[Music] You’re tuning into Black and White Sports on YouTube. The No Holds Bar Truth on Sports. The main event starts now. Well, black and white sports fans, I told you guys that the NBA was not the only league. I told you guys that the NFL was not the only league. I told you guys that NCAA basketball were not the only ones. Folks, we got some big news here. And this is Major League Baseball. Now, Rose, throughout the history of Major League Baseball, man, there’s been some big time scandals, right? Sure has. When it comes to um gambling, well, throwing games, there was a legendary ball player by the name of Pete Rose that for years and years was not in the Hall of Fame. Some some argue he’s a top five player ever. No doubt about it. Because of betting on baseball. Yeah. Yeah. Um th this is some big news here. I don’t know all the details of it, man. I literally when you sent when you sent it to me, I was like, “Oh, this couple of pictures here.” Yes, they have been um put on extended leave now for the involvement in this. Now, is this tied to the mob? Possibly. I That was my first thought. I was like that I I was like they were arrested in Brooklyn or they indicted them in Brooklyn. So I think that’s what it said. We’ll get to the story. But my first thought was is the mafia involved in this? Is the involved in this? Yeah. Uh let’s look at this here. This is just breaking. Also, by the way, Paul Taglibu passed away. Yeah. Now, now this story is an older story. Okay? The story you’re looking at right here, look, look, that’s why I sent it to you. MLB had put these two on a leave on a leave earlier. I didn’t either. So, they put them on a leak. So, that tells me Rob Manford was smelling something already or somebody gave him a heads up something was happening. Wow. involving these two. So, we’re going to have to get an explanation as to, okay, what all did it the did Major League Baseball already know about? Hm. You know, because I was like, oh, when I started looking, I was trying to find a full story to go with what just broke. And I found that. I was like, oh, okay. Something was brewing. They knew something was brewing. Yeah. So right here, Jeff Passen breaking Cleveland Indians pitchers Emanuel Clay and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to red bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Yeah. Ortiz was arrested. Yeah. Yeah. In Boston earlier today. Uh Clay is not uh currently in custody. Yeah. Wow. And uh the real real Randy Quaid uh tads us both into this. Whoa. And and I’m wondering if I noticed both of these guys are Dominican Republic dudes and I don’t know if Case maybe is out of the country right now. I I you know we don’t we don’t know what that all this is new. All this is new. Yeah. So and it’s it’s just breaking. And in relation, let me just let me just read this to you. In relation to the prior story I sent you, Bob Nightingale of USA Today had reported that that quote there was considering evidence so far that MLB and the players union are expected to extend a suspension for Case and Ortiz through the end of the regular season. That was in regards to an investigation by Major League Baseball for unusual gambling activity for weeks involving these two. Really? So now it’s it’s it’s spread into a whole it it’s we’re we’re legal now. Uh okay. I got a a newer story right here. Oh, good. Good. Okay. Yeah. Indians pitchers Emanuel Clay and Luis Luis Ortiz. um uh indicted in a gambling scheme bombshell. Uh so they’re both from the Dominican. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that’s where they’re that’s that’s where they’re from. Oh, they’re both from there. So, his name is pronounced Emanuel Classy then. Anyway, yeah. Okay. Cleveland Indians pitchers Emanuel Classy and Luis Ortiz have been indicted in relation to a scheme to rid bets on pitches thrown during games. Ortiz um was arrested Sunday in Boston. Well, while uh Classy has not been arrested, the indictment says the pitchers agree in advance with their co-conspirators on specific uh pitches that they would uh throw in MLB games. And the co-conspirators then use that information to place hundreds of fraudulent bets on those pitchers. Wow. Okay. there. Somebody put out a compilation of one of these pictures and it’s just him throwing pitches straight into the damn dirt. Oh, we just saw that, RHS. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right here. I mean, it was on Jeff Passen’s uh post underneath. Yeah. Yeah. It’s um it’s right here. Look, is this um this post right here? Yeah. Just just pitch after pitch straight in the dirt. Yeah. In the dirt. I mean, wow. Wow. That is unreal, man. That’s crazy. Absolutely unreal. Bonkers. Yeah. But but let’s go back over here. Okay. Yeah. Uh Classy, the uh Indians All-Star closer, agreed to begin rigging prop bets around May 20 May of 2023. and at times receive bribes and kit bats. Ortiz joined a scheme in June of this year per the indictment. They’re facing charges of uh wire fraud, conspiracy, honest services, uh wire fraud, conspiracy, conspiracy to influence uh sporting contest by bribery and money laundering conspiracy. Wow. And it does say they were placed on leave in um July. And they mentioned the um the NBA um gambling scheme too as well. Wow. Okay. And now Ortiz I I wanted to look this up because I was curious as you was talking about that he was only making $782,000 as his salary. Okay. which I I find is shocking uh in today’s MLB. But how did you pronounce the other guy’s name? Clay. Yeah, Clay. Uh he is making 4.9 million for his salary. So I was because when they said, “Well, there’s kickbacks happening here.” And I’m like, well, I I hope it’s a significant amount of kickbacks, you know, to forfeit that kind of because if you get caught, you’re screwed. But comparably speaking, that’s a lower salary for MLB. I mean, in a day, you know, I mean, especially 782,000 is peanuts. And I didn’t even I didn’t even I thought the league minimum was, you know, higher than that. Maybe it is. Maybe he just wasn’t on the squad. the entire year or something like that. I mean, I don’t And only one of them so far has been arrested as of now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Man, this is bad. That’s Hey, hey, what what what do we say? What what’s been happening? All these all these sports leagues jumped straight into bed with DraftKings, FanDuel, Bed MGM, all these outfits about two years ago. And in that time span, we’ve had how many leagues with gambling scandals now? I mean, uh, NCAA basketball, NBA, a former NFL player linked to the NBA thing too as well. It’s bad, man. Uh, and you notice how many of them is around prop bets, things the players can control is the is the real real issue. Yeah. Yeah. And those pitchers, man, they control which uh pitches they actually throw. I mean, I can go out there and throw a pitch into the dirt. Yeah. Wow. So, anything else, roads? No. No. And and this won’t be the last either. Definitely not. Definitely not. Yeah. That’s going to wrap it up, guys. Right now, Roger Goodell has got to be sweating gargantuan amounts of bullets. He’s got to be. Yeah. Because the NFL, boy, that’s going to be the one. Yeah, it’s going to it’s going to be big, man. They’re going to be the next one to explode. We still don’t know that former NFL player involving the poker games with uh the NBA uh players. We don’t know who he is. Yeah. But trust me, when it comes to on the- field gambling with the NFL, Oh, that’s coming. That’s coming right there. Yeah. So, peace. We’re out. Till next time. Thanks for watching the show.
