Sorry for the Ohtani news, but seriously what the gently caress:

"On Thursday, a source close to Ohtani gave an explanation for the changing storylines: As Ohtani's handlers tried to determine what had happened, they initially relied solely on Mizuhara, who continued to translate for Ohtani"

Can you please ask Shohei why he wired this money to a bookie?
That is the funniest possible explanation for the story change, and thus I will believe it 100%

lmao that their best defense is "Ohtani is a dipshit who gave his translator access to his bank account and also knows so little English he didn't realize Ippei was just straight up lying and trying to say Ohtani was doing him a solid and in on it all, in direct contrast to previous statements that actually Ohtani knows quite a bit of English but for press purposes prefers an interpreter."

The true Josh James experience is walking 3 out of 6 batters and giving up 2 hits with a 99-100 mph fastball.

This is just sad.

Nibbling with the fastball and throwing sliders in the dirt until there are two men on or bases juiced then throwing one dead red for an XBH

lol Mizuhara's half-assed interpreting is going to come back and bite him in the rear end. All Ohtani's team needs to do is roll that interview footage and let Mizuhara's omissions and embellishments speak for themselves. He had a dream job and phoned it in to the point where it nearly looks malicious now.

It's insane that the biggest star in the game had such a mediocre interpreter when other players have interpreters who are worlds better. Maybe this incident will lead to the MLB providing better oversight or standards for interpreters, but lol it's Major League Baseball who am I kidding

Dude probably wouldn't have been in the hole so deep if he had just bet on the Angels to lose most of the time.

Yeah, yeah, he didn't bet on baseball but if you're gonna gently caress up you might as well gently caress up the easiest way possible.
