Understanding だから...言ったろ


Here's the sentence:

> 「だから昨日も言ったろ、ボクもキミも怒られるタイプなんだって。」

だから as 'therefore' doesn't really work here so I'm going for "that's why".
However, I think 言ったろ means "did I not say". Putting it together I get

> That's why, did I not say yesterday that both you and me are the type who
> get told off.

But to make that work in English I need the comma or a pause for thought after
"that's why" otherwise I get something non-grammatical.

Is the sentence grammatical in Japanese or is a pause needed like my English
translation, or is my translation just wrong? Is there a better way to think
about だから and 言ったろ?




だから is sometimes used at the beginning of a sentence when the speaker is
trying to emphasize something already said. I've heard it said to me in this
usage as "だ〜か〜ら〜". I think you could translate this usage as "Like I said..."

To me, here the combination of だから plus 言ったろ（言っただろう） gives a strong feeling
that the speaker is annoyed with the other person.
