Ohtani can’t be this naive

 

[elpablo21]

Ohtani learned from the best

 

[Coupé It]

Oh boy.

 

[Dark Brandon]

Ohtani can’t be this naive

With trusting friends with your money, no. With legal repercussions for wiring money to a bookie, yes.

[Benny Hinn]

We really gotta sign Bauer now just to get the heat off Ohtani

Pads coming out hot!

Honestly, the coldest reality is that Shohei will keep getting crapped on for most likely just trying to bail his homie out.

Let’s be real here. No bookie is going to let a guy on a 300K-500K salary rack up a $4.5M debt. Ippei is taking the fall for Shohei.

 

[xxpizzo]

He was getting rocked in Spring Training to

1st actual game same thing damn

Curious to see how he looks in other starts

Highly unlikely Ohtani was making bets. He’ll most likely get in trouble for sending wire transfers to an illegal bookie. Which is why his lawyers changed up the story so quick.

And racking up a huge debt with an illegal bookie is fairly common. That’s how these degenerate gamblers get into trouble. These bookies will milk these addicts for as much as they can.

He obviously hasn’t watched enough crime movies/shows. Man’s sent it straight from his real account

 

[DsLee]

Mookie

 

[Benny Hinn]

Markus Lynn Betts!!

 

[HIM]

Hope Ohtani took the over on this one

 

[getback]

What am I looking for here

 

[g-time]

I think it's the fact they're laughing/acting cordial as if there's nothing happening.

 

[Cashflow]

 

[Hahahaha]

Wow, so he’s taking the fall for Ohtani or he’s a moron and lost one of the best jobs you can have. Story is nuts. All this happening as soon as he gets to the Dodgers makes it better.


It’s only one game but I thought it was weird when people said that him not pitching an MLB game before didn’t matter.

 

[masagipatron]

It’s just one game. Don’t get wrong, I’m not rooting for Yams, especially since he used the Mets to boost his price, but one game doesn’t say anything. He could go in a bad streak to start and still turn it around.

 

[g-time]

Hasn't he had a decent spring leading up to today though? It's just one game.

 

[getback]

Didn't even realize these were legit games. Assumed it was just an exhibition series
