In devising a media guide, the standard protocol requires trust between the media relations department and the rest of the employees, according to interviews with media relations staffers from other clubs, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. The media relations department does not have the time to vet the resume claims of each employee, the staffers said. A media relations staffer will often send a proposed biographic thumbnail for pre-approval to the employee, or ask the employee for biographical information in publishing the guide."
...
"Meanwhile, multiple news reports show that Okajima failed a physical on Feb. 17, 2012, before spring training, when he was released by the Yankees. Mizuhara could have worked with Okajima before the official start of camp, during the month or so when players on minor-league deals might arrive early to work out. But the Angels media guide has stated annually since 2019 that Mizuhara “served as an interpreter for Hideki Okajima during Yankees Spring Training in 2012.”
...
"Mizhuara’s connection to Okajima seems to have been exaggerated over time. Multiple news reports have linked Mizuhara to Okajima over different periods. That includes a Nippon.com story from 2021 that said Mizuhara was Okajima’s interpreter during the 2010 season with the Red Sox. But in addition to the Red Sox’s denial, archives from the Boston Globe in April and May 2010 name Ryo Shinkawa as Okajima’s interpreter. The team’s media guide from 2010 lists two people as team interpreters that season, but not Mizuhara."
 

Is this going to actually happen in games that count in 2024?
 

Has Ippei actually said he worked for the Red Sox before and that he went to UCR? Or is that just what was published at one point and it’s been taken as fact ever since?

MLB.com broke all 30 teams into 9 different tiers based on how they'll contend this season. The Angels and Red Sox are in the 8th tier:
https://www.mlb.com/news/tiers-of-2024-mlb-contenders
"Tier 8: Direction unclear
Angels Red Sox For most teams, even if they’re not expected to be successful this year, you can at least see the direction things are headed. Maybe that’s “win the World Series,” or just “get back to .500,” or even “see what our young players are even if we lose a lot of games.” But every year, there’s a team or two where it’s not entirely clear what the present or future hold. This year, that’s Boston and Los Angeles, two veteran clubs that had somewhat indifferent offseasons and are projected to be under .500 again. They won’t be bad, necessarily, because there are too many good players and well-respected managers for that. We just might not have more answers in six months than we do now.
The Angels, famously, no longer employ Shohei Ohtani, and of course never made the playoffs even when they had him; their hopes rest mainly on the wealth of knowledge possessed by new manager Ron Washington, and the hopes of one more healthy peak-level Mike Trout season. Those are pretty appealing dreams to have, of course; it’s just been eight consecutive losing seasons and counting. Boston hired a new front office boss in Craig Breslow and should have a better defensive unit after last season’s poor group, but they’ve already lost new addition Lucas Giolito to season-ending elbow surgery, meaning the staff will look a lot like the 4.52 ERA group from last season."

Watch Ippei turn out to be Chinese or Korean.

Pete Rosetani is done!
