Ohanti leaves game - cramping in his lower half

Ohtani's start cut short in 4th due to cramping

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani threw six straight balls in the fourth inning and left the mound after dealing with cramping in his lower half during Wednesday night's start against the Reds.

Gold have you ever had to leave a gathering because of cramping in your lower half??

Looks like no more pitching for Ohtani..

I hope this is just a minor issue like Archie mentions. But, even if its something more, it didn't sound like anything that would be an extended stay on IR.
Either way he'd be back for playoffs.

If not his translator, it's the agent. Who's next?

"The suit accuses Ohtani and Balelo of tortious interference and unjust enrichment. Hayes, a developer with 40 years of experience, and Matsumoto, who was to be the listing agent for the houses averaging $17.3 million each, say that Ohtani and Balelo also tried to undermine their interests in a second, neighboring venture."

too much smoke around ohtani for shady shit. 2nd thing in the span of a few years. where there smoke, there is fire.

also, he should attempt to learn english. all players should learn english. just like if i went to japan to play, i would attempt to learn japanese. i hate when players just speak in their native tongue after being here for years. no respect for being able to make a living here.

Guys, He can speak English. Its not great and has a really "hard" accent but he can understand and speak english probably as good as many latin american players.

So why does he use an interpretor regularly when speaking with the press??? Google search.....

Shohei Ohtani can speak English, but he often uses a translator in interviews and public appearances. While he is comfortable speaking English, he chooses to use an interpreter to ensure his messages are conveyed accurately and to avoid any potential misinterpretations.

I think there's also a fear of bashing on social media.
