    There's a thread where you can do that without reprisals.

    Clement stole all his hits. Someone should really open an investigation.

    This just doesn't add up for me. What kind of bookie would allow someone making 80k / year to rack up 4.5M in debt? If the interpreter forged something, lied and told them Ohtani was making the bets when he wasn't, which could maybe explain Ohtani paying the debt to make a potential problem with bad people go away, why were they so friendly in the dugout after that had supposedly happened? Also, if that was true, wouldn't it make sense to immediately call your lawyer for options first (who would almost certainly not recommend any kind of direct course of action to something illegal that could be tied back to you)? It makes a lot more sense to me that the interpreter was doing so under Ohtani's direction. Both probably assumed it was legal and therefore didn't try to hide any transactions. Now that they find out it isn't, they're trying to come up with a way out. Who knows if that's true or not, but the story is changing more frequently than Preller makes trades.

    FG, Rebounds, Blocks, and A/T were all still potentially in play. It was an uphill battle, but it certainly wasn't impossible.
  5. Abomination
    Giannis not having his lineup set today is a pretty big mistake.
  6. Abomination
    Ours isn't all that permissible here in Ontario. Thanks Dougie!
  7. Abomination
    That seems about right to me.

    Jesse Chavez might be a nice add given the BP injuries.
  9. Abomination
    Looks like Vladdy worked on his English in the offseason too!
  10. Abomination
    He's a notorious slow starter. If he gets off to a hot start, he could easily put up a 150 wRC+ and 8 WAR.

    A murse and bro hater. Jerry and Kramer want a word with you.

    He needs to adopt the approach of that closer from years ago who squinted all the time because he couldn't see the catcher's glove. Squint on the mound, tell the catcher he can't see the sign from time to time, ask the ump if the pitch was up and away on something down and in, etc. He could REALLY mess with batters!

    Theoretically it doesn't change much with it. The amount in deferred money should already be scaled to an inflation number like Ohtani's contract is (the reason it's 700M instead of the 460M). It has more to do with the team's budget and actual accounting than the CBT I think.
  14. Abomination
    Holy smokes, that was a hell of a catch!

    Didn't the interpreter also say that Ohtani had no knowledge of it, and the interpreter claimed he didn't know he'd done anything wrong? Nothing about the stories makes any sense at all right now. MLB not being interested in it suggests to me that they knew about this well ahead of time and the betting didn't break any MLB rules (so Ohtani's probably safe on that front). It feels like Ohtani probably made the bets, didn't realize they were potentially illegal, and he got caught in the investigation. The interpreter (who probably did the legwork) takes the fall, scuttles off to Japan where it's unlikely he's extradited for an offense like that, and probably keeps getting paid by Ohtani for looking after the house or something.
  16. Abomination
    Is he? Why the hell would an interpreter have access to significant sums of Ohtani's money? If he did and was misusing it, how would an accountant not have noticed until now? Did Ohtani's camp really not find out about a federal investigation until it showed up in the press? If they found out earlier, why was the interpreter still working for him yesterday? If Ohtani is innocent, there's some unbelievable incompetence in the people surrounding him. Things definitely don't add up right now. I think it's fair to question it.
  17. Abomination
    McElvain looks like a future reliever to me, but that probably ticks his stuff up to slightly above average on all 3 pitches. Can't complain about that.
  18. Abomination
    At this point I'd probably settle for an "I can't believe it isn't butter" sandwich. Seriously though, Espinal is probably better than we're giving him credit for. It's more about our other options than it is about him.
  19. Abomination
    Someone may wish to correct me on this, but I think it's simply for accounting purposes. The cap hit should be 31M next year in both scenarios, however by using a signing bonus instead of deferred money the payroll salary will be 23.5M this year and 8.5M next year (assuming he opts out). It probably matters either for his budget or for something related to investors.

    Good matchup. My boys picked a bad time to clank some 3's. Can't really complain. Had my best week of the season in two categories when it mattered most. I just got beat!
  21. Abomination
    Looked out to me. I think it clanked off a fan's hands in the 2nd or 3rd row.
  22. Abomination
    I'd say the pranks have gotten kind of boring. When's the last time you saw a hot foot in the dugout? Or someone like Pedro teasing the fans above the dugout with a string tied to a ball? Even the "fake" pranks like the commercial with Sanchez and Stroman turning on the sprinklers in the ballpark (you can bet that was based on an actual prank at some point). Let them have fun and don't be a an angry old man yelling at clouds.
  23. Abomination
    Just replace everything with "*******"
  24. Abomination
    And half the board would probably do a better job.
  25. Abomination
    I wonder if they meant "opener" or "bulk reliever"?
