@dim kettle I refuse to believe this is real https://youtu.be/2nt3Q7lCcmg?si=WI7eP1DeUDjZxs13

[dim kettle]

All about the context. Right after their first WS/post season appearance

[desert palm]

I just never thought in a 1 million years that the Rays actually had an anthem at one point

[fallen portal]

Is this real 😭

[desert palm]

Yes

[dim kettle]

Cleveland. 💀

[short flame]

How old is that

[dim kettle]

Fucking Margaret Whiting. That's gotta be like the late 40s.

[short flame]

Never heard of her

I’m sure it’s better than some of the names higher on the list

[celest zephyr]

More proof the nfl is scripted

[short flame]

Clearly written by oda

[celest zephyr]

1948 lol

For the leafs it was the Beatles

[short flame]

Look it’s clearly Kelce and his coach

Proof that it’s scripted

[short flame]

That’s very based

Well done leafs

[short flame]

Oh yeah international break coming

My favourite time

[hasty basin]

Tomorrow...

Can't even sleep today cos of it

[short flame]

When is your game?

Must be stressing with the qualifiers

[hasty basin]

9 PM my time no idea when for other timezones

21st

Of March

[hasty basin]

Yes a lot lol

More than my finals exams for uni 😭

[short flame]

Same, have an exam on friday right after there’s a Colombia friendly against Spain

And I’m stressed sure for the exam but also how am I going to make it in time for the game

Do I leave halfway through it’s killing me inside

[honest umbra]

yea id leave halfway

[hasty basin]

Oof

Depends how much you want that exam

I tried getting the ticket for Georgia game

Pretty quickly as well

[honest umbra]

did u get it?

[short flame]

I can leave 15 minutes early if I want to make it in time for the national anthem

Which should be enough

But still I don’t want to fail but Colombia owns me

It’s painful

[hasty basin]

I was 40 thousandth in the list of people

It took 5 hours for 10 thousands to come round

And by then

[short flame]

I haven’t missed a game in over 10 years

[hasty basin]

Every ticket had gone

😭

I only have 1 friend who managed to get it

[honest umbra]

what about 3rd partty?

[hasty basin]

Because he IMMEDIATELY got it

[hasty basin]

Awful spots for insane prices

[short flame]

I even watched a game during my high school graduation

[hasty basin]

The demand is high so

Lol

[short flame]

I can’t miss a game

https://tenor.com/view/luffy-crying-luffy-crying-one-piece-one-piece-luffy-gif-24908332

[hasty basin]

Instead will be watching in the uni campus room with around 50 people

Won't be bad, last time when it didn't even matter I almsot went deaf from the screams

So

[short flame]

That’s still a nice option

Enjoy the game

[hasty basin]

Thing is

[short flame]

I’ll get together with my cousins

[hasty basin]

The finals will sell out even quicker if we do make it

[short flame]

Like we’ve done for the past decade

[short flame]

Maybe for that one you can get tickets

[hasty basin]

I'll try lol

In a survey at The Athletic on fan optimism, the #Angels ranked 26th.

Only 15.6% of fans expressed optimism, down from 81.1% last year and 71.4% in 2022.

Safe to say, Angels fans are mad.

Oh do you have the complete stats?

[desert palm]

I wish I did but the athletic is a subscription thing that I don’t have

Sad

[fallen portal]

They get more and more disappointing every year I stg , the jets of the mlb

At least we’ll never be as bad as colorado lmao

[short flame]

Do you also struggle with attendance?

[desert palm]

I mean without Ohtani now it’s possible they will but I don’t know

The Angels are pretty liked in Anaheim and I don’t think they’ve ever had that much attendance issues

[desert palm]

The brewers have skids I’m not gonna lie

Sometimes they have struggling attendance and sometimes it’s pretty good. It’s really dependent on how they are in the season.

[short flame]

Oh that’s nice it’s just I’ve heard the jets have had very bad numbers this season

[short flame]

That’s unfortunate, I like to support the clubs in good and bad times

[desert palm]

I respect that

[short flame]

Cali has been on the worst time in our history for the past 3 years

And we still have the biggest number of fans in the stadium every game

[desert palm]

Have you ever seen the Ballpark?

[short flame]

No what is that?

Oh is it the stadium?

[desert palm]

Yeah

[short flame]

I’ve seen it

[desert palm]

Ballpark is colloquial for stadium in baseball

[short flame]

Was part of the decision for following the club

[dim kettle]

https://fixupx.com/ThomasWrrld/status/1770254877324607770?s=20

[desert palm]

Yay……

The postseason that isn’t

According to the NBA

[short flame]

I gave the ballpark a 0/10

[desert palm]

All the other things were so much higher that you picked the Brewers

Wow

You’re not a fan of the fan design?

[short flame]

That’s the most basketball stat I’ve ever seen

[hasty basin]

Wishing Goga all the best

[short flame]

I gave more than a few 0s to ballparks

Rockies got a 6, mariners a 4 and the 3 others 0

[desert palm]

I remember you gave the mascot like a terrible rating for the Rockies

[short flame]

The brewskis main points came from the name and mascot

[desert palm]

Ahhhhhh

[short flame]

Unless it’s a rock it’s getting 0

False advertisement

[desert palm]

Lololol

Imagine

I believe they picked the dinosaur because they found dinosaur remains when they were building the stadium

[short flame]

4/10

[desert palm]

Like straight up at groundbreaking

[short flame]

I gave 1 a 0

[desert palm]

It was really I was about to pray for your soul when the Rockies were like a hair away of being picked

But then the Brewers came out on top

[short flame]

SOP I forget what team that is

[desert palm]

Well, I believe it was between five different teams

you wanted one that did not win the World Series

So it was the Padres, Mariners, Brewers, Rockies, and Rays

SanJuan opening day is about a week away

Tomorrow morning the first MLB, regular season games will start in Korea

[short flame]

Oh it’s a SDP

That must be the padres

[desert palm]

Yep

[short flame]

They’re in San Diego?

[desert palm]

Yep

[short flame]

Yeah ugly mascot

[short flame]

Yup I don’t want to bandwagon

[short flame]

Oh nice, it falls during international break but maybe the following week

[desert palm]

The Brewers will be facing off the Mets in New York on the 28th that is opening day

However, I do recommend tomorrow’s game because it should be very fun

Dodgers versus Padres

In Korea no less

And it’s a regular season game, so it’s like official official

Other than that, I remember I sent you the schedule you don’t have to follow it strictly

Whatever games peak your interest is what you could watch

If you want to, up to you of course

[short flame]

Yeah I’ll try to watch a couple of course, I don’t really like watching baseball that much but since I now have a team I can at least catch a couple games a season

[desert palm]

👍

[short flame]

I don’t know if I asked you this before but is there any condensed games in baseball?

[desert palm]

Yes!!!

A couple hours after every game on the MLB YouTube channel

[short flame]

Oh I’d watch that

[short flame]

That’s what I’m going to watch then

I love watching that for snooker

12 hours games condensed into 1 hour videos without missing any of the action

[desert palm]

Example video

https://youtu.be/0YJF8EgN0vk?si=pmvHVDMt_1pFMj-M

[silk pine]

what team?

[desert palm]

He picked the brewers

He almost kicked the Rockies based on his points system, and I was about to have a heart attack

[short flame]

Why are they celebrating?

[desert palm]

This was the game where because even though they lost a different team lost that same day and because that team lost, they clinch a playoff spot

By winning the division

[silk pine]

man speaking of baseball this is gonna be a very bittersweet season depending on how my team does

[desert palm]

Which team is this again?

[silk pine]

terry francona retired so we have a new coach

[desert palm]

Oh, you’re a guardians fan

[silk pine]

guardians

[short flame]

But I see the score at 4-1 for the other team

[desert palm]

Wow

Rare sight on discord

[silk pine]

yea noone is a cleveland sports fan by choice

[desert palm]

I clarified in my previous message

Sorry for the confusion

[desert palm]

I’m sorry to say this, but

[fleet orbit]

Whose the smooth brain who put Virginia in the tournament

This is fucking garbage

[short flame]

Oh ok playoffs qualifying

[desert palm]

“you’ll have an October to remember!”

[short flame]

Talking about that I forgot the sabres are playing

[silk pine]

[short flame]

1-0 down already

[silk pine]

why would you say this

i would love to take a time machine back 10 years to watch a young lindor play again

[desert palm]

OK that’s legitimately, sad

If it helps, your World Series is one of the best ones this past decade

2016 is very memorable

[silk pine]

ive rewatched that game 7 many times

[desert palm]

Dude, the back-and-forth is insane

[silk pine]

ive never felt more excitement than when davis hit that homer to tie the game off Chapman

i literally cried

[dim kettle]

🎵 Cry for the Indians, oh. Die for the Indians🎵

[silk pine]

the only saving grace is that the team to win against us for the world series is arguably the only team i cant even be upset at

[short flame]

Your list from before says their last one was in the 40s no?

[desert palm]

Well, they lost in 2016

[silk pine]

world series win

[desert palm]

But they made it there

[silk pine]

we lost the one we went to in 2016

[desert palm]

1948 was the last time they won the World Series

[silk pine]

absolutely choked unbelievably

[desert palm]

Cleveland history is about choking and like it was expected

[dim kettle]

Not only lost a WS. They blew a 3-1 series lead.

[short flame]

[desert palm]

@silk pine by the way, I was listening on the radio when Josh Naylor rocked the baby

[dim kettle]

2016 - The year of the choke.

[silk pine]

wasnt that also the year the cavs won though

[desert palm]

OK besides that

[silk pine]

i dont care for basketball so i dont remember

[dim kettle]

Yeah it was.

[desert palm]

From my understanding, you guys still have really good pitching depth

[dim kettle]

Mayve they'll do decent in the AL Comedy Central.

[silk pine]

i dont watch as much of the indians as i used to but we have a few people that are fun to watch/root for but the team is extremely young and we have nothing but people who hit singles

i expect we wont be back to a WS for a long time

[desert palm]

Jram is fantastic

[silk pine]

can barely push the playoffs anymore

[chilly flare]

2016 the cubs and the Cavs came back from 3-1. What an incredible sports year man

[desert palm]

You know, he said that so many other teams went for much higher contracts for him, and he turned them all down for the guardians contract

[silk pine]

i love Jram, Naylor is great, Kwan is also kinda the young bright spot of the future with how hes been

[dim kettle]

Then the Falcons blew that 25 point lead to begin 2017 to basically end the year of the choke.

[chilly flare]

And Leicester won the PL in 2015-2016 season

[silk pine]

yup jose is a lifer hopefully

[desert palm]

He loves the city and he loves the team. I don’t think he’s leaving honestly

[silk pine]

i wish lindor would have stayed but honestly hes had a pretty rough career since he left

[desert palm]

He’s like Altuve for the guardians

[silk pine]

lot of injury time i believe

[desert palm]

Woah

I don’t think that’s really true honestly

21 Was his only rough year.

22 and 23 he was a fantastic shortstop

[silk pine]

i know he did good last year i thought other than that he didnt do very well or was out a lot

he was always a great defender no question, i thought when he first went to the mets he wasnt batting very well

i also dont watch mets or keep up with loads of teams so i could be wrong too

[desert palm]

I get that, but I will just say this right now

[dim kettle]

It was rough for him at first in 2021. I remember when he was playing at the Trop in June in 2021, the dude looked helpless defensively.

[desert palm]

Francisco Lindor at his current age, has similar stats to Derek Jeter when Jeter was the same age

And unlike Derek Jeter, he is a big plus defender

Granted, Jeter aged amazingly well until like his last two season

We will see what happens with Lindor

[silk pine]

oh yea lindor is amazing just thought he started to taper off for a bit when he went to the mets from things i saw, like i said i know last year he did pretty well

i would like him to do well hes one of the best players weve had in my generation no doubt

[dim kettle]

Like Derek Jeter except he's on the LOLMETS. Which at this rate could have the Four Emperors playing for them and still end up only winning 80-85 games.

[desert palm]

Literally

Who are the Yonko in baseball?

[chilly flare]

Mets have somehow played in a WS more recently than the Yankees 😭😭😭😭

[silk pine]

ohtani is one

probably trout

[desert palm]

You don’t have to mention these things it’s OK for me to not remember what happened in the past few ALCS’s

[desert palm]

I want to say Cole

With Ohtani

Mookie betts

[chilly flare]

Yankees still feel so far away from a WS

[dim kettle]

Ronald Acuña be up there?

[desert palm]

We were up the Astros 3-2 in 2017 😭

[silk pine]

for sure acuna too prob

[desert palm]

Yeah

Definitely

[chilly flare]

This was 7 years ago

[dim kettle]

You could argue Judge too.

[silk pine]

also judge yea

[short flame]

Matsuzka, fujinami and tanaka

[desert palm]

I’m really worried that he’s not gonna garner enough stats by the time he retires to make the Hall of Fame

[silk pine]

who

[desert palm]

He would have so easily if he did not get injured constantly

Judge

He’s been too injured too often

[chilly flare]

Baseball HoF is a joke anyways

The writers suck

[desert palm]

It’s not a joke in the sense that it is the most prestigious one

But it is a joke in the sense that the writers can be really stupid when it comes to how finicky they are

[dim kettle]

The NFL and MLB have something in common then

[desert palm]

Don’t compare the NFL

That’s a hall of quarterbacks and running backs

[silk pine]

and wide receivers

[chilly flare]

Barry bonds not being in the HoF is a travesty and I don’t really care how people feel about steroids

[desert palm]

@chilly flare if Giancarlo Stanton ends up having 500 home runs by the end of his career do you think he will become a Hall of Famer?

[hidden rampart]

They both use sticks to hit an object!

[short flame]

Same for the billiards hall of fame

[dim kettle]

Those people pretending like every player didn't take steroids back then. Some just got caught.

[desert palm]

Huh

How

NFL has no stick

[hidden rampart]

Oh whoops I confused it with NHL

[desert palm]

😂

[hidden rampart]

That’s real embarrassing

[silk pine]

neither sports allows heavy physical contact anymore?

[short flame]

Ronnie has been #1 9 times in his career, 41 ranking tournaments and holds pretty much every record imaginable yet it took until this week to finally get inducted into the HOF

[chilly flare]

Would I put him in the HoF? No. Could he get in? Maybe but doubt it

[dim kettle]

Hey, at least they allow some defense still in the NFL. The NBA can't say the same thing.

[desert palm]

There are about four players in the Hall of Fame that some people suspect did steroids, but there’s really no conclusive evidence

[chilly flare]

I’ve never seen Rob in the sports channel lol

[desert palm]

Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and Ivan Rodriguez

[dim kettle]

It's not conclusive but you wouldn't be surprised either if they did.

[desert palm]

One person told me he thinks Cal Ripken Junior did, but it’s not a consensus

[short flame]

That’s the icy one, the nfl is the one where they throw the giant egg and run into each other

[desert palm]

And baseball is the one where you hit a small egg and run across a diamond

[dim kettle]

Or in the Yanks case, don't hit the ball and strike out for 9 innings.

[chilly flare]

Pain

I really like analytics

[desert palm]

Me too

[silk pine]

https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-fame/future-eligibles out of all the 2025 eligibles its gotta be Ichiro right?

[chilly flare]

But sometimes you just gotta get some regular base hits man

[desert palm]

Not even a question

[dim kettle]

When you're a Rays fan you basically live for the analytics.

[chilly flare]

The rays starting games with their relief pitchers so their starting pitchers didn’t have to face the top 3 hitters 3 times was genius and also disgusting and I hated it

[desert palm]

Most probably Ichiro and CC from new eligible players, there’s a possible chance Billy Wagner will also be a Hall of Famer

[silk pine]

i was also thinking CC too

[desert palm]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-fuck-world-series-oh-man-mad-upset-gif-19017160

Never forget

By the way, I think the rays being as popular as they are in the online world is only because of how analytical they are

[dim kettle]

I'll always defend Cash on that. It was a damn if you do and damn if you don't scenario.

[desert palm]

How is it possible that the rays have one of the biggest discord servers of all MLB teams,

They’re only marginally smaller than the Mets

Discord

[simple seal]

Damn

On Reddit they have one of the smallest team servers

[dim kettle]

Well, a lot of us came there when we were protesting against Reddit last year. I know a few people from that reddit page on the discord server.

[desert palm]

You can’t tell me 1100 people joined the discord server because of a Reddit protest

That’s more than the Orioles discord server, and only a few hundred less than the Mets

[dim kettle]

If I were to guess, probably a hundred of us joined.

[desert palm]

By the way, over exaggerate a little bit on being similar to the Yankees, but still

The Rockies has 70 people in comparison

Including me

😭

Why did I pick the Rockies as my NL Team

[dim kettle]

But it's not fun talking with those guys on the discord server. Really, talking with fans during GDT is not fun. Nobody can talk rationally during and after the game.

[silk pine]

thats a lot of fans

[desert palm]

That’s literally every single fandom

lol

Try to talk to Yankee sometimes after a bad game

Even me, it’s not pretty sometimes

[silk pine]

your team is losing a game or has lost the game and 80% of the fanbase is on fire saying sell the team

[desert palm]

The owner legitimately said that if the deal in St. Petersburg falls through, he might sell the team and he said that he cannot guarantee that whoever he sells to won’t keep the team over there in Florida

[silk pine]

or youre a fan of a shit team and you knew going into the season it would be a dumpster fire and youre there for the memes

[desert palm]

Literally, the Pirates

Freaking Yinzers

[rustic ore]

Forever and always, Fuck $tu 😃

[dim kettle]

That one guy during the WC series is always gonna live in my head rent free for funny reasons. Like, the most copium I've seen in a GDT. "I can't with people talking about the playoff stats." And then attacks me because I had a Bolts tag on my username.

[silk pine]

as a fellow Pennsylvanian, i dont claim the yinzers

[desert palm]

Bruh

lol

[silk pine]

[desert palm]

Do you live closer to Pittsburgh or closer to Philadelphia?

[short flame]

Me with every one of my teams

Except that I keep getting my hopes up every year

[silk pine]

im as far northeast as you can get in PA basically

[short flame]

And keep getting destroyed

[desert palm]

So that’s closer to Philadelphia

philly is legit like a 7 hour drive

pitts about 2 hours or so away

[desert palm]

OK, so yeah you’re not too far away from the Yinzers

[silk pine]

also about 2 hours from cleveland

[desert palm]

@dim kettle one of these years the Pirates will make the playoffs during trees YouTube tenure and we’re gonna have yinzer mode for the Pirates

[dim kettle]

I would sometimes enter their Reddit GDT for friendly banter and they were actually kinda chill not gonna lie. Red Sox fans and Angel fans though. Shit, man. How to lose tons of karma in one comment.

[desert palm]

I don’t understand Red Sox fans

They won the World Series in 2018 and now they act like it’s the end of the world

Beating us getting there in fact

I was so pissed in that playoff run

That game where we gave up so many runs I was so livid

[silk pine]

typical red sox fans

[short flame]

Depends how far they’ve fallen

[desert palm]

Do you see nationals fans acting like the world is over because they’re tanking

[short flame]

Teams can fall off really fast

[desert palm]

That’s 100% true but at the same time the reaction from the fanbase is ridiculous

[silk pine]

yea but the red sox were a top end team for like half of most peoples lives here probably

[dim kettle]

It's just the Boston mentally.
Be Toxic ✅
Be Racist For No Reason. ✅

[desert palm]

Freaking these bostoners are so spoiled

They feel so entitled because of their amazingness during the 2000s and 2010s decades

[silk pine]

the only thing i enjoyed was watching the red sox lose and seeing Kevin Youkolis give his bat a handjob every time he stepped in the batters box

never seen a batting motion

funnier than that

[desert palm]

“The Greek GOD of Walks” Billy Beane in Moneyball book

And also, he’s Jewish, which is awesome as a Jewish person

[dim kettle]

Now the Yanks and Red Sox rivalry is just Cowboys vs Giants. Only a reminder that it used to be good.

[desert palm]

The end of it was 2018 and it fell off since

The Joe Kelly versus Tyler Austin

First Jomboy breakdown I ever watched in 2018 I didn’t even realize it was Jomboy until more recently when I discovered him

[dim kettle]

The Rays and Yanks have had more beef the last 5-6 years and the media will still think the Sox and Yanks are close and close the best.

[silk pine]

the jomboy blowup is honestly crazy

[desert palm]

The new AL East rivalry that probably will exist for the next few years is definitely the Orioles versus Yankees

[silk pine]

its nice seeing the orioles doing good

[desert palm]

I can see Orioles fans re bringing up the famous home run

In the 90s in the ALCS

[dim kettle]

The O's are what the White Sox should've been. 😭

[silk pine]

i hate the white sox since they are in my division but ever since tim anderson joined i have a genuine despise for them

i cannot stand him

Jram blessed the world last season

[dim kettle]

He's in Miami now

[silk pine]

oh

good

jram knocked his ass out and made him leave town

I'll always remember TA7 started the 2022 spring training by saying he wanted to be the best SS in the league and then started the 2022 season being one of the worst shortstops.

But, man, seeing the decline of TA7 is like as Tree would put it, "Like seeing Fred Rogers dying on repeat"

[desert palm]

@dim kettle you in 10 years

https://youtu.be/jYGxY5icxjc?si=5i064griIGYVpMmQ

[dim kettle]

I'll be seeing him again in 2038

[dim kettle]

This year is already hell for the Sox. Losing players left and right even play-by-play guys aren't safe from leaving the Sox.

[desert palm]

Yeh

[dim kettle]

I'll always remember that 2021 walkoff in the field of dreams and remember what it was suppose to be.

[silk pine]

he called clevinger a locker room cancer and terrible person? what the hell happened besides clevinger's bs in the pandemic times

[dim kettle]

Now watch the Sox win enough to not get a top 5 pick:

[silk pine]

i thought they do a lottery pick system

[dim kettle]

That's what I mean.

Just to end up with like the 9th-10th pick.

[silk pine]

all i know is my team got the 1st pick and its not gonna change a thing

Love to see it

[thorn hornet]

Tomi signed a new deal

Need him more than ever now for these last few games

[weak gull]

Already in mid season form fr

[desert palm]

The game is 2-1

you rarely see a sac double play

But it happened today

And we’re going to top of the fifth

[fleet orbit]

Indiana state would’ve been competitive last night , Virginia was awful

[fleet orbit]

Not only that but the committee was gonna leave New Mexico out if they didn’t win the mountain west tournament and that disgusts me

No he's not

237/486 games the past 3 seasons two of those seasons under 83 games played

[desert palm]

I think the trout dominance era is over but I don’t think that he’s washed

Also, the game is two to one Padres

Close game

Padres bullpen has been heavily utilized

Jhony Brito is pitching @chilly flare

[amber grove]

I'm not calling him washed

Just not saying he's underrated

He's perfectly rated for a guy who hasn't played 120+ games since 2019

Brito is ass

[desert palm]

Bases loaded

Robert Suarez definitely coming in

[desert palm]

[amber grove]

Tie game

Way to blow this game dummy

[desert palm]

Yep

Tie game

[desert palm]

Now he’s probably coming in

[hasty basin]

Congrats 🫡

Deserved a bigger job tbf

[desert palm]

Never mind Adrian morejon

That was terrible fielding moment

They’re saying that the glove broke

Glove broke

Wow

[amber grove]

Dodgers lead smh

[desert palm]

That would’ve been a double play

4-2

Ohtani base hit 5-2

[amber grove]

Nah Padres I'm disgusted

[desert palm]

Former brave up at bat

Still shocked that he is a Dodger

[amber grove]

Padres collapse

[desert palm]

And Padres just messed up like crazy

Xander on base 123 outs afterwards

[amber grove]

Padres fans gotta be in pain

[desert palm]

And the only reason why they’re down three runs is because of a glove malfunction

😬

[chilly flare]

How’d he do?

[desert palm]

…………

Let’s just say I hope he is better next time

[chilly flare]

Lmaooo

Padres are cursed

I appreciate that they went all in last year (or 2 years)

The Los Angeles Dodgers fire Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's long-time interpreter.
Mizuhara was accused by Ohtani's attorneys of engaging in a “massive theft” of Ohtani's funds to place bets with an illegal bookmaker, according to the LA Times.

[chilly flare]

Dude had a great job and just ruined it

[short flame]

We’ve lost 5 players

[desert palm]

I feel really bad for Shohei

But technically speaking, his contract had a clause that if ownership changes general manager changes and even his personnel changes he can opt out after the season

Personnel changes include interpreter

[desert palm]

My mistake. Apparently a lot of people misread it.

Yes, there is a clause that enables Shohei Ohtani to opt out due to changes in personnel.

No, that clause does not include Ippei. It only applies to Andrew Friedman and Mark Walter.

[fallen portal]

Group for what ?

[austere lava]

ippei….

how could you

[desert palm]

From my understanding, he had a gambling problem

He was 4 1/2 million dollars in debt

And Shohei was actually willing to cover the money for him based on the current articles about this whole topic, both from ESPN and the LA times

He did not know it was illegal according to him

His statement is that Shohei was not involved at all with the gambling

And Shohei camp is alleging that ippei was using Ohtani’s money doing these transactions

https://x.com/honestopns/status/1770576396634718573?s=46

Per ESPN, Ippei addressed the clubhouse after the game and admitted he has a crippling gambling addiction

The logos are attached to the teams !

[short flame]

Oh perfect

Building my brackets then

[fleet orbit]

That pick for me myself almost felt too easy

[weak gull]

Michigan was the most talented team that year in hindsight, they just didn’t slam the door shut

[fleet orbit]

Still will never forget the Trey Burke shot against Kansas

2019 and 2021 I got those correct on my own with Virginia and Baylor but the brackets were pretty mid in total

This Ohtani news is just lol

[slow violet]

whats the news?

His now former team translator allegedly was stealing his money to fuel his gambling addiction

[slow violet]

but not any of his new big contract right?

[rustic ore]

All I've read is the dumb bastard is 4.5 mil in the hole

[slow violet]

yikes

Bruh WTF lol

translators don't even make that much in a lifetime

[hasty basin]

4.5M ☠️

[desert palm]

It’s gets more confusing

[chilly flare]

I made my picks

[desert palm]

Initial story was that Shohei was helping him pay off his debt

[chilly flare]

Good luck to everybody

I hope it is pure madness

[desert palm]

Then it was change to Shohei knew nothing of the gambling

[robust grotto]

What a crazy story man

[desert palm]

Sports gambling is illegal in California so the broker was an illegal broker

Some people are saying that Ippei is the fall man and that Shohei has a gambling addiction

That is probably conspiracy though

I guess the reason why the lawyer spun it, that he stole Shohei money is probably because if that wasn’t the story, then it would be that Shohei voluntarily paid off a illegal broker

To help out ippei

[short flame]

It all makes sense

Got on the plane to Toronto lost a bet so had to fly back to la for the bigger contract

[desert palm]

Lololol

Definitely not the case

[short flame]

[desert palm]

I don’t think the MLB will punish Shohei

The US government might punish him, but it really depends on the severity of everything

[rustic mountain]

Awe why not

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-kitten-annoyed-irritated-tantrum-gif-13045775

[desert palm]

Because he didn’t gamble

Or at least most probably

[rustic mountain]

Lame

[desert palm]

And also, it’s not like Pete rose who gambled on MLB games as a manager

The official story is that Ippei did every other sport

Not baseball

[short flame]

His translator did it for him it’s the same thing

[short flame]

They can’t gamble on other sports?

[desert palm]

Sports gambling is illegal in California San Juan

[rustic ore]

I mean he's been in LA for a couple years now, I'm pretty sure he'd know sports betting is illegal in Cali and wouldn't risk it

[desert palm]

His personality doesn’t seem like the gambling type

That’s why I don’t hold of the Michael Jordan conspiracy with this

[rustic mountain]

A man can dream

[desert palm]

But I could believe the original story of trying to help out Ippei without realizing that it’s illegal

I don’t believe the second story that he didn’t know anything though

[desert palm]

And ippei paid off debt with Shohei money himself

[desert palm]

They were very close friends

[short flame]

So would his translator yet here we are. I’m not saying he did but it would be an interesting outcome

[desert palm]

That is the whole topic of discussion

[proud coyote]

ban ohtani FOR LIFE

[rustic mountain]

HELL YEAH JUBA

[short flame]

Wait he’s been in LA a long time? Did he join the dodgers from a city rival?

[rustic ore]

What if he decided he wanted to be with the Giants?

[desert palm]

Yes, technically

[proud coyote]

LA has two teams but i wouldnt call them rivals

[rustic ore]

Yeah he played for the LA Angels before the Dodgers

[short flame]

Oh hell no that’s the real crime

[desert palm]

Also, one of them isn’t in LA

It’s Anaheim

[proud coyote]

then I might as well get struck by lightning cause it aint happening

lol

[rustic mountain]

Anaheim is in LA

[rustic ore]

What's stopping you from getting struck by lightning?

[short flame]

Do they not have city rivalries in baseball?

[desert palm]

It’s in the Metropolitan area but it’s a different city

[rustic ore]

Don't let your dreams be memes

[desert palm]

Hundred percent they do, but depends on the city

[rustic ore]

I mean Boston and NY do

[rustic mountain]

It looked like the rest of it when I was there

It was LA

[desert palm]

Queens and Bronx have massive beef

But when the team is the angels, there is no competition lol

[proud coyote]

city rivalries are impeded by the fact that they split the teams between leagues, so they don't play too often and only meet in the world series. They used to be more prominent

back when the MLB didn't split

for example, the brooklyn dodgers and new york giants were in the same league

[short flame]

But still it’s a city rival. I don’t like it

[proud coyote]

but both teams moved

[desert palm]

They used to not play at all and then they started to play occasionally in the 90s and 2000s and now with the most recent schedule they played every year

[desert palm]

The Mets and Yankees have massive beef

[proud coyote]

they used to USED to be in the same division, but yes, the only actual city rivalry left is mets/yanks

[desert palm]

The Dodgers look at the angels as if they are so bad that there’s no competition

[short flame]

@rustic mountain I’m joining you on the shohei hate gang

[desert palm]

No, no no

It was always split between the American League and National League

[rustic mountain]

Ohtani going to basically the same place is the least of his terribleness but I'll take it

[proud coyote]

brooklyn dodgers/ny giants were not split

[desert palm]

Oh, you’re talking about the Dodgers and Giants like from the prospect and I thought you meant something else

[proud coyote]

cubs and white sox don't care about eachother, A's fans hate the Giants but not a single Giants fan cares about them, Dodgers fans feel bad for the Angels

it's just mets yanks

[short flame]

Personally if one of my players leaves I definitely want them to be as far away as possible and not a city rival

[desert palm]

Most probably he was trying to help out his friend Good friend mind you and he didn’t realize that helping him out is also illegal so his lawyers decided to change the story to make Ohtani look good.

[desert palm]

Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have massive beef

[proud coyote]

they're pretty damn far from eachother though

[rustic mountain]

Who cares, Ohtani ban pls

[proud coyote]

other side of the state

[desert palm]

Yeah, but like statewide rivalries are still a thing

[proud coyote]

it's basically like LA and SF

[short flame]

Yes please

[desert palm]

Yeah, but you know as well as I do that the Los Angeles and San Francisco beef is very real

Especially because they play in the same division in the same league

[proud coyote]

if ohtani never played again, I'd be sad for the sport

but man

would I laugh my ass off

which signifies the rivalry I guess

[desert palm]

He’s not getting a suspension I doubt it and I don’t even think he’s gonna be jailed

He’s probably gonna get a massive fine at most

[proud coyote]

yeah it's a miniscule chance. It'd be if he like

actively played a part in the gambling

I don't even think he'll get a fine as they'll probably exonerate him but it's federal so who really knows

[desert palm]

If he was gambling Jordan style, I would take back every word I said, but I don’t think he is

lol

[desert palm]

And because it’s federal, who knows how long this will take

[desert palm]

You gonna get your chance to boo him soon relax make sure you get the tickets early

i went through the five stages of grief with that one

He didn’t do anything to the Angels

[desert palm]

The angels were not going to pay him the money that he and his agent was asking plain and simple

[desert palm]

😂

[short flame]

Leave for city rivals

[desert palm]

Then, maybe that’s a little more fair

You guys gotta read the replies they’re so funny

Usually I heavily disagree with this guy, but he honestly makes very valid points

All these people saying things like "It's a crime either way"

Ichiro literally committed tax fraud in Japan while playing in MLB and was not imprisioned or suspended. To say Shohei would face anything more than a fine is ridiculous.

He ain't going to jail over this.

[rustic mountain]

Don't want jail

Just ban the dude

Would make my cold heart happg

Happy

[short flame]

Me too

Please

[desert palm]

@short flame the Brewers have a YouTube channel if you want to check it out

https://youtube.com/@brewers?si=_taTdCgxxEkijaI6

I will say that the highlights they post is the games they win, but they also post other stuff

Might be a good idea to check it out before the season starts to get some idea of the personalities of the players in the team

[short flame]

Thank you I’ll subscribe

[fleet orbit]

Love it !

March madness is my favorite postseason

[desert palm]

And if you want a good interview on one of your star players, this is a good one https://youtu.be/U639Oa9DU88?si=xIyjD1VqE1xbQK_j

The host is the former outfielder and now currently shortstop for the LA Dodgers Mookie Betts

[chilly flare]

Same here. Elite content. Elite theme song. Vibes are immaculate. Best 3 weeks of the year

[desert palm]

And the Bain of me and @chilly flare for 2018

[fleet orbit]

Do you have a favorite team ?

[chilly flare]

I do like mookie though

[desert palm]

Me too

Still hurts

Though

[desert palm]

Cap

Reds have not won postseason since 95

They’ve appeared after the angels and tigers, but I have not won one since 95

[dim kettle]

They haven't won a series but won a game in 2012

[chilly flare]

I grew up loving big East basketball so I’ve always had an affinity for Syracuse, St. John’s, UConn, and Georgetown

[fleet orbit]

Ah the classic big east

[chilly flare]

So no like one favorite but any team that was a part of the classic big east conference I root for

[fleet orbit]

I miss when Syracuse was good

[robust grotto]

Honestly yeah. Sorry I’m late here lol. I was bummed for sure, the thing with that was the news of the signing broke at like 3 AM

So legitimately everyone here on the east woke up to that news

[chilly flare]

2-3 zone would be a menace for teams in the tournament

[desert palm]

I did not know they want to get the Giants twice in that series in 2012

I stand corrected

[desert palm]

Yeah I remember

I was dying at the whole Correa saga

[dim kettle]

Had to crawl back to Big Time Rush land

[fleet orbit]

It’s hard to prepare for it

[desert palm]

It is BIG TIME RUSH land

Good call

Shohei Ohtani has always bet on himself – and it’s about to reap huge rewards.

God damnit, CNN

[chilly flare]

Also, because UConn won it last year I’m probably rooting for all the underdogs/cinderella stories (like usual) and Marquette

[fleet orbit]

I wouldn’t hate seeing UConn lose , I honestly think Auburn is dangerous

Auburn is very good

[chilly flare]

Auburn is one of the few teams I think could beat UConn

They could definitely come out of that side of the bracket

[short flame]

Nah only one team can win this

[fleet orbit]

If Purdue doesn’t choke they are one of those teams

[short flame]

The jackrabbits

[fleet orbit]

Kentucky too

[chilly flare]

Teams like Purdue and Arizona are usually good bets to not make the elite 8 or sweet 16 as high seeds

[fleet orbit]

With teams like Nevada and New Mexico as land mines , Arizona and Baylor aren’t safe

I’m unusually high on New Mexico

[robust grotto]

as in lolmets

[dim kettle]

Meet the Mets-

[robust grotto]

step right up and

[desert palm]

Cream the Mets

Bring your Kiddies, bring your wife, guaranteed to get a divorce that night

[robust grotto]

Sigh

Deserved I suppose

[short flame]

They didn’t invite me

I was also a jets player

[dim kettle]

They just didn't.

[dim kettle]

Like, he can't be saying that directly after the Bucs humiliated them in the playoffs.

[chilly flare]

So am I but I have Baylor squeaking past them (I hope New Mexico wins)

[hasty basin]

Harden contested Kawhi's shot 😭😭😭

[sweet tree]

he thought he was bron

lol kawhi looked pissed

[shy harbor]

Bears are dumb, fields would’ve been their future if he had good enough of an o-line to actually throw the ball.

i see the steelers making it far now

@fleet orbit is it okay if I make more than 1 bracket?

I didn’t know if we doing doing a friendly competition with 1 bracket or not

[desert palm]

This is a wack game

[fleet orbit]

You can do a 2nd I changed it

[desert palm]

Both starters gave up 5 ER’s

And the score is 11-8 padres

12-8 now

[chilly flare]

Because I slept on it and now I want to change some things so I wanted to do a second bracket lol

[desert palm]

The game is now 12-11 Padres?!??

Top of the 9th

This game is on crack

[honest umbra]

Mookie has 6 rbis

He’s the goat

[desert palm]

Crazy game for him

[honest umbra]

Wants another run at the MVP

we seriously gotta consider benching muncy man, his offense doesn’t seem to be worth his defense

[short flame]

It’s a back to back in Korea?
