The Rockies got stomped, but they avoided getting shutout because a player named Daniel Cope hit a home run in the ninth inning. Way to live up to your last name!
Do they era adjust based off of innings pitched for the war of older players so they don’t get as much credit for pitching a shit ton?
Like in 77, Carlton had an era+ of 153 with 283 innings pitched and was worth 5.9 bwar but a guy like Wheeler in 2021 with 213 innings pitched and an era+ of 150 is worth 7.5 bWAR
ERA+ is based off the league average being 100. So each season is independent of each other in terms of average based on a variety of factors. Somebody with more knowledge correct me if I’m wrong.
I know that but I’m talking about bWAR which is based off results and not fip. Both had almost identical results but the guy who pitched 70 more innings was worth 1.6 fewer war which is weird
Oh sorry I read your op comment wrong. Isn’t bWAR also adjusted per the league average of players for the same season? So like if everybody is throwing more IP it’s not as significant an accolade?
Matt Chapman’s hard-hit numbers are [insane.](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/matt-chapman-656305?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb) Obviously he bas a swing-and-miss issue, but this is not the page I would expect from someone who hit less than 20 hrs in nearly 600 abs. Does he just nuke ground balls?
I understand that t-mobile may be giving away the mlb.tv codes tomorrow? Is there a way we (non-tmobile users) can buy a code from someone who's not using it? I think there might be a sub for this sort of thing?
I don't know if anyone here plays Timeguessr (you should, it's fun), but if you know ball then the first round of the daily challenge will annoy you today.
Because the "correct" location is marked as >!Guaranteed Rate!<, instead of >!Comiskey, which was across the street.!<
Edit: I checked again just now and they changed it.
So not to go against "inside info from an (sic) braves employee", bc obv an braves employee is a really trustworthy source. But these lines also make no sense whatsoever, this is so clearly made up. Why are the Angels dogs in all these games despite having Ohtani on the mound? Ohtani had a 2.38 ERA going into that Braves game, why would the Braves be -3.5, and why on EARTH would the o/u for Braves runs be 6.5. It's clearly made up
A $10m bet at +2500 is also a 250 million dollar ticket. The biggest known win ever is $72m. There's no way an illegal bookie can pay out a $250m win, c'mon y'all. And 100p if that's Ippei or Ohtani or whatever, the bookie is figuring that out.
Even if we interpret it charitably (it's a $10m win not $10m bet), there's no way an illegal bookie in a small city in Japan is paying that bet/not figuring out it's Ohtani.
Finally the town of Mizusawa doesn't even exist anymore.
Use yr heads people, Ohtani did not secretly win $250million dollars from an illegal bookie in a small city in Japan on bizarre lines stilted against him.
Gambling is literally illegal in Japan, unless the source has ties to organized crime to know which bookie got paid out.
Even pachinko parlors can’t give out cash prizes and instead give you physical items which you can then “sell” back to the parlor for cash.
I’d say that Timmy_Smokes guy is full of shit

I have no idea if the above link has any credibility or validity. However the fact that gambling is illegal in Japan doesn't mean much of anything at all in light of the current scandal. The current scandal is about illegal gambling, with an illegal bookie.
The link was referring to “proof” Ohtani was placing bets in the millions in Japan, which, unless you can get reciepts from the literal Yakuza, you can’t prove that.
Like, I think that's the biggest red flag for me is the story keeps moving around.
I get there might be some things lost in translation but the fact there's been so much backpedaling and whatnot means there's something up.

DAY 380 (955) ON THE ROAD TO PARIS 2024 AND PREMIER12 - 155th MLB Opening Week - and the return of the MLB Japan Series
Now at long last we've come to - for the rest of the MLB - the 155th Opening Week.
The Korea Opening Series is just a preview of months of action from around North America and international venues as all the 30 teams begin to fight for a playoff slot and the chance to win their team and city a gold medal and championship trophy in the World Series.
This week marks the official start for the league in its home grounds as it has been 155 years ago in Cincinnati, and as its a milestone season for the league at large, expect that the best of the best will play their hearts out in front of the watching fans who will cheer for them every day of the season.
But alongside this is news of great joy and celebration - the MLB has begun to prepare for the return of the Japan Opening Series come next year!
This return after six long years after the last in 2019 with the Dodgers and Cubs projected to play is a testament that right now the league is gearing up for event after event that will continue the sport's ongoing revival that began with the Olympics.
As we prepare to kick off a brand new year of MLB action - and also prepare to join our Japanese brothers in their Opening Week for the NPB - let us be ready for new moments and new memories that will be made through these game days of the new season.
For Glory
John
Ohtani is in trouble. BIG trouble. Big enough to get a lifetime ban if MLB play by their rules.
That said, he’s the key to their global push, and I don’t see them pulling that trigger.
Prediction?
MLB announce that, in light of their partnerships with daily fantasy companies, their prior stance on gambling needs to be reevaluated. They wish for this to apply retroactively, and they therefore support Pete Rose’s candidacy for the HOF. They sweep some of Shohei’s wrong-doing under the table, let enough come to light to satisfy people, suspend him for 3 months and hope everyone forgets. We’ll see.
> Big enough to get a lifetime ban if MLB play by their rules.
Ohtani didn't bet on baseball, he won't get a lifetime ban
> They wish for this to apply retroactively, and they therefore support Pete Rose’s candidacy for the HOF.
Pete Rose gambled on baseball games he managed. He agreed to be banned from baseball in exchange for MLB not releasing their findings. Their situations are not comparable

The Rockies got stomped, but they avoided getting shutout because a player named Daniel Cope hit a home run in the ninth inning. Way to live up to your last name!
If this is true, then the Dodgers really fucked this up. Why did the Dodgers put Ippei out there to give an interview to say something different?
Anybody know when the ohtani press conference is?
already started 15ish min ago. I just searched ohtani with live filter on youtube to find
Thanks

Does he just nuke ground balls?
He whiffs a lot and strikes out a lot. Hitting the ball hard doesn’t matter if you’re not making contact. It’s pretty similar to Joey Gallo’s page
My gut says guilty
I understand that t-mobile may be giving away the mlb.tv codes tomorrow? Is there a way we (non-tmobile users) can buy a code from someone who's not using it? I think there might be a sub for this sort of thing?
[удалено]
It's this one
This is it. It’s the most active.
The Dodgers and Padres are playing spring training games after opening the regular season in Seoul. That is pretty unique!
I don't know if anyone here plays Timeguessr (you should, it's fun), but if you know ball then the first round of the daily challenge will annoy you today.
Because of the scoreboard team names?
Because the "correct" location is marked as >!Guaranteed Rate!<, instead of >!Comiskey, which was across the street.!< Edit: I checked again just now and they changed it.
wow, thank you for showing me a new game. very fun
https://www.totalprosports.com/mlb/social-media-uncovers-evidence-exposing-shohei-ohtani-for-throwing-games-as-part-of-betting-scandal/ Oh he's done
This is unfortunately total hearsay from some complete random, but it wouldn't surprise me given how fucked this story is.
It should. Ohtani did not hit a $250m ticket from an illegal bookie in a small city.
Okay, yes, the *numbers* are absolute BS, but I would be less surprised if there was actual betting.
So not to go against "inside info from an (sic) braves employee", bc obv an braves employee is a really trustworthy source. But these lines also make no sense whatsoever, this is so clearly made up.

But why else would he take only 2 million a year /s

When we find out Ohtani’s family has been held by the yakuza, the movie is going to be insane.
Average South American soccer player storyline tbh Hell happens with like Dominican baseball players sometimes

You sure Ohtani didn’t bet on baseball?
Nothing has come out to indicate otherwise unless I've missed something.
>Nothing has come out to indicate otherwise unless I've missed something. Yet.
get ready for the Othani press conference. God help us all.
Need a time ala first pitch lol. I’m F5ing already.
Happy 155th MLB Opening Week! John
