The clip must have picked the action up too late, in exactly what sense was Bogaerts not in the box and ready for the pitch?

Someone in the comments was saying that it was for calling a second time out, but I don't see him call for it

As a long-time Orioles fan I am glad to have no emotional stake in this Ohtani and Ippei were supposed to go into the hall together forever :negative:

Even if MLB isn't investigating you have to imagine the government will be, you'd think they would want to get ahead of it regardless of the outcome (he did it).

This scandal is simply too much for them on the field and will result in those plucky lovable defending NL champion DBacks to heroically only lose the division by 12 games

Hmm starting to think this Moreno feller doesn't know ball.

Moreno's correct, the actual present value of the contract (which is what matters, both for CBT and for actual worth) is more like 450M

Moreno is technically correct but also apparently too stupid to understand the time value of money and how deferred payments work

I was just checking up on that (Orioles fan; ignore av) and trying to decide how excited to be about the w/l and how down to be on Corbin's numbers. If it's anything like NFL preseason, I'd say ignore the points on the board but consider individual performances, but that's the worst possible lens for the O's so I want it to be something else.

Also, re: this Ohtani situation, Ippei really should stay in Korea if he stole the money, as Ohtani's team is alleging. I don't know when the team is supposed to come back to the USA, but if Ippei gets on the plane, I'd put that in the evidence column for the fall guy theory.

He's not getting on the team plane, he doesn't work there anymore

Ippei has probably already gone back to Japan, never again to return to the US.

Yes, good point. Well then it would be very foolish to go out of his way to buy his own ticket back to LA.

Ippei is American, he was born here and grew up in the LA area. He went to UC Riverside. If anything he can probably be more anonymous in LA than in Japan.

it's not great, but I am choosing to trust Burnes' history of being awesome and assume he will figure it out. I haven't seen anyone freaking out about his underlying statcast numbers or whatever
