Despite plenty of evidence demonstrating Shohei did NOT engage in any sports betting, and exoneration by federal investigators, there are still idiots who want to believe that he did, based on baseless “questions”.
Clearly they are too lazy to read the 37 page affidavit. It's all clear now, the "questions" they had were all answered in that affidavit. How did Shohei not know? How was Ippei, an interpreter, able to wire money from Shohei's account? What sport bookie would extend such credit? How did no one else know about the gambling? All the questions are answered in that affidavit. Michael Kay, Dave Samson, Jeff Passan, Chris Rose, and many others who were so eager to jump to dumb conclusions and make insinuations or accusations, owe Shohei an apology. They won't do it, though. They are either haters, racists or stupid.
@@omgbygollywow I totally agree with you. Those guys will never apologize including Pete Rose, it shows that they are the ones who are dirty disgusting person. No wonder Pete Rose was banned from baseball.

Thank you to Ben, Alex and the work team. Not only because of the Ohtani incident, you have maintained a neutral and fair attitude. This is the "clean" video we want to see.👍
Ben and Alex, you two are absolutely right from what you said 7:38. Thank you very much. Ohtani is innocent, he is honest, he is not dirty, he is clean, period. Most Japanese knew and believe he was clean from the start. Because we know he is not the type of person who uses money on gambles, since his NPB career started. Only the media and haters were trying to make him guilty.
@@tonyswe9463Ippei interpreted disrespectfully for Korea at last year's WBC by (intentionally or not) translating Otani's favorable comments about Korea. Since then, many Japanese, including myself, have become skeptical of Ippei's interpretation skills. In that sense, I feel very glad that Ippei has left Otani.
Ippei not only stole the money Shohei earned through his hard work at the Angels, but he also broke Shohei's heart and destroyed his reputation, which is a serious crime.
As a Dodgers fan I love the content you put out and the outlook you have on the game. I love that it's all about facts for you, and it's that way for all teams. We need more reporters and content creators to care a bit more about the facts when in comes to things like this.
It took me only 1 hour to read the affidavit. It's all documented extensively and clearly what transpired. No excuse to continually disparage or cast doubt on Shohei. If people made insinuations and accusations and cried out for answers, then they better take 1 hour to read the affidavit because every question they had was answered there. I am interested to see who will apologize to Shohei. They were so eager to post videos and make something out of nothing. I want to see the same energy they brought against Shohei with their accusations in apology videos.
Ben and Alex, thank you for always defending Shohei Ohtani. It's the most heartbreaking thing he ever experienced and it's comforting knowing he has trusting people like you to protect and support him. I'll always be a fan of yours👏🙇
There's an important detail people seem to be missing about this whole Shohei Ohtani thing: this isn't his only bank account. Everything in the report seems to suggest Ohtani primarily uses his other accounts, and the account Ippei had access to was solely for the purpose of getting deposits from his team (Angels, and now Dodgers). Most of Ohtani's income comes from endorsements, and those probably went to his Japanese bank account that he had since before coming to the U.S., and he seemingly only used those accounts primarily. Which means the account Ippei stole from was probably used solely as a savings account and Ohtani (who is known to be extremely frugal) didn't touch it and didn't let anyone have access to it. The only reason why Ippei had access to it is because Ippei translated the entire bank contract and later on, Ippei impersonated Ohtani to grant himself broader access to the account.
I want Shohei to be completely cleared. He’s worth so much to the game and fun to watch. Why do some people want him to be guilty? For the same reason that Alex still hates Altuve in spite of massive evidence that he didn’t participate in the trash can thing or wear a buzzer.
Wasn't Ohtani living off an "allowance"? He probably has a personal account he lives off and (probably several) other accounts for investments, savings, etc. It is unlikely he looks at them as it appears his interest is baseball and not money. His only crime is that he trusted his friends.
I'm glad Shohei is now a married man. It should, and most likely has aided him during this trying period to have his wife to confide in. Hopefully the arm rehab is going well on his other challenging front.
Most Japanese people never doubted Shohei watching him from high school days. All he loves is baseball, good sleep, and maybe eating Japanese sweets. Once he became a team leader of Nippon Ham Fighters, he made a speech saying, ‘if you wanna play good baseball, forget playing and drinking! Just play baseball!
As a professional interpreter based in Tokyo, the power of language, and with it, the ability to filter information between parties is something that cannot be underestimated. This has been one of the most shocking betrayals of trust we will probably ever see in sports, but I agree with Ben that Ohtani will overcome this and is going to have a career year at the plate - 50 homers & 30 stolen bases should be within reach this year!
Not gonna lie, Ben chaps my you know what with all of his astros fangirling. However, I do appreciate him sticking up for Ohtanei. Good perspective and appreciate it.
Good stuff! I like and agree with the vast majority of the breakdown here, except- I would not consider Tyler Glasnow the favorite to win the Cy, nor do I think that he'll win one at anytime in his career. And I am not confident that the Astros will be playing in October. Looking forward to hearing from Smoltz over the weekend👍
Some people just want to hear what they want to hear. Their heads are buried in the sand. If they still have doubts, what can you say about them? They should ask federal investigators about "their doubts", but the answer is already in the documents.
The amount of betting does sound insane, but that was cumulative betting. So, sometimes Ippei would win, sometimes he would lose, so the net would go up and down constantly like a roller coaster. It only became a problem when the net became large losses and kept getting larger, and the bookies were getting concerned they would not get paid. They kept bumping up his credit, but things began to be contentious when Ippei had trouble transferring larger amounts and sometimes would not answer the bookie's texts or calls. In fact, the text from the bookie showed the bookie was getting really mad when Ippei wasn't keeping up with the payments and there was a kind of veiled or implied threat if Ippei couldn't make the required transfers right away.
I wish more analysts and sports reporters would come out against the stupid comments being made about Ohtani. The guy has been nothing but classy and a hero to a sport that's been looking for a star, but my god, the comments are so stupid and unintelligent. Makes we wonder if baseball fans are actually dumber than football fans.
@@neilwang1924 Because he took the easy way out going to the Dodgers. The Dodgers essentially cheated to build the team they have by deferring so much money. Thus, he might not be a gambler, but he’s still a cheater.
@@Michael-kf7gm wow, we’ll have to agree to disagree. People said he wasted his career on the Angels and people said he took the easy way out by joining the Dodgers. I guess it’s impossible to please everybody. Also, he is not the first guy to defer his salary. If this is any comfort, the Yankees have been spending for decades and the outcome is not so great so far.
I don’t question Ohtani but I do question his agent, accountant and financial advisor. How could they just naively be ok with not having any access to an account that was the one that the Angels were wiring his salary to. That should be one of the key accounts.
I’m so confused by this translator thing. Why does MLB accept that 5 years in a player can’t be bothered to learn the predominant language of the country where he works?Ohtani wouldn’t need “a voice to the American people” if he did what would be expected everywhere else in the world: make an effort to learn the language of the business you are working in. And I’m not just complaining about Ohtani. This has been going with Spanish speaking players and other Japanese players for years. Non American NBA players learn to speak English well enough to get through the platitudes required of them in press conferences, but not Ohtani and other non native English speakers in MLB.
The funny part is that even the bookmaker thought ippei is the fall guy…just shows how fictional this whole thing sounds. But Shohei has a track record of entrusting people his finances, like in former j league days, he hands over his entire paychecks to his mom to handle the accounting; and he just gets a stipend. I guess this what happens when you devote your whole attention to one art, but now I hope he learns that what money can do to people.
All the sports talk broadcaster / podcasters want to grandstand themselves since the Shohei story broke news. don't want to know the facts but keeps putting out theory's. the only person so far talks logic is Carl Carlton who one was a convicted gambler himself. at least he talks fact's.
I love watching your videos and watch them daily, but listening to Alex be so biased towards the dodgers and against the Astros makes this show hard to watch. You may have your allegiances to your team, understandable, but as someone who’s supposed to be a “fan of the game” and impartial as your job should be, she does a horrific job of that. It’s fine to be a fan of your team but your job is specifically to non-biased. When you’re so smug, it’s disgusting. Get better or get lost.
Tucker plays like he doesn't care, Bregman looks washed, Abreau stinks. Altuve is old. Verlander is old. Framber is hurt. Brown needs work. Pressly is mid nowadays. Their farm system is diminished. They're in trouble.
ESPN made Ippei’s comment this is the biggest reason why Ohtani is wrong.Those people who doubt Ohtani does not know how loving the country your language is not spoken.Ohtani is like a senior wealthy man stolen big money from his relatives.
21 out of 55 min was news about Ohtani that’s a lot of news on one player who isn’t the star double threat he was last year , idk just not looking forward to 100 episodes this year where Shohei takes up the whole episode
If Shohei Ohtani is a great guy, then why hasn’t he spoken up in defense of the starving children in Gaza? He hasn’t because he doesn’t care that they’re being starved and murdered.
Japan always provides support to the Palestine, both from the private sector and from the government. This support is paid for by Japanese people's taxes. Of course, Otani, who pays taxes, is also participating in the support. Japan always votes against the US(Israel) when it comes to this issues.
What have you done for Gaza other than speaking ill of others here? If you can afford to pay for the internet, why don't you give it to them? Your mom must be a bad person for not giving financial support to Gaza. Don't use Gaza just to talk bad about others, hypocrite. Please give them financial support at least until you can no longer pay your internet bill.
@@novrinkov0053 That is absolutely not true. First, Ohtani is paid a U.S. salary by the Dodgers, which means his taxes are being funneled to support Israel. Any money he gets from New Balance is also taxed in the U.S. Also, Japan is a U.S. ally, which means they likely back the U.S. over Palestine. You are sorely misinformed.
@@novrinkov0053 Hahaha you’re a crazy person! This must shock you, but Joe Biden does not consult me on global policy. I use my 1st amendment right to speak out in support of Gaza. I also donate to charities. That’s all I can do and probably more than you do.
Mike Trout is a real hero for putting the Angels on his shoulders and pursuing greatness. Ohtani ran scared to the Dodgers because he isn’t even close to being the strong superhero that Trout is.
Ohtani almost ended his pitching career for the team. TWICE. He simply wants to win. That’s not running away. A winner mentality. I didn’t care about the dodgers when he was playing for the angels but now I see how the dodgers as an organization takes care of their players and fans. The best decision he made.
@@Shakazulu6.1 The Dodgers cheated to sign top talent by deferring almost $1 billion. That’s the Dodgers being shady. And of course, Shohei loves shady organizations just as much as he loves shady translators.
If Shohei’s mother hadn’t managed his money and given him an allowance early on in his career, then he wouldn’t have relied so heavily on Ippei. Instead, he would have been self-sufficient and independent and handled his finances himself, like an adult. We should shame his mother for not raising him to be a man and do stuff on his own.
Is that you, Michael Kay? LOL! No one that wealthy or busy as Shohei handles their finances by themself. There is a team of people: financial advisors, accountants, bookkeepers, legal experts, etc. Also, Ippei opened the account and subsequently took over the account by changing the password and email address to where he was the only one who knew what was going on in that account. I think Shohei is more of a man than you, who is hiding behind his computer anonymously and wasting his time making disparaging and childish remarks.
Those who refuse to see the truth and continue to spew delusions, please look at yourself in the mirror. I'm sure your face is "very ugly." Shohei shines as he works hard towards his dreams.
@@omgbygollywow there's some truth to what he's saying, although unnecessarily demeaning. Financial literacy is an important skill often not taught in school. No need to shame anyone however.
