obviously it's way early and i'm sure there's an adjustment period (though tanaka stepped right in), but yamamoto who the yankees made a serious pitch for and who many here (including myself) wanted is off to a very rough start. 8+ ST ERA and 1 inning and 5 ER in his 1st regular season start. presumably needs to settle in but not pretty. can only imagine the calls michael kay would be getting about this  Way too early to be making any definitive judgments on the guy. But I'm sure it's not what the Dodgers envisioned. Unless there is something physically wrong with him, it doesn't make sense that after all he accomplished in Japan he suddenly lost it. A few more starts like that one, though, and there will be some indigestion in Chavez Ravine. And like most everyone else, I wanted the Yankees to sign him. |

This story won't be going away. I smell a rat. I think we’re going g to found out the interpreter was just a runner between Shohei and the bookies. Might have been getting a percentage. Then, what will MLB do??… |

Just my opinion, but I can only imagine how much more of a distraction and how much more of a big deal that situation would be if Ohtani signed with the Yankees. |

So much for Ohtani’s squeaky clean image…
