broken glove. lucky break are end

 

[snkrfollower]

Only caught the last inning but I'll go back and watch the whole game later today. Still on pace for an undefeated season

BlaQ's got a bruised lung? A little bleach bleach and horse paste should clear that right up, right?

 

[DsLee]

Ball went through the Crone Zone

 

[tupac003]

Just finished watching the game...

The ball going through his glove was comedy.

Gald we got the dub.

This story is so random and wild. He was supposed to be his BFF, say it ain’t so

 

[Benny Hinn]

No more photoshop pics. Double sleeves with the Dodger uniform just looks RIGHT

 

[eracism]

Damn Ippei, how did you screw that up. I wish I knew Japanese, I'd do right by the boy. Just put me up in a high rise in DTLA and give me a Tesla and I'll be there anytime, anywhere.

This is a pretty insane story if true. It always be your own people

As I get older I realize that most people that we call friends are really enemies

If you read the story it's clear that Shohei's lawyers told Ippei to take the fall himself on this one, though. It seems Shohei was good with covering Ippei's debts until he was told he had to cut ties.

Moral of this story, kids: Don't gamble what you can't afford

Yeah the ESPN story made it seem like Ohtani was aware of his gambling problem and was willing to pay the debts. Then the bookie was being investigated by the Feds and Ohtani’s attorneys got spooked that it would look like he was doing a Pete Rose.

Folks are already making the assumption Ippei is taking the fall that Ohtani is a degenerate

 

[frink85]

UCR don’t claim him anymore

 

[lawdog1]

The interpreter story reminds of the other instances I’ve heard about over the years when athletes, musicians, movie stars, etc. got ripped off by their personal business managers, people who they really trusted.

Some people get close to all that money belonging to someone else and start finding reasons why they are entitled to a bigger piece.

Probably happens more than we even know, TBH.

Story sounds mad fishy and not a good look for Ohtani

 

[DonCigaro]

Something doesn’t add up. Hopefully this isn’t a Bauer like situation where Ohtani is added to the exempt list. I doubt it though given he’s the face of the league.

 

[frink85]

sounds like they had to backtrack to state that Shohei and his bank account wasn't directly connected to the illegal bookie and degenerate Ippei takes the fall for his own eff up.

if the first story is legit though then why not just give the money to Ippei and have him pay off the bookie. a lot cleaner than what happened. makes me believe the embezzling.

ESPN story says Ohtani didn’t want to give Ippei directly the money because he was worried he would be gamble it away. Which is believable. Degenerate gamblers will definitely do that thinking this final bet will end the losing streak.

Maybe I’m just bias but Ohtani does not look like or come off as someone who is addicted to gambling. Ippei DEFINITELY does though He grew up in SGV. There are underground Asian casinos everywhere there

ahh good call by him. but should've used a third party then, I'm sure they know some clean white folks lol

and as an Asian man I can confirm that most of us are degenerate gamblers (myself included)

No one really knows Shohei, but this doesn’t fit how he moves at all. He’s not money-motivated, only cares about winning, and has been known to be the most boring guy outside of baseball.

Mans differed over $600M of income until a decade from now, why would he gamble for breadcrumbs? He seems like the naive type to really pay off his boy’s gambling debt without hesitation. Him transferring the money directly makes me give him the benefit of doubt, sneaky folks wouldn’t want that paper trail.

Wow didn’t know this about yall I agree Ohtani should have shot a third party some bread to make the payment.

I don't think he's a gambler but I can believe naivete. in that case somebody around him has to let him know that direct payments is shady business. go through Ippei or a third party.

he has to have a money manager or accountant or something. he has a personal assistant but...
