As a fan? It's sad that his teammates kept their mouths shut. At least 1 additional person in the clubhouse should have known what was going on, even if it was an interpreter, or gear manager, or someone. And Clase was an idiot for doing it repeatedly. I believe there are allegations that he made 10+ pitches that could be considered evidence against him. yikes!
As someone who doesn't gamble.... everyone in baseball saw this coming. Sadly, it won't be the last. But, it's just further proof that the US Congress is failing to regulate commerce in the NCAA and gambling. So many people are calling out notice that prop bets / microbetting on individual plays and players will lead to greater occurrence of incidents like this.
