Dodgers did not play well today. Yes I know they won. I actually watched some of the game. I happened to wake up around 5 AM because I sleep so bad some nights, so I turned it on. How fucking weird is it to be watching a baseball game at five in the morning?

[Michaels]

Are the Padres the home team for this?

Who is losing their home games for this?

Playing for 15k people at 5am lol

Yes, the Padres. Do you really think the Dodgers would lose home games for this? No.

Wild story here

The Los Angeles Dodgers interpreter for Shohei Ohtani was fired Wednesday afternoon after questions surrounding at least $4.5 million in wire transfers sent from Ohtani's bank account to a bookmaking operation set off a series of events.

Ippei Mizuhara, the longtime friend and interpreter for Ohtani, incurred the gambling debts to a Southern California bookmaking operation that is under federal investigation, multiple sources told ESPN. How he came to lose his job started with reporters asking questions about the wire transfers.

[Brett]

Wow, that’s pretty crazy. He and Shohei are very very close.

[Michaels]

Yes, the Padres. Do you really think the Dodgers would lose home games for this? No.

Well according to the schedule for tomorrows game it is a home game for LA

Well, I guess both teams gave up one game. I’m surprised either team would honestly. But maybe they play one less road game and they play 82 home games, I don’t know. I highly doubt the Dodgers are going to give up a 50,000 seat attendance game for this. But maybe they got a huge amount of money to do it I don’t know. But that’s also less money for the vendors and staff that work those games. Maybe they’re all getting a payday from this.

[Brett]

This whole thing is stupid. So the Dodgers are gonna play these two games and then come home and play the Angels in the meaningless freeway series. So you go from a regular season game back to spring training. The whole thing is just dumb, these games in Korea are unnecessary.

Why would the Padres give up two home games for this?

I don’t care how shitty they are, money is money and they ain’t bending over for any other team to play games in South Korea. MLB must be compensating both teams or they both would decline this

Because they are the Padres and nobody cares, I don’t know. They clearly gave up one.

I have a feeling that the Dodgers and Padres will play one extra home game this year. That is my opinion. I’d have to look at the schedule, but maybe they’re playing 82 home games. I know that happened in the NBA with some of that stupid in season tournament BS. Some teams played more home games.

I just counted. 81 home games for LA

The Korea game is a home game

[Brett]

Well there you go. Pretty fucking stupid the Dodgers would allow a 15,000-seat game to count against their home attendance lol. Not to mention the vendors and staff who won’t get paid now for a game. But again, maybe those people are just going to get paid for it anyway.

I don’t understand the point of these games. Who the fuck cares about playing games in Korea. Judging by the attendance, clearly the Koreans don’t care.

[Michaels]

More concerning is Yamamoto getting rocked in spring training.
