MY MOTHER WAS A TAILOR! SHE SEWED MY NEW BLUE JEANS!! MY FATHER WAS A GAMBLING MAN! Down in New Orleans.

An automated strike zone should only be used to supplement the human umpire and used for challenges

each team would be allowed to make one challenge to a call per inning, if the robo ump can confirm an incorrect call, then the team would retain the right to question another call that inning

if the robo ump confirmed the human umpire made the correct call, then the team would lose the right for more challenges until the next inning

No, fuck that. Take them out of the game completely. We have the technology to get it right, don't slow down the game with having to challenge a ball or a strike. Could you imagine that rule with Angel Hernandez behind the plate?

With how soft the umps are I could see them standing up to the technology and making wrong calls intentionally because they know teams are out of challenges. That'll show the robots!

Over these pansy ass human umps.

Oh man, that would totally happen. There's just no way you can give them shared responsibility with robo umps.

NOW THE ONLY THING THAT DAD EVER NEEDS...IS A SUITCASE AND A TRUNK!! AND, THE ONLY TIME THAT HE IS SATTISFIED, IS WHEN HE'S ON A DRUNK!

Glasnow's pitching was insane tonight, his location was so good.

Gonna watch Padres vs Cubs, hopefully get Bellinger to sign my grandmas jersey



God I feel so dirty

I know nothing on how these investigations work. The Feds saying he was taken by the interpreter means it's legit? Or they doing MLB a solid by just saying this? OR will there be a real investigation and the truth that he bet on...whatever comes out?

I think it's true that his interpretor was behind it personally. Ohtani seems like his total focus has always been on baseball, a baseball autist basically. His mom was managing his money I believe, limiting him to a strict budget from what I read.

Feds accuse Ohtani ex-interpreter of $16M theft

The former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani stole $16 million over more than two years from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts to an illegal sportsbook, according to an affidavit filed by federal authorities Thursday.

Mizuhara could still be falling on his sword to protect Ohtani. The article says he admitted to the bookie in a text that he had stolen from Ohtani which sure seems like a smoking gun, but the text was sent the same day that the story changed from Ohtani paying Mizuhara's debts to Mizuhara admitting he lied.

Seems like a stretch though. Even if you don't trust the integrity of the Federal investigators I doubt the MLB has so much clout that they could convince them to manufacture evidence to support a false confession by Mizuhara and ignoring or helping cover up evidence that it was actually Ohtani.

There's this one from the other day too. Angel is a menace lol.

Thank Christ someone drafted this guy in Fantasy Ball before I could.

CB Bucknor is praying they never fire Angel as he's #2.

So, no more updating on pitchers going down to elbow injuries in the style of Casino after this post, but I leave you gentleman with this:


However...
