Luis Ortiz pleads not guilty to rigging pitches at Brooklyn courthouse

1. Innocent until proven guilty, but this seems like a slam dunk for the prosecution

2. There you have it. Close the case.

3. Dude looks fucking DISTRESSED in that video

   I get it man, if I had to eat 60 McNuggets I’d probably have a tummy ache…I would hate to spend that many McNuggets in prison. Damn

   Also the MLB/betting apps’ reaction to this is fucking PATHETIC and flaccid. They’re damn near just as culpable as these guys. I’ve been getting this shit shoved down my throat since betting became legal. Can’t show a guy drinking beer on TV, but we can have networks sponsored by betting apps airing the games that you can bet on with IN-GAME BETTING LINES displayed during the broadcast? Are you fucking serious?

   Glad I’m not a problem gambler, but thank god they have the indecipherable disclaimer at the end if you “need help.” That’ll air just after the “post-game here are the odds for the next game” show is over.

4. Because he never threw any pitches while at the courthouse.

5. The heavy sentence push is likely leverage to make him talk more than he’d prefer to

6. My god dude, take the plea deal lol

7. Watching the video, I feel a little bad for him. This isn’t a violent criminal. He’s a 26 year old kid that made a massive mistake and has had his career ruined and prison hanging over his head for the last 6 months. He looks like he’s feeling the weight of that.

8. I can unequivocally say that Ortiz never rigged pitches! (at the Brooklyn courthouse)….

9. I feel like a sucker cause I was betting on first pitch home runs

10. This is standard. Pleads not guilty until they agree on a plea deal

11. Oof. 65 years?

12. Who really rigged the pitches? You guessed it…Frank Stallone.

13. Bruh has one of the best jobs in the area, maybe in the whole world, and he throws it away for wot mate
