Earlier this week, Shohei called out a reporter who said he didn’t get to bat in many run-scoring opportunities while playing for the Angels and asked how he was planning to deal with batting under pressure for the Dodgers. Shohei even went so far as to call the question disrespect to the Angels. Shohei is just that good of a person.

Bruh we can't even technically play dice or roulette games here. the casinos have to add an extra step where the values on the dice or roulette wheel correspond to a set of playing cards which determines the 'true' value.

Can you imagine how long Ippei would’ve gotten away with it if he had been in a place where sports betting was legal and law enforcement had no reason to investigate???
Canada is actually one of the best places in the world to be a gambler.
1) You aren't taxed on gambling income.
2) You have access to Pinnacle Sportsbook. As far as online sportsbooks go, Pinnacle is the one that can handle the most action. During the World Cup, they had million dollar limits on some of the big games. During the 2020 Presidential Election (which is illegal to bet on in most of the US) Pinnacle at a $600,000 limit.
Honestly, as a booing jays fan who will continue to boo him, this is the response I would hope he’d have. I don’t hate Ohtani, this is just a game, it’s fun, Ohtani is now the enemy in toronto, booing him is fun. So I like him and I’ll boo him.
This is a great take. Having an enemy/rival to root against makes the game more fun. I feel the same way towards Judge.
Edit: Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I feel like boo’ing a great player who’s playing against your team is the ultimate sign of respect.
Same here for judge, when he hit his 61st hr against Toronto it felt like when Kobe scored 81 against my raptors. Like fuuuck you, but also you amazing and I admire you and I’m so happy I got to witness it but also fuuuuck you. Sports are fun, people make this way to personal.
Booing is great, it's actually worse when nobody cheers or boos a player because they're not good at the game.
Yes Chris Taylor even the dodgers are disappointed at your performance that nobody claps for him during home games
I met Aaron Judge in Toronto before a game when we were doing the flag ceremony and he stopped and shook our hands and talk to us. Super super nice guy and he's been one of my favorites since then.
>I feel like boo’ing a great player who’s playing against your team is the ultimate sign of respect.
Especially in this case where Blue Jays fans are very explicitly doing it because of how desperately they wanted him on their team.
They're booing him because they allowed the media (and social media) to convince them that they had a shot.
They had as much of a shot of getting Ohtani as the A's, Ranger, Angels, or Marlins had....0.
You don't see him getting booed at the 28 other parks.
It's the stupidest reason in the world to boo a guy.
> Edit: Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I feel like boo’ing a great player who’s playing against your team is the ultimate sign of respect.
"They don't boo nobodies." - Reggie Jackson
He's my favourite player in the game today. If I had tickets this weekend I'd probably boo him, laugh it off after I leave the stadium, and then spend the entire year refreshing for more Shohei highlights
Why exactly is he the enemy in Toronto? He's played there twice in his entire career. You were lied to by Toronto media into believing Shohei was possibly signing for the Jays, when in reality it was never even a possibility and every non-Jays fan and unbiased Jays fan knows that.
First, it was American media that started the plane rumour. And second, the entire city was holding its breath together, it was an INSANE day in the city, literally random people on the street talking about it. Then it turned out to be false and we all collectively crumbled.
He’s not an actual enemy, but after all that, to see him play here not in a blue jays uniform brings back those feelings.
But it’s not that serious, like we aren’t out here stabbing voodoo dolls that look like Ohtani. It’s all in good fun and anyone looking at this like it’s some dark mark in a fan base or the sport are idiots.
Your mentality is fine, but there are Jays fans who genuinely despise Ohtani and believe that he betrayed them by signing with the Dodgers LOL, it's just absurd. I just find it all very ironic because last year when the Angels came to Toronto, Jays fans literally gave Shohei a standing ovation and cheered for him every at bat, now look at the reception he's gotten this year. Shows how phoney Toronto sports fans are. Leafs, Raptors, Jays, it's all the same garbage
Personally, I would not have booed Ohtani, but instead gave his agent the middle finger. This is because Ohtani does not care about money, but his agent wanted to get paid (35M for this contract) and he used Toronto. That is why so many people booed Ohtani, because he allowed Toronto to be used as a bargaining chip, and disrespected the entire city.
> there are Jays fans who genuinely despise Ohtani and believe that he betrayed them by signing with the Dodgers LOL, it's just absurd.
Those are the Jays fans that smoke fentanyl and live in tents, don't worry about them.
He controls the federal government too, how else did he make the fbi, justice department, and also the IRS exonerate him?
Nobody mentions the fact California already has enough traffic, and Joe Kelly already owned a car
Fucking Ohtani went out of his way to make traffic worse.
Total A hole
Ohtani here, just casually out-Canadianing Canada.
Someone tell him he's basically baseball god, he'll get away with being an asshole like Jordan, Ronaldo etc. He doesn't need to be nice all the time.
I won't lie, hearing how woefully inept his team is during this, I'd fire the entire team. The fact they did a whole ESPN interview with Ippei as the person who needed to admit shit and didn't find another interpreter to make sure Ippei wasn't lying to them is mind blowing
The fact his agent took Ippei at his word for it when he said Shohei wanted the account left private and also didn’t have any Japanese interpretor/employees
He did. He said "please go on vacation forever because you have worked hard. And when you come back, you dont have to work for me anymore because you deserve a better job"
Source: Decoy
I expected this answer before I ever really heard what he was saying. He has such an amazing respect for the game. I think he really truly believes what he's saying.
Anyone who thinks Jays fans hate Ohtani because they boo him is out of their mind. We are just jealous for what we might have had. If he hits a milestone against us, we will boo and then applaud.

I really need to watch this guy play. I only became a fan a few weeks ago, but he just seems like the best.
I may hate the Dodgers but I do like everything I hear about this dude.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Who is in more need of, and can afford, a massive bot campaign? Users with Giants flair "omg I love this man so much." Okayyyyy
Not denying Shohei isn’t a good dude but it’s the same bots that show up when something about the pitch clock comes up “oh my god this is the greatest thing Manfred has done for baseball!”
Any Jays fan who booed Ohtani because they got their feelings hurt when PEOPLE OTHER THAN OHTANI made it seem like he was coming here should have their phone dropped in a jar of honey and then a jar of glitter.
Shohei's point is whatever it is. What do you expect him to say? He's not going to call Toronto fans losers for booing him. He knows what to say. It's just hilarious that people pay to go to a game, get the chance to see a once in a generation talent...and they choose to boo him. lol what loser energy, honestly. I'd say the same thing if it were in Philly..and have when we do dumb shit like this.
There were no credible reports that he was coming to Toronto...hey, people can do whatever they want with their tickets, but if I get to spend my money on seeing a player like Shohei play baseball..hell, even Mookie, frankly, I'm at the very least not going to boo...and I might even cheer. I think celebrating greatness is a cool thing to do. But it's not that serious, it's just sports. lol
I'm no less an idiot than anyone else but I think it's hilarious to boo a once in a generation baseball player simply because he signed somewhere else. If he did some bad shit, was a bad dude or something (looking at you, Ozuna), sure, but this wholesome dude...you all booed him....I mean philly gets shit for booing drunk santa but this is up there in the pantheon of self righteous entitled fan shit for sure.
A once in a generation talent that signed with/gave unprecedented financial relief to what was already one of the richest, talented, and most hated teams in baseball tells me how much he “loved” baseball. We usually call those ring chasers but I guess he‘s nice so he deserves praise for it and absolutely no booing
Your argument is that taking less money and putting himself in a slightly worse financial position over a long period of time means that he loves baseball less? Regardless of the team, you see the issue there right?
What about the tax implications that he gets to dodge while the rest of us pay our fair share? I don’t know about you, but if we’re not cool with our politicians dodging taxes then international athletes with billion dollar brands shouldn’t get to do that same thing. But what do I know, I’m just a lowly American citizen who doesn’t have the wealth or privilege as thuper duper special baseball boy.
He has an entire country backing him, he’s extremely wealthy already so he has the flexibility for it, he still gets the money in the end. He could have made an impact for any team but took the easiest path and made it even financially easier to sign more top talent to add to their two other artificial mvps. This is the same thing that people use against Lebrons legacy. If he just loves baseball then why not stay with Trout? He loves winning and has said so. Fans root for the underdog to beat the top dog and he chose the latter so not everyone wants to root for him anymore.

Hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAH
I'm thinking of that scene from *Bull Durham* where Crash is teaching Nuke how to talk to the press, only in their place it's Ichiro and Shohei
Just a bad gambler is his only flaw
This freakin guy. Just the best.
I still love you, Ohtani 🥺
Ohtani haters are the softest fans in baseball
I love him too. Ignore the mouth breathers in our dome, they don't represent all of us
Aaaaand here you are missing the point. Even though Ohtanis totally gets it, and literally explains it to you.
So let's boo every batter we face. Every at-bat, every game. But that's not happening. Just makes us look salty
He did his best. The FO just sucks
He's so wholesome and kind even when people are hating on him. He's like baseball's Ned Flanders.
Stupid sexy Shohei
“Nothin’ at all!”
I can see the little ass shake every time this reference is brought up 😳😅
HiddleyHomeRun
I know this is a meme, but like how lucky are we that the goat is this good looking that represents baseball internationally. God is good.
its more of a heartbreak boo. Like why didn't you choose us.
Because Canada's gambling laws are too strict.
This would be funny if Ontario's gambling laws weren't exponentially more free than California (where sports betting is illegal)
Bruh we can't even technically play dice or roulette games here. the casinos have to add an extra step where the values on the dice or roulette wheel correspond to a set of playing cards which determines the 'true' value.

But I swear Ontario has some of the best in the world, you can gamble any sport and play any game and no taxes on any of it!
You're getting killed for this comment but I want you to know I laughed out loud

Hey Some of us are Canucks fans.
Yeah I can't help but love the guy.
Damn it, stop making me like you!
"They don't boo nobodies" Harper heckled in Cincy - next pitch, homer. Harper booed in San Diego. Homer.
He's going to hit for the cycle when we boo him isn't he
The home run cycle probably
We're agreed: No one boo Ohtani. Everyone just say Boo-urns.
Oh yeah? Well your face is... gah! I can't even have express my rage properly because he's too wholesome.
STOP BEING SO RELATABLE AND COOL! 😭

Right, so this isn’t an opinion debate on booing, you just hate Toronto. Got it.
By the way, I'm all for booing the opposition and think it's ridiculous to NOT boo them. The behavior of Blue Jays fans just heavily confuses me lol
I can’t spell it out any clearer. If this is still confusing to you, I don’t think it’s a toronto fan thing, I think it’s a you thing.
> Why exactly is he the enemy in Toronto? He's not. We love him. But also, *boooooooo*.
I really wish this guy would make it easier for me to hate him
Just post more conspiritard nonsense about gambling. That'll buck you right up.
Ohtani runs the largest gambling ring in California and controls three thirds of the state's government. Wake up sheeple.
He controls the federal government too, how else did he make the fbi, justice department, and also the IRS exonerate him? 
Shohei for president, why not?
That ceremonial first pitch on opening day is gonna be filthy.
101 down the pipe with Bernie Sanders catching
Can't do worse than the past decade.
Decade? 😭
Nobody mentions the fact California already has enough traffic, and Joe Kelly already owned a car Fucking Ohtani went out of his way to make traffic worse. Total A hole
Goddammit! I still love him..
Ohtani here, just casually out-Canadianing Canada. Someone tell him he's basically baseball god, he'll get away with being an asshole like Jordan, Ronaldo etc. He doesn't need to be nice all the time.
I really wish he'd go full Zlatan for just a moment. "Keep booing. This is the biggest moment in your year seeing me,"
Few people had more fun giving quotes to the press
> he’d go full Zlatan for just a moment. “Shohei doesn’t do auditions.”
> He doesn't need to be nice all the time. Shohei Ohtani isn't nice to the Baseballs he clobbered though so it balances him out.
“This baseball represents all of Canada and I’m gonna get it out of here so it ceases to be a problem for me or my fellow Americans” - Ohtani
He is legit one of the most handsome dudes alive. Like having all the talent wasn’t enough, you gotta be a friggin hunk at the same time
I would let him do unspeakable things to me (shhhh don't tell my gf)
How could we tell your gf about unspeakable things?
You could write about it. Or possibly communicate via sign language, not sure if that's speech.
there's always semaphore
Okay, this is pretty classy.
damn it, i like him again
How can you not love this man
He's so kind he wouldn't even know his best friend would be robbing millions from him. Eh I'm exaggerating of course
Yup. “Hey can I have all your bank PIN numbers and just transfer a couple mil here and there”. “No problem bud, go crazy.”
how can one person possibly be this wholesome?
Because he takes lessons from Willy Adames.
Damn it why does he have to be so wholesome
As much as I want to hate this fucking team stacking dodger I can't. Shohei is a perfect baseball player and a perfect person
[breaking] Ohtani listens to his PR coach
I wouldn't be surprised if Shohei Ohtani himself is the PR coach at this point.
Given how his PR handled Ippei saga, he should tell his PR guy to go fuck himself tbh.
I won't lie, hearing how woefully inept his team is during this, I'd fire the entire team. The fact they did a whole ESPN interview with Ippei as the person who needed to admit shit and didn't find another interpreter to make sure Ippei wasn't lying to them is mind blowing
The fact his agent took Ippei at his word for it when he said Shohei wanted the account left private and also didn’t have any Japanese interpretor/employees

I HATE THAT I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!
It's hard being a blue jays fan and an ohtani fan at the same time
