No, fuck that. Take them out of the game completely. We have the technology to get it right, don't slow down the game with having to challenge a ball or a strike. Could you imagine that rule with Angel Hernandez behind the plate?

Oh man, that would totally happen. There's just no way you can give them shared responsibility with robo umps.

I know nothing on how these investigations work. The Feds saying he was taken by the interpreter means it's legit? Or they doing MLB a solid by just saying this? OR will there be a real investigation and the truth that he bet on...whatever comes out?

Feds accuse Ohtani ex-interpreter of $16M theft
The former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani stole $16 million over more than two years from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts to an illegal sportsbook, according to an affidavit filed by federal authorities Thursday.

I think it's true that his interpretor was behind it personally. Ohtani seems like his total focus has always been on baseball, a baseball autist basically. His mom was managing his money I believe, limiting him to a strict budget from what I read.

Mizuhara could still be falling on his sword to protect Ohtani. The article says he admitted to the bookie in a text that he had stolen from Ohtani which sure seems like a smoking gun, but the text was sent the same day that the story changed from Ohtani paying Mizuhara's debts to Mizuhara admitting he lied.I know nothing on how these investigations work.

Seems like a stretch though. Even if you don't trust the integrity of the Federal investigators I doubt the MLB has so much clout that they could convince them to manufacture evidence to support a false confession by Mizuhara and ignoring or helping cover up evidence that it was actually Ohtani.

Prosecutors are rarely charitable, especially when some of them could add a scalp of this size to their collection. Sounds like they're pretty sold, Mizuhara did this.

Absolutely unacceptable. An absolute plague on the game.
The amount of calls Houston has received in these firsr two Texas series is absolutely wild - and they still get smoked. I feel for Langford, he's been on the receiving end of some horrible umpiring.
I cannot wait for them to get rid of umps calling balls and strikes.
