SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean police said they’ve found no explosives at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome after searching the site Wednesday following a reported bomb threat against Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
About 150 police officers used sniffer dogs, X-ray detectors and other equipment to search through the stadium, but no suspicious objects were discovered, according to Seoul’s Guro police station.
Police officers said they acted on a tip that there was a threat targeting the Japanese star but didn’t elaborate.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said the search happened after South Korea’s consulate general in Vancouver, Canada received an email threatening to detonate an explosive at the Gocheok stadium during the Major League Baseball opening game between the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres scheduled to start later Wednesday. The game will mark the first MLB regular season game in South Korea.
Yonhap said the sender of the English-language email claimed to be a Japanese lawyer. Yonhap cited police as suspecting the email might have come from a person who last year allegedly sent a number of similar threatening emails and faxes while claiming to be a Japanese lawyer.
Police and bomb-sniffing canines were seen searching the seats and hallways of the stadium during the morning. The search did not appear to affect game preparations, with groundcrews checking the fields and K-pop performers rehearsing in the outfield.
Guro police officers said about 350 officers will be deployed by the time the Dodger-Padres game begins.

Yeah it seems fairly likely that the first story the interpreter told, that he had debts, asked Ohtani to help him and he did it personally because he didn't trust the guy with his money, seems like the truth to me. Then someone in Ohtani's camp pointed out that might actually be wire fraud in California so they scrambled to say it was theft. No good deed, etc.. I don't believe for a second that anyone really wants to look any closer into this.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Kikuchi has looked awful in his last two starts. Getting hit hard today. Gave up 6 runs with 3HRs and 3BBs on only 3.1 innings pitched. Not good.

Not good indeed. But the big bats have looked very good, Springer, Bo, Vlad, Turner, Kirk... if all are headed for the higher end of our expectations, the offence will be better even with the subtractions.
