Ex Indians update

[bushwick_bill]

Starting to wonder if Bauer ever pitches in baseball again. What team is going to sign him after the Dodgers cut their losses... I don't think he is welcomed back in the clubhouse in LA. And I am sure there are more than two women he has assaulted.

And here we go.

Cookie getting lit up by Dodgers; given up six runs by second inning.

Trevor Bauer appears to be a psychopath. No other way to spin it.

just wow. More will come out, has to be more than two women. Not surprising
Omar is surprising and more sad to me

Something to think about... man, some of the personalities looking back at our glory days in the 90s teams had some serious issues...

Omar - accused of domestic violence and sexual harassment
Robbie Alomar - sexual misconduct
Manny Ramirez - PED issues and "Manny" moments
John Rocker - multiple incendiary comments
Albert Belle - alcoholism, corked bat, served jail time for stalking his ex, and also had an indecent exposure charge with DUI

Jason Grimsley should have a category all to himself.

There is a lot more media coverage now, driven by the internet.

There is also a lot more advocacy for women's rights....and a general increase of intolerance for bad behavior.

Boys will be boys, a generally accepted excuse in the past, is now verboten.

I'm not sure Manny belongs in the category based on what we know to this point....same with a corked bat, but Albert has plenty of other issues, to be sure.

I mean, even taking aside Belle's corked bat, he still stalked his ex and served jail time for that... so that alone...

Indeed -- I agreed with that part above. Causing danger/harm to others just strikes me as much different that issues between the lines, and around the game.

Rocker and Belle where known to have issues while playing and Manny being Manny was also said during his playing days.

Only Omar and Robbie are recent info, and Rocker was not a big part of our 90's success either.

A major Belle story was him chasing those halloweeners down in his car.

Hart traded for Rocker just AFTER his incendiary public comments....something this FO would not do.

We shy away from the headcases anymore. Wonder if we'd shy away from talents of that level.

Bauer's comments cone off as very tone deaf. I cant think of a single sexual assault case where the assailant came out with details such as that and everyone said, "see he couldn't have done that". Even if proven innocent many people still will hold it against the accused. Honestly, until his farewell tour, people still brought up Denver with Kobe. Some even until his death.


Just shut the fuck up and let the courts handle it. If you're really "not guilty" here; public opinion shouldn't be your 1st thought.
