    Yoshinobu Yamamoto signs with Dodgers for 12 years, 325M

    Could maybe have gone 7 today if a horrible missed 3rd strike call didn’t extend his 1st inning by 7-8 pitches or whatever it was. He’s throwing the curve a ton which isn’t something I remember from here, but if they’ve identified it as a plus pitch and more of a differentiator than his FB for...

    Are you both unfamiliar with schadenfreude?

    I thought a Maddux was defined as a CGSO on fewer than 100 pitches. How is it possible to throw a shutout and lose? edit: BRef tells me Sheets had 4 career shutouts, 1 in 2001 and 3 in 2008. None of them were Madduxes. I think you have your definition and/or search terms wrong.

    MLB suspends Trevor Bauer for 2 years with no pay

    She is. And on Taiwanese baseball, and in general. She is great and I've been following her for years. Singed indeed. He had a tweet yesterday or the day before saying he's signed to pitch for 5 games for the Mexican team and that he's got offers from several Japanese (mystery) teams. If he...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Yes, people think that. I'm not sure why at this point, but they do. If there was no discussion of sports betting, you'd have put it more clearly than, "did not contain any messages that discussed sports betting"?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    How are we all feeling about these takes now? I'm not looking for internet points, and the whole saga isn't yet put to bed so maybe more details could come out that do incriminate Ohtani, though that seems unlikely now. I'm just flagging them in the hopes that maybe in the future we won't be so...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    It's pretty far down the list of unfortunate things in this whole saga but one thing I keep thinking about is that Ippei was basically the best actual translator any of these guys has ever had.

    Ah I see, that makes sense — thanks to you both.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Sorry can you explain what you mean here — if the number was much higher, it is more likely to exonerate Ohtani? Or am I reading you wrong?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    You’re free to believe what you like, I just wanted to draw a distinction between saying there’s evidence Ohtani wired money as you did initially, and saying that money was wired from his account. The former is in dispute, the latter is not.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    If you’re going to tell him that he is making false statements, your wording should be better. Because it seems like we’re on the verge of all of Ohtani, Mizuhara, and various federal investigative bodies agreeing that Ohtani, in fact, did no such thing.

    I've got my tickets in hand for Yakult Swallows Opening Day, just a few hours from now and a few miles up the road, at historic Jingu Stadium. So it's time to get the annual thread rolling, though this a bit of a placeholder post. Jingu is, I believe, one of the last four stadiums still...
