but now they will protect Shohei to protect those frick stick Dodgers


As long as he wasn’t blatantly throwing games, I’m fine with them protecting him.

That being said, if he’s protected, let Pete Rose free.

Pete has been in exile for decades! You can’t just say “ok, we will free Pete NOW because we can’t punish Ohtani and the Dodgers”

That’s horse shite! Now if you want to free Pete and give Ohtani a lesser punishment than you gave Pete……that’s a different conversation. But he should be suspended for at least a year……..but that won’t happen.

And if MLB is mot going to lift Pete’s…….then Ohtani needs a lifetime ban as well.

Nah, even if he was still playing straight up while betting on games, you can't protect him. That would create a hellacious slippery slope.

With that said, I still think the only thing he did wrong was directly wire money to an illegal bookie to cover Ippei's debts... and then did a terrible job of trying to cover it up after the fact. Morally, I don't think that is anywhere close to being as bad as him betting on games he played in.

Problem is that it's still a federal crime.
