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 needn’t twist my arm any further.

I’m not saying that.

Not on a forum that could be pulled up as evidence.

I’ll say it. But I’m a woman and no one would believe me.

You don’t think the Judge would ā€œseal 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.

It’s 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, I’m having trouble finding anyone really talking about it, other than just the ones ā€œreportingā€ 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 I’ve seen in years, if it’s true of course.

Bauer’s defense is the old ā€œshe asked for itā€ from what I’ve 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 he’s 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 MLB’s own website–complete and utter silence.

I did do a search on MLB’s 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 didn’t report it to law enforcement.

Does anyone wonder if this was his first time with ā€œroughā€ 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.

He’s a rich white male, so we have to think of his future

Given Manfred’s relationship with the Yankees and Dodgers, he probably doesn’t think there’s anything out of the ordinary with abusive sex.
