Transcript
- 0:00Speaking of baseball, Where's where you at on this? So tany thing?
- 0:04Give me the highs, give me the lows. Is he in trouble?
- 0:07What's going to happen? I have two mixed feelings. This reminds me of
- 0:11Michael Jordan when he all of a sudden he left for go play baseball,
- 0:14when everyone kind of thought he got suspended for two years for gambling. Yep,
- 0:18that's the bad side of it. The good side of it is I
- 0:20think people don't realize how much money Otani has. He's getting eighty million dollars,
- 0:26probably from Japan from his endorsements over there. I can guarantee you he
- 0:30has more than two people that know his passwords, is checking account his savings
- 0:35accounts. It would not be shocked me that the CALLI just did steal all
- 0:38his money in bed place bets. If Otani did play bets, I do
- 0:42believe it was probably just maybe at soccer. I don't think it was.
- 0:46Japan has really strict rules. I'm betting their league, so I don't think
- 0:50he would come to America and start betting our leagues. I do believe there
- 0:53was probably just soccer, maybe some other mix for sprinkles on there, But
- 0:57I don't think he plays the bets, and I can guarantee other people is
- 1:00around his entourage have his account numbers. So what do you think happens to
- 1:04him or or does anything happen to him? I think it's all depends on
- 1:08what the Feds find out. I think that if it does come out that
- 1:12he was placing bets, I think it was only soccer. I think he
- 1:15maybe get a a suspension or a slap on their rest. But it's gonna
- 1:21be very hard. It all depends on what Boyer says with his inviction.
- 1:23Because another thing people can keep on forgetting you can't bet in California, so
- 1:27everything he was doing was illegally. Now, if he was doing this in
- 1:30Mississippi, Vegas and other it's legal to bet sports there, so you have
- 1:34to look, they have to throw that in factor that you cannot bet sports
- 1:38in California. Everything else is illegal. So it only depends on what Bowyer
- 1:42says under oath and all that. But it's gonna be very interesting. So
- 1:48what do you think about Pete Rose? Of course you know he's gonna this.
- 1:51This pings him instantly and he's like, look, if I had an
- 1:55interpreter in the seventies and eighties, I'd be in Hall of Fame. Well,
- 1:57Pete Yolis used to tell me and my superviruses when we would see him
- 2:01at Caesar's Palace, when I used to have to put the Emerald downs on
- 2:05the big screen when he would play the horses or a dog checker, and
- 2:07all that. He always to tell us if he told the truth the first
- 2:09time, he wouldn't be in as much trouble if he was now. Hey,
- 2:13tell everybody else what they can play and get into. Dude, it's
- 2:16a crazy time. It's Mark Vanis is stillhurt. Sweet sixteen baseball throws his
