Ohtani and Abreu talking and laughing at first base and both use interpreters in interviews. The “no speak english”charade by players today is comical. 
Pretty fucked up you don't think Abreu knows Japanese

Flipped over after the Rangers game.

How the fuck did they not get two outs on that bunt?

Maldy used his jedi mind trick, it's the same move he uses on Dusty every day to keep him in the starting lineup.

You just can’t trade a shitload of stuff for Ohtani. It’s 2 months. A blister, hangnail or oblique strain could shut him down and be a waste of all the talent you shipped off. A top 100 prospect and a couple other solid dudes?  Maybe. But Diaz and Brown as I saw some people say?  That’d be lunacy. 
Really nice if we can win an Ohtani start.

I mean not really.  In today's sound bite era, accidentally saying the wrong thing in English could get Ohtani in a ton of trouble back home.  Same with Abreu here.  If your aren't confident in comprehending the question or getting the words/sentence structure right I get it.  

I do think at some point Ohtani will start speaking English though.  He speaks pretty well, I think it's more comprehending questions properly.

Right. I was going to say that also but I just enjoy the ironic comedy of the growth of interpreters now a days and then watching them all talk to each other or watching them nod as Julia asks them a question and then wait for the interpreter lol. Says a lot more about toxic media and culture than their language skills. Anyway, back to baseball!

He's 3-5 all time against us in 12 starts 

He dominated us earlier this year, didn’t he?  I wasn’t super confident in France v Ohtani. Felt sorta like we were punting.

Dumbfounded this thread isn't full of how awful this umps zone is.  He is skewed a few inches to the left hand batters box.  Missing strikes inside and balls outside all damn game
