Hours before the Dodgers lost to the Pirates, Shohei Ohtani seemed to receive some official closure off the field.
As a reporter noted the considerable amount of conversation dedicated to the scandal surrounding Shohei Ohtani’s ex-interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, this year, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts cut the query off mid-sentence. “I know we’ve talked about this a lot…” the question began. “Yes,” Roberts quipped, flatly. “We have.” After Tuesday, Roberts, Ohtani and the entire Dodgers organization are hoping they won’t have to waste such breath ever again.
“Honestly, we haven’t been following it,” Roberts added. “So I hope it’s closure. That’d be great if it’s closure. We’ve all been ready to move on.” In Ohtani’s case, this might be a good time to open a new chapter on the field, too. Entering Tuesday, the slugger had been mired in a two-week slump, batting just .193 over his last 15 games . Then, Ohtani epitomized the Dodgers’ continued struggles by going just one-for-four at the plate.
