    What do you mean, why?

    Dude was caught gambling and hid behind a translator (he speaks perfect English, by the way), and then MLB came up with a patsy the likes we have never seen before.

    The Jays/Astros missed so many opportunities. How many did they leave on base? That ninth inning was a disgrace; totally messed up.

    Now that I think about it, would they have just walked Springer with the open base to pitch to Lukes who was 0-4?

    ohtani is cool. i dont dislike him.

    he's from like the equivalent of iowa here. poor region, shitty weather, and farmers. some nice nature but nothing to do unless you like to ski. good on him for making it out.

    Woah I was just wondering why Ohtani is getting so much hate. Did he say something, do something, or simply just a Dodger so you hope he fails in life? I get not liking the Dodgers as a team but damn!

    Ohtani is more crooked than Pete Rose, but protected by MLB and the FBI

    Pretty funny how the FBI closed the case after only investigating Ohtani for 1 week yet took 3 entire years to investigate Terry Rozier and Billups. Both involved illegal gambling.

    This is the dumbest thing you've ever said.

    Kudos on that, I love it.

    Please don't ever try to top it.

    Seems like bad baserunning is something the Astros gifted to Toronto along with Springer and Straw.

    I never dove deep into that whole situation with his agent. But Ohtani has never given me the vibe of bad dude and his play on the field is amazing.

    There was nothing to tie Ohtani to anything that his interpreter/sidekick did. How many times have athletes been ripped off by people (family, "uncle advisor", rando "financial advisor", etc) close to them?

    People like to make conspiracies out of things that just are not there. Especially bitterass Astros fans.

    Pete literally gambled on his own team including games he played himself. The idea Shohei should be banned from baseball when hes the greatest talent of our generation is utterly hilarious.

    If yall think sports gambling isn't running rampant throughout all sports by the players youre living in some delusional bubble.

    Damn that was the chance of a lifetime for the blue jays.
    Springer would have had a Joe Carter moment (if they pitched to him)
    You just know that Ohtani is going five innings on short rest with 2 homers now.

    What’s hilarious is thinking the FBI gives any ****s about “protecting the MLB” and that an innocent man would agree to spend 5 years in prison to protect Ohtani.

    Gets really annoying seeing this from Astros fans after all the stupid Altuve buzzer stuff. Sounds a lot like those morons who believed that.
