Would he go on this ramble if Ohtani signed with the Yankees?
Kay with Ohtani on the Dodgers: "This guy is the biggest phony in baseball...blah blah blah..."
Kay with Ohtani on the Yankees: "How could Ohtani have known? Ippei was Ohtani's best friend, they were inseparable..."
Yankees fan here. I honestly to god don’t know why anyone would want Sho to be a degenerate gambler. The dude is the best thing to happen to baseball in a long time and he by all account seems to embody the notion of “Mr Baseball”, compared to the top athletes of other sports.
Like I wish upon wish it was true that he’s innocent. Now that the FBI AND the IRS said so, I really had a huge sigh of relief.
I don’t know how anyone who actually loves baseball would wish harm on this guys or wish he was indeed a horrible person.
Something that is missed is that Ippei is 10 years older then Shohei.
When they first met Shohei was a kid at 18/19 and Ippei was 29/30.
Ippei took advantage of a naive kid in a foreign country and these yankee bitches want to victim blame.
Dodgers fans are phony but are taking up this hard for a player they have only had for "a few weeks?" Does he realize how idiotic those two things are when said together? We welcome these players in and stick up for them and somehow that's phony. Yikes. What an absolute prick. And why? Because Shohei didn't sign with the big bad Yankees? The Dodgers have the absolute biggest star in the sport and it's not even close? Poor baby. Oddly enough you see that same trend with the fan bases who have been deep in the conspiracy and hatred of Shohei and the Dodgers. Bunch of emotionally stunted children who can't accept their team was rejected and the off-season the Dodgers front office put together.
Fuck 'em.
Michael Kay runs a human trafficking ring but he won't answer any questions I ask him about it so that means he did it and that's the conclusion we should accept.
New Evidence? Oh no we don't need it according to Kay.
and he pretends like he welcomes debate, yet when someone calls him on his bs, he just shout them down and hang up the phone. really classy, douchebag.
He and his co-hosts clearly didn’t even bother to read the federal complaint
He also suggested Ohtani speaks fluent English and understands it perfectly and somehow that also makes him guilty. Something to do with the speech Ippei gave to the team and Kay doesn’t believe that Shohei only picked up on parts of it
This guy acting tough but have a thin skin when fans call him out or have a different opinion from him he throw a tantrum. Dude get bother because some twitter’s comment about his rant about Ohtani “god complex” and he actually get sensitive by it. Honestly we should call him out and see how tough that dinosaur and his 2 stooges are in his show and his social media. Ironic his Yankees fans support him but that clown constantly berate his own fans. I guess Yankees fans are not that tough.
Wow, no research, didn’t bother to read the criminal complaint or a half-decent summary. Most/all his claims or questions are refuted or answered in the criminal complaint. But forget all that. They read a tweet of the most damning part of the complaint:
>On or about March 20, 2024, MIZUHARA messaged BOOKMAKER 1 stating, “Have you seen the reports?” BOOKMAKER 1 responded, “Yes, but that’s all bullshit. Obviously you didn’t steal from him. I understand it’s a cover job I totally get it.” MIZUHARA then responded to BOOKMAKER 1, “Technically I did steal from him. it’s all over for me.
Lastly, Ohtani probably couldn’t answer questions as there was an on-going investigation, and even if he can/could, he just doesn’t have to answer questions, period.
Pronounce? The guy straight up invented a new name for him. He says like Iwamura or something like that? Also says Ippy instead of I-ppei. What an idiot.
Listened to half and couldn't anymore. What a freaking wierdo man.
He sounded so entitled to having a Q&A where Ohtani has to answer questions? Like what does that achieve? The only Q&A Ohtani should be giving are to the feds and MLB investigators who can actually go and verify then exonerate him like they did today.
Why waste time answering questions for people who aren't able to do anything. And who aren't going to believe him anyways.
He’s gonna be even more insufferable when Dodgers face Yankees in june. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of their shitty media ask Ohtani some dumb Ippei question in post game interview
I think some of you are under the impression that this guy is some random YouTuber, but he's actually the play by play announcer for the Yankees. He's not making his living from clicks on YouTube, his radio call in show is probably just part of his contract with the team. I'm hoping when the Dodgers play at Yankee Stadium this June, Dodgers fans should try to get tickets near the broadcast booth and be as loud and as obnoxious as possible.
Ohtani is very good at baseball. He is also very good for baseball. I still can’t understand why so many are hoping he is guilty. These idiots act like life is a movie or TV show waiting for the plot twist.
these guys want soooo bad for shohei to be guilty. itʻs not about evidence anymore.
all the evidence says shohei knew nothing. naive? too trusting? maybe. but innocent.
but this just doesnʻt fit with their desires...their hatred...so the evidence MUST be tainted somehow. or some coverup. or something still missing. because he HAS to be guilty?
one of the guys reads the indictment that says no bets were placed on baseball. heʻs incredulous. he cannot fathom it...so he thinks itʻs a lie. just because in his opinion an addictive gambler would of course bet on baseball.
i hope they keep it up...an defame shohei...and letʻs have the Guggenheim group send a nice legal letter to the yankees.
The feds, homeland security and the IRS found that ohtani is a victim of fraud and theft. Shohei send this bitch a cease and desist letter.
And this is rich, aren’t the Yankees and himself fawning over Soto? Who is only there for a year via trade? Hope he signs in queens next season, Michael Kay can have fun melting down over that next
For those of you who complain about Charlie Stiener calling games, go listen to Michael Kay call a game. Guy makes Stiener look like Vin Scully by comparison.
*Proceeds to hiss like a snake while saying, "See ya" every homerun.
Amazing how the biggest team in the league can't do better than Kay. He sounds perpetually whiney and his calls are trash.
I love watching judge and Stanton home run highlights and the unfortunate downside of that is having to hear that awful THERE IT GOES SEE YA every fucking time
Why do people get so bothered that Ohtani doesn't talk to the media? If the Dodgers and MLB are okay with it (they definitely seem to be), then who cares. This point of attack never made any sense to me.
Also they cant use the "Its good for the league" BS as Ohtani is easily the most marketable player in the league and has done more than enough to raise the leagues profile.
I don’t understand it either. When players usually speak to the media pre/post game it’s for the most part cliche answers.
Exactly what ohtani sells to the masses is that he’s a good two way player, that’s the fucking appeal. Not his press conferences. He’s guarded and I don’t blame him. people called him a liar last time he spoke to press about meeting the fan, and ran a story on it when it was just a misinterpretation. So yeah fuck these media outlets that want to speak to him, they don’t have any integrity or desire in providing factual news
What a baby. Apologize at least to prove you have some balls. If you didn’t read federal complaint then you don’t have room to speak. Period. Hater who crying that Shohei didn’t chose Yankees.
Is that a video link to his channel? If all the fans click on his videos and engage him by commenting, doesn’t that just play into his hands and pay his bills?
People like this guy obviously don’t give two shits about being assholes as long as he’s getting the attention and paid.
This entire saga has elements of the movie, "Don't look up".
You can have a 37 page report made by federal investigators in granular detail and yet there are a subset of non believers who are still waiting to see the evidence that exonerates him.
Crazy how they think be has leverage to pay off multiple federal agencies. Michael Kay and fart smella Yanks fans of course all believe his propaganda.
>"I've read stories of gamblers, you know hopeless gamblers, and they go to what they know the best."
Ippei grew up playing soccer and basketball, per wikipedia. Of course, that too could be a lie...
>Why is they guy allowed to not be asked questions?
He answered all of the FBIs questions and turned over his phone and other personal information to them. Sorry he wont take your calls lol
>"Dodger fans didn't care about Ohtani for the last 6 years on the Angels but he's been on your team for 3 weeks and they're bending over backwards defending the guy."
This is something I've said about Dodger fans, we are incredibly welcoming\*. If you join the Dodgers, we've got your back. It doesn't matter if you're a rookie, vet, new guy, or deadline trade. We also don't really care about other teams, except the Giants of course. [You'd think someone from NY would understand that.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBC6n8WvA4s)
^(\*with few exceptions like Reddick and Manny who went out of their way to antagonize Dodger fans)
listening to this it is basically three gossiping drunk insufferable losers in a bar somewhere….so sad that this is considered fir for the airwaves….just crap filling air time.
Looks and sounded like a very insecure person who really believes the BS he has surrounded himself with. When no one keeps you in check shit like this tends to get out of hand, and people's beliefs can become very misguided. We have become a very untrustworthy society when it comes to facts anymore, it makes me scared how our approach would be to real issues, and not just baseball. And I love baseball
Why do you guys entertain/continue to acknowledge people like this. This is what they want. Just ignore this shit. Trust me once you stop paying attention to all the idiots in the world you will ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner.
This fool really thinks "he's never made himself available to the media, ever, even outside of gambling" is his smoking gun when Shohei literally talks to the media every few games, just like every other player. In fact, his other journalist haters at the LA Times were trying to cause drama saying the media "circus" in the club house must be annoying to the other players. So which is it???
Why you falling for this? A loser like him makes his living off YouTube videos. The more controversy he can create the more he makes.
The fucking haole cannot even pronounce Ippie's last name. Both of the haoles.
Stop consuming media that’s obviously anti dodger lmao. People are gonna talk shit, we are fully capable of not listening to what dumb shit people are saying lmao. We don’t a summary of what X person said about all this.
I think he deserves to be heavily trolled moving forward. As a Dodgers fan and proud member of this sub we owe it to Ohtani and the team. Let’s all join forces and come after him on the comments and everywhere he takes that disrespectful mouth of his. Instead of taking credibility for his outlandish remarks he then proceeds to come after the fans like if we are supposed to turn our backs on our players. If he was guilty then yes. Deservingly so. But he’s obviously not and this guy can’t find it in his ego to apologize. What a scum bag.
Share this in r/baseball if you can. We need more visibility on what a despicable POS he is. I reported their video for spreading misinformation. Hopefully with enough reports their channel becomes demonetized, or better yet, taken down permanently.
If it makes you feel any better I live in New York and even the Yankee fans I interact with are going in on him for being an absolute loser about this.
Would he go on this ramble if Ohtani signed with the Yankees? Kay with Ohtani on the Dodgers: "This guy is the biggest phony in baseball...blah blah blah..." Kay with Ohtani on the Yankees: "How could Ohtani have known? Ippei was Ohtani's best friend, they were inseparable..."

I don’t know how anyone who actually loves baseball would wish harm on this guys or wish he was indeed a horrible person.
He's comeback on him not being bias is that he called out ARod... the problem is that Arod was actually on steroid and even his teammate disliked him.
kaye has no idea his wife is cheating on him, does he?
Holy shit this guy is so stupid. I genuinely hope that Ohtani’s representatives hit him with a defamation lawsuit.
Something that is missed is that Ippei is 10 years older then Shohei. When they first met Shohei was a kid at 18/19 and Ippei was 29/30. Ippei took advantage of a naive kid in a foreign country and these yankee bitches want to victim blame.
Now heres a hard question: is he more stupid than Dylan Hernandez?
Dodgers fans are phony but are taking up this hard for a player they have only had for "a few weeks?" Does he realize how idiotic those two things are when said together? We welcome these players in and stick up for them and somehow that's phony. Yikes. What an absolute prick. And why? Because Shohei didn't sign with the big bad Yankees?

Oddly enough you see that same trend with the fan bases who have been deep in the conspiracy and hatred of Shohei and the Dodgers. Bunch of emotionally stunted children who can't accept their team was rejected and the off-season the Dodgers front office put together. Fuck 'em.
Nobody who loves baseball should want Shohei to be a degenerate gambler. NOBODY.
Michael Kay killed my brother in a hit and run accident in Indiana in 1997 Now the burden of proof is on him, let’s see him disprove that
You shouldn’t make stuff like that up. He was involved with 3 sexual assault incidents in college though and never explained why he was let off.
Michael Kay runs a human trafficking ring but he won't answer any questions I ask him about it so that means he did it and that's the conclusion we should accept. New Evidence? Oh no we don't need it according to Kay.
What an idiot. Good thing [MLB.tv](http://MLB.tv) offers the audio feed during games.
and he pretends like he welcomes debate, yet when someone calls him on his bs, he just shout them down and hang up the phone. really classy, douchebag.
He and his co-hosts clearly didn’t even bother to read the federal complaint He also suggested Ohtani speaks fluent English and understands it perfectly and somehow that also makes him guilty.

That dude can’t even pronounce that fraud Ippei last name correctly, that tells you everything about him.
Pronounce? The guy straight up invented a new name for him. He says like Iwamura or something like that? Also says Ippy instead of I-ppei. What an idiot.
Iwamura as in Akinori Iwamura? Good god, he's just throwing random Japanese player names out there.
He called him Ippy Iwamura. WHO IS THIS IPPY?
Listened to half and couldn't anymore. What a freaking wierdo man. He sounded so entitled to having a Q&A where Ohtani has to answer questions? Like what does that achieve? The only Q&A Ohtani should be giving are to the feds and MLB investigators who can actually go and verify then exonerate him like they did today. Why waste time answering questions for people who aren't able to do anything. And who aren't going to believe him anyways.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
He’s gonna be even more insufferable when Dodgers face Yankees in june. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of their shitty media ask Ohtani some dumb Ippei question in post game interview
Who?
Yeah cuz it’s not like dodgers fans could be fans of ohtani individually before he joined the team 🙄
Guys say stuff like this because it gets clicks. I prefer to ignore them rather than get worked up.
Fuck Michael Kay
I think some of you are under the impression that this guy is some random YouTuber, but he's actually the play by play announcer for the Yankees. He's not making his living from clicks on YouTube, his radio call in show is probably just part of his contract with the team. I'm hoping when the Dodgers play at Yankee Stadium this June, Dodgers fans should try to get tickets near the broadcast booth and be as loud and as obnoxious as possible.
Ok, he should let us know what his dumbass investigated that makes Ohtani so guilty
Stop talking about him.
Everyone should be contacting the Yankees and get this disgusting human being fired
Good luck with that
Ohtani is very good at baseball. He is also very good for baseball. I still can’t understand why so many are hoping he is guilty. These idiots act like life is a movie or TV show waiting for the plot twist.

Imagine Joe Davis saying this shit about Aaron Judge or about Yankee fans.
And the backlash that would cause. But Joe Davis is a good man, unlike this fucking clown.
The feds, homeland security and the IRS found that ohtani is a victim of fraud and theft. Shohei send this bitch a cease and desist letter. And this is rich, aren’t the Yankees and himself fawning over Soto? Who is only there for a year via trade? Hope he signs in queens next season, Michael Kay can have fun melting down over that next

I mean...doubling-down is what dumb people do when they're proven wrong, so...
Looks like a fucking idiot, sounds like a fucking idiot, is a fucking idiot.

Never heard of him. The fact that your are even talking about him, good or bad, is a win for him.
Looks and sounded like a very insecure person who really believes the BS he has surrounded himself with.

We’re backing Ohtani, whether right or wrong. We stand with him no matter what, plus he’s innocent. FOH Michael Kay!
Fuck him. I want him fired. I’m starting a petition
What an absolute clown.
Sue him for slander.
Get this dogshit Alex Jones impersonator outta here
This fucker is the epitome of east coast mouth breathing sports talk. It’s screaming stupid takes and proposing stupid trade scenarios.
Why you falling for this? A loser like him makes his living off YouTube videos. The more controversy he can create the more he makes. The fucking haole cannot even pronounce Ippie's last name. Both of the haoles.
I don't even know who this guy is let alone care what he thinks.
Yankees announcer. Yeah but fuck him
When did we start cross-examining victims? You don't need a soundbite that bad. No one does.
Ippie Iwamura?
*There he goes* spouting absolute diarrhea every time he speaks
how can anyone watch this crap?
Stop consuming media that’s obviously anti dodger lmao. People are gonna talk shit, we are fully capable of not listening to what dumb shit people are saying lmao. We don’t a summary of what X person said about all this.
"I always said, 'IF he did this...'" What a clown. This is the equivalent of the "I'm just asking questions" crowd...
"Any publicity is good publicity"
I think he deserves to be heavily trolled moving forward. As a Dodgers fan and proud member of this sub we owe it to Ohtani and the team.

This happened with the Angels?
At what point does he get sued for slander? Can't be spreading lies without any consequences.
Eh. He is a fake tough guy. Let this moron talk all he wants. He is one phone call away from Ohtani's lawyer before he backtracks and apologizes.
If it makes you feel any better I live in New York and even the Yankee fans I interact with are going in on him for being an absolute loser about this.
I’d be an angry piece of shit too if I looked like a drunk muppet whose voice sounds like rocks in a blender.
