Over a mill going to a bookie directly from the player’s account is a hard one to spin.

But, we will see. I feel like this is going to be lingering for a while.

To be clear, I think these were Ohtanis bets. (I mean not lead pipe lock sure, but, I think its the most likely scenario. How does an interpreter have a 3.4 million credit line?)

On the other hand, why gamble illegally in California? shit, he could have paid me 250k a year to park myself at the Caesars sportsbook bar and wager whatever he wants. I realize there's probably some sketchiness with that but you eliminate the entire illegal bookie part and as long as you don't bet on baseball its about sorting out taxes mostly. I'm sure there's a bit more than that but he's got a real problem right now

The timing is impeccable.

He finally leaves that dead weight franchise in Anaheim and goes to a Golden Boy franchise and now, this :lol:

Batting Around: How many home runs and stolen bases for Shohei Ohtani? Dodgers star has 50-50 season in sight

Batting Around: How many home runs and stolen bases for Shohei Ohtani? Dodgers star has 50-50 season in sight​

Ohtani is fighting for a first in MLB history: 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season​

This week we're going to tackle Shohei Ohtani's pursuit of baseball's first 50-50 season.

How many home runs and stolen bases with Ohtani finish with?​

R.J. Anderson: I think the spirit of the question here is really "will Ohtani create the 50-50 club?" I believe he will, and so the exact numbers beyond that threshold don't matter -- at least not as much. For the sake of posterity, I'll guess that he'll end up with something like 52 home runs and 55 stolen bases.

Dayn Perry: Every roundtable needs a hater, and I'm here to help. I'll say he gets to 54 stolen bases and 49 home runs -- i.e., one homer shy of becoming the first 50-50 player in MLB history. Furthermore, I'll say Ohtani never again approaches 50 steals in a season as he ages and as his return to pitching eats into his available "bandwidth" while on the bases. Oh well.

Matt Snyder: I was overzealous in my Aaron Judge home run prediction roundtable answer a few weeks ago, so I've learned my lesson and I'll play it a bit more conservatively. I will also be rooting for the 50-50 club threshold to be reached, so I'm going to go with the bare minimum. Ohtani ends with exactly 50 homers and 50 stolen bases.

Mike Axisa: At this point 50-50 feels like a lock. I'll say ... 51 home runs and 50 stolen bases. Stolen bases are physically demanding and come with injury risk, so I think Ohtani gets the red light as soon as he reaches 50. The 51 home runs, I dunno, that's just a guess. The Dodgers have 22 games remaining and Ohtani is sitting on 44 home runs. Seven home runs in 22 games is doable. (Ohtani has nine home runs in his last 22 games, for reference.)

Just sayin': Not too many years ago the 30 - 30 club was a really big deal. Do you think he'll have a chance of being in a 50 (home runs) - 50 (stolen bases) - 20 (wins) club next year?

Shohei Ohtani's historic pursuit: Chasing 50/50 club in home runs and stolen bases

Shohei Ohtani is on track to becoming the first 50/50 player in MLB history.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Tracking Shohei Ohtani's quest for 50 home runs, 50 stolen bases​

Home run No. 47, Stolen base No. 48

Counting tonight the Dodgers have 13 more regular season games.

So far today (now in top of the 8th) Ohtani has hit 2 HRs and stole 2 bases.

Shohei Ohtani now has 50 HRs and 51 stolen bases.



Just sayin': If you are from the Cincinnati area and old enough to remember local TV shows back in the 50s and 60s Ruth Lyons is a member of the 50-50 Club too.
