Manfred is a gutless eunuch. If Bauer played in the NFL, those accusations would be enough to warrant an immediate suspension.
You mean the Yankee team that already has a shitbag abuser as their closer? That team?
Look, if you guys are trying to convince me that we should publicly drown ALL the Yankees and most of their fans, you neednāt twist my arm any further.
Iām not saying that.
Not on a forum that could be pulled up as evidence.
Iāll say it. But Iām a woman and no one would believe me.
You donāt think the Judge would āseal the envelopeā for an Astros fan? Neither do I.
In regard to Bauer, where are all the reporters now? Especially Footer. She really went at the Astros, with cause, but nothing now? I hate that crap. Go after them all.
Itās actually quite disgusting. I remember her brushing off questions of hypocrisy over her silence when it came to Chapman, Reyes and others that had nothing to do with the Astros, including Osuna before he became an Astro. Here we are again, pretty sure she was silent on German too. Maybe she had an axe to grind with Luhnow and Co?
She is not alone though, Iām having trouble finding anyone really talking about it, other than just the ones āreportingā on it. Nobody is on their soapbox for this one. If you read the Athletic article, this to me is one of the most egregious cases Iāve seen in years, if itās true of course.
Bauerās defense is the old āshe asked for itā from what Iāve read. Makes me think it happened.
She came forward with details and now it is up to the court. My expectation? Women should avoid him because heās not going any where.
The story is showing up in local newspapers across the country, in USA Today, the Athletic and SI, even in The Guardian. The MLBās own websiteācomplete and utter silence.
I did do a search on MLBās page and found a link to the story.
If Bauer pitched for the Astros, he already would have been suspended by the league.
The whiny little bitch fest going on between Josh Donaldson and Lucas Giolito is amusing.
Brittany Ghiroli has put out graphic details via the Athletic ($)
In my recollection, have they suspended other players for domestic violence prior to charges? MLB has to respond to this.
German was never charged as the victim didnāt report it to law enforcement.
Does anyone wonder if this was his first time with āroughā sex??
I was thinking the women of Ohio were thrilled he signed out of state. Thrilled.
She made the mistake of going back there a second time, but she did not consent to any of that.
He needs to be in jail.
Heās a rich white male, so we have to think of his future
Given Manfredās relationship with the Yankees and Dodgers, he probably doesnāt think thereās anything out of the ordinary with abusive sex.
