    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Cool, I mean I didn't post my script about what I think really happened, and what my assumption of someone's character means they did, or make any assumptions about what his personal or business relationships look like, either.

    I think everyone understands and no one needs to be convinced that fraud happens to people with money. But that doesn’t mean it did or didn’t happen here. All of this talk is fan fiction.

    I’d like to also point out there are loads more rich and famous dudes who thought rules didn’t apply to them because they’re rich and famous. No one here knows this guy personally.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    How does one reasonably push back on a made up story? Unless someone has talked to JM that I missed.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    The problem I see with this is that in machining you can measure all the bits and stuff. When you’re talking about a human body (which doesn’t really adhere to math in the first place), unless youre scoping the elbow and shoulder after every start, you’re missing a lot of necessary inputs...

    Nope. I hope I didn’t come off as accusing (probably! Long day). I’m pushing back on the idea that MLB’s position on gambling has really anything to do with this situation Ohtani is in. And that the motivations and actions of DraftKings, et al are anything like an illegal gambling ring.

    We absolutely don’t disagree here. It’s a gross and simply opportunistic about face. I don’t consider that a reason for them not to be concerned about their highest paid player being in bed with a criminal racket. Edit 2: mildly humorous to watch them lie in the bed they’ve made for sure

    You think a highly regulated company with billions of dollars on the line would cross into criminal enforcement of a debt? Really?

    No problem here! It’s a fascinating, if depressing, scenario.
