    That’s actually more convincing than altuve wearing a buzzer

    I think believing in Santa Claus is easier than Altuve with a buzzer.

    Ohtani pitched this game and gave up 6 runs in 6 and a third.

    So a random unverified account on twitter with 90 followers has all sorts of inside info on multi-million dollar bets being made by a secret bookie in a small town in Japan?

    Yeah. It’s on the Internet therefore it’s definitely true. Most definitely. Like you know Beltran’s niece posting Altuve’s buzzer…

    So basically one person did something stupid and instead of thinking "hmmm, that was stupid so lets not do that," the logical course of action is "let's do more of that!"

    And then people wonder why the internet is a cesspool of stupidity.

    Who knows the truth. If the interpreter is shady as hell then who knows if he lied while interpreting to or for Ohtani when it served him best.

    oh I’m not denying the stupidity lol. It’s someone with way too much time on their hands. The feathers they’ve ruffled in the comments though is pretty funny.

    Just tell him to run for any political office and the rules will not apply to him. Just remember, YOU WERE BORN IN HAWAII.

    Seems the most likely scenario is he paid off his buddy’s gambling debts. But he also had to be involved in green lighting the bookie to keep letting him bet. Even in this scenario where Ohtani is just a bank, MLB should be looking at a massive suspension. Betting on baseball would turn the dial to 11.
