Well, it didn't take long for off the field stuff to take over. Ohtani's interpreter was fired due to 4.5 million gambling funds being transferred from Ohtani's account.

 

What are the odds Ohtani himself was the gambler and the interpreter simply took the fall or else we'd have another Pete Rose case here? That's more plausible than Mizuhara actually stealing 4.5 milion and nobody actually taking notice of that (no matter how big Ohtani's account number really is and I guess he has several anyway).

 

I assume there won't be any serious investigation after the guilty party was found out already? :p

Seems crazy to me that he would be in that deep into gambling.  And 100% his interpreter may be the fall guy for an investigation that's never going to happen because no one wants to find out the truth.

@Quaker2001Because sport gambling was illegal in USA for so long I guess people there still have a hard time accepting the fact gambling is a popular addiction in general and Pete Rose wasn't the great outlier after all. On the contrary, sports gambling is massively popular across the world though from a cultural standpoint I don't know how popular it actually is in Japan. It wanders the other ways too, horse race betting is probably more popular in USA than any other country but of course that comes as a spin-off to the original sports gambling ban. Plus we still don't know what sports this case revolves around unless someone leaks the details.

Here's the thing though since you mentioned Pete Rose.  For years and years dating back to the Black Sox scandal, gambling was the number one sin throughout baseball.  And it was posted in every clubhouse that you're not allowed to bet on baseball.  So even if Rose wasn't an outlier, he still broke the cardinal rule of being a baseball player.

 

If Ohtani is betting on sports, I wonder what else it might be if not baseball?  Sumo wrestling?  There's obviously a lot of unknowns here.  If we find out at some point that Ohtani was betting on baseball, that's going to be a major problem.  So it's all hope that's not it.

Opening Day is underway. To nobody's surprise Angels are getting pantsed by the Orioles :lol:

Started out so well for them.  Trout homered in the 1st, seemed like the Angels might have something.  Then they have nothing from there.  Will likely be the story for them all season

That's been the story of the Angels ever since Trout entered the league :d (besides 2014). At least he had Ohtani to keep him company for a few years.

    • All those grandiose & expensive Winter Games that made it impossible for smaller countries to bid I'd say.
    • But yeah, this was fun. Too bad we got a safety car at the end when the rain restarted, because the immense chaos right after both McLaren's went off for a bit was just hilarious  
    • So did Hadjar and Doohan...kind of  
    • Lots of chaos in Australia today to start the season. As usual, i lost the count of safety cars, that were in the race. The unpredictability and position changes were more frequent, though that was always going to happen in a wet race, but i'll take it as a promising start for 2025.    Antonelli made a memorable debut after all the hype around him. This kid could actually be the real deal.
    • Just out of curiousity and besides personal preferences for this or that sport or event: what exactly, concretely, did Bach do that 'almost destroyed the Olympics'?
    • I know the Anglo-World never liked Juan Antonio Samaranch and they're going to be the same with his son, but they should only be grateful to him, because if it wasn't for Don Juan and South Korea, we wouldn't get any Olympic Games nowadays   he did really save the Olympics from the delusions of omnipotence of the politicians ruling the World at that time and from the crazy race to extreme doping of the late Eighties...and if he did something that might be considered "controversial", those who followed him on the sport's more important armchair have been way worse (especially the 1976 Olympic Champion himself, who almost destroyed the Olympics)
    • I think this is the first time this winter that I agree with you
    • a bunch of unfair morons that don't even know the rules     from the ISU Technical Rulebook:   Rule 254.8   The following situations will not lead to a disqualification in accordance with paragraph 3 above:   a) If a Competitor does not keep within the inner lane in the curve or when exiting the curve towards the finishing straight and therefore crosses the line to the outer lane, the Competitor will not be disqualified if returning immediately to the inner lane. When exiting the curve, the return to the inner lane must in any case have taken place before the first of the lines defining the 1000m finish on a standard 400m track.   (...)   so, unless there's some kind of impeding of the opposing skater, if someone just skate the inner curve wide and gets back within the 1000m lines, there's no room for any kind of punishment   neither Eitrem Yesterday nor Ghiotto Today did anything wrong (otherwise almost every 500m skater should be DQed when skating the final stint in the inner lane, as they just can't stay in because of the G force)
    • I'm guessing that INTERPOL-Searched Diack's BFF is losinbg badly, cause they dont have no choice but to resort to biased headlines.   Oh, what a pitty.      
    • Steam still ruled the railways, there was one TV channel & Elvis was still working as a delivery boy.
