Run along now You might miss SPCE taking off.
I'll be surprised if Ohtani was doing the betting. I won't be surprised if he tried to cover it up.
The Yankees would like to thank Baty for the 3 runs in the 6th. Honorable mention to Grisham who decided to go home to prevent the double play. Both managers just shaking their heads in unison.
She's definitely a Georgia peach that has gone soft.
I did think of Rose but his problem was he bet on baseball. He was at Cooperstown when we went; selling his autographs. I really wasn't interested. If they ever let Shoeless Joe out of prison I'll consider Rose.
MLB owes the fans an explanation otherwise this will hang over the Dodgers like a cloud and sportswriters won't be kind.
The article was directed at Ihub admin but since you choose to reply to me I'll explain it in words you can understand.
It's their playground and if you don't like the rules go play somewhere else.
The coach already announced his retirement. The team is playing for him.
Despite the lockout period he has hand picked the board. The shareholders much like his bondholders in his casinos are about to get screwed imo.
That's my reason not to buy it.
Cortes needs work He isn't fooling many hitters any more.

Betting scandal's unanswered questions
From my story today with Andy McCullough:
As the gambling scandal surrounding his friend and interpreter swirled around baseball on Thursday, Shohei Ohtani stayed silent. He exited Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, South Korea, without addressing the reporters clamoring to better understand the circumstances behind his representatives alleging that Ippei Mizuhara, Ohtani’s closest companion since arriving in Major League Baseball in 2018, had committed “massive theft” and stolen a reported sum of at least $4.5 million to pay off debts to an alleged illegal bookmaker.
Ohtani was far from the only person affected by the scandal to avoid inquiry. After offering contradictory accounts to ESPN earlier in the week, Mizuhara has not responded to requests for comment. Neither has Nez Balelo, Ohtani’s longtime representative from CAA. Dodgers president Stan Kasten and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman did not take questions. MLB officials have declined to weigh in, other than to indicate Ohtani is not currently subject to discipline from the league.
The cone of silence creates a void that has been filled by rumor, innuendo and conjecture. The coming days may fill the void, as the Dodgers return to the United States and federal authorities continue to examine the operation of Mathew Bowyer, the alleged bookmaker in Southern California who took the bets placed by Mizuhara and accepted wire-transfer payments from Ohtani, according to ESPN.
There are many questions that must be answered. Here is the first:
Why did Ippei Mizuhara change his story?
The two accounts of what happened could not conflict more. The first, as told to ESPN by a spokesperson for Ohtani as well as by Mizuhara himself, is that the two-time MVP wired the money to cover his friend’s gambling debt. The second, as told by Ohtani’s attorneys, is that the superstar was the victim of theft. The attorneys did not explain how the theft could have occurred.
Once the attorneys entered the picture, the spokesperson and Mizuhara disavowed their initial story. Mizuhara did a complete reversal, telling ESPN that Ohtani had no knowledge of his gambling debts and that Ohtani had not transferred money to a bookmaking operation.
The most logical assumption: Ohtani’s attorneys feared the original version could place him in some form of legal jeopardy. Which raises another question: Why did the spokesperson for Ohtani allow Mizuhara to talk at all?
A number of outlets pointed out Thursday that multiple federal laws prohibit wiring money to an unlicensed sports gambling operation. Whether Ohtani would be prosecuted for such an act is not known. The government generally goes after bookmakers, not bettors. And based on the accounts thus far, Ohtani wasn’t the one betting.
Might the league, however, discipline Ohtani for his mere association with an illegal bookmaking operation, even if he said he was only acting on behalf of a friend? The Major League rules, specifically Rule 21(f), give the commissioner broad powers to issue discipline, citing that old standby, “the best interests of baseball.”
Of course, it’s easy to see how commissioner Rob Manfred might determine that a ban on Ohtani simply for being naive would not be in the best interests of baseball.

Fuck why stop there. Go after IUDs and rubbers. They can rule that only the rhythm method meets their approval and make it the law of the land.
His followers will lap up the shares when it begins trading. And then turn around and he stuckholders. In any event he is barred from selling or pledging the stock for 6 months.
Johnson has invited Netanyahu to speak to Congress. Personally I don't want him anywhere near the People's House.
It won't help Trump. There is a 6 month lockout period before he can sell or pledge shares for a loan.
In his case it sucks to have a windfall he can't touch.
ROTF! My son said the same thing this morning. The interpreter took the fall for Ohtani. I realize Ohtani makes a lot of money but $4M is a lot to lose sight of. Was the interpreter also reconciling his bank account?
I'm sure MLB and the Dodgers want this all to go away PDQ.
Kentucky’s no-good day
The first day of the men’s NCAA Tournament featured some juicy results. None were as shocking as No. 3 seed Kentucky’s stunning loss to No. 14 seed Oakland:
The Wildcats probably should’ve won this game, but what can you do when a bench player comes in and hits 10 3-pointers the way Jack Gohlke did? The Division II transfer who “looks like a high school history teacher,” per one teammate, saved the game of his life for the big stage. Hard to beat.
Zoom out, and Kentucky coach John Calipari might actually be in trouble. “Previously unfathomable questions have to be asked,” writes Kyle Tucker. The Wildcats’ last four seasons ended like this: missed NCAA Tournament, first-round exit, second-round exit, first-round exit. That’s not good enough at Kentucky.
Calipari’s buyout is $33 million, which may sound cheap to college football fans, but remains financially onerous. That number drops to $27 million after next season. Hm.
Kentucky wasn’t the only upset yesterday, either:
No. 11 seed Duquesne won the Lame Duck Coach title, beating sixth-seeded BYU to extend coach Keith Dambrot’s career (Dambrot is retiring after the season). Long Beach State coach Dan Monson’s post-firing tenure ended after a loss to No. 2 seed Arizona.
Two other No. 11 seeds — Oregon and NC State — won their games yesterday against South Carolina and Texas Tech, respectively. A Clemson loss to New Mexico today would mean all four No. 6 seeds fell in the first round this year.
