  4. The problem isn’t even any specific pitch here, it’s that now *every pitch* has to be at least somewhat in question. It puts the entire integrity of the game in doubt.

  7. The concept of someone that has had a walk percentage of 6% or below (in some cases below 4%) his entire career being unable to throw first pitches that aren’t 45 feet out of the zone is hilarious

  8. We thought point shaving was bad. Whose idea was it to allow betting on any one specific play and think that the mob wouldn’t get involved?

  11. You just have to cheat *without* betting, win the world series, and then you get away without any significant punishment.

  12. I faced Clase in MLB The Show last night and my opponent intentionally spiked the first pitch in the ground and had me dying lmao

  18. So first pitch every 9th inning he just throws it into the dirt….did they even TRY to avoid getting caught? Not even intelligent enough to stagger the batter of the inning, or even batter -> pitch number?

    Did they WANT to get caught?

  19. That bet365 sign at 0:09 really ironic. Maybe, just maybe, these things shouldn’t be advertised…? Idk just spitballing

  20. I should not have to teach someone about prop bets when discussing how to play baseball. This why it’s bad and why MLB needs to get a grip on this before it gets out of control.

  23. Dude must’ve had some serious skeletons in his closet for him to throw away millions of dollars for only a few G’s

  24. Manfred is probably thinking, “Oh, come on. We finally got over the Ohtani betting scandal”.
