    Here's the thing. Even if the hottest woman in the world told me to strangle her until she passed out and then punch hard enough to give her a black eye and make her bleed in order to have sex with her, I would not. That is not acceptable behavior. Even UFC fights are stopped after someone gets choked out.

    Not a good sign for Bauer’s innocence. Aside from Bauer himself, nobody has more invested in him being innocent than the Dodgers, and aside from Bauer, the victim, and the police, nobody likely has more information than the Dodgers.

    Bauer is going to go to jail and even if he doesn't he pretty much admitted to be a dirtbag. He just hasn't admitted to being a criminal dirtbag.

    It gives me pleasure to watch a big market team pay the big bucks for a piece only to have it all blow up on them. In a lesser and different way, Cole has sorta blown up for NYY.

    Happy about both.

    Such a non-story these days. I'm so glad I don't care what the national media asswipes are trying to hang onto.

    Dude!

    That's a bit uncalled for but I see multiple people enjoy this type of stuff.

    Not sure if this is it?

    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/astros/article/MLB-All-Stars-not-bothered-by-Astros-absences-16310084.php

    DENVER — Ever since the 2017 Astros were exposed as participants in a sign-stealing scheme, the unforgiving baseball world has scrutinized and scandalized every move the team makes — including the decision of four Astros not to play in the 2021 MLB All-Star Game.

    Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Michael Brantley and Ryan Pressly were voted by players as All-Star reserves. All four decided not to attend; Altuve and Brantley cited health reasons, while Correa and Pressly said they wanted to stay home with their pregnant wives.

    The Astros have already faced merciless boos in every road ballpark they visited this season as a result of the scandal. Altuve and Correa, two of the stars on the 2017 World Series squad, get it the worst. Brantley and Pressly were not in Houston for the 2017 season.

    Even so, fans and media have theorized that the Astros declined to appear at the All-Star Game in Denver because they were reluctant to receive a hostile reception from the crowd and from their peers in the clubhouse. (Fans did boo Orbit, the Astros’ mascot, at Monday’s Home Run Derby).

    For the other All-Stars who decided to play in the exhibition, however, the Astros’ absence is a non-issue.

    “I think with the players, it is what it is,” Rangers pitcher Kyle Gibson said Monday. “I think you’ve had your chance to play alongside those guys on the other side of the field and kind of deal with it inside. I wasn’t actually impacted by it, so maybe it’s a little different if I’d been in a clubhouse that was on a grander scale. But I’ve talked to a few of those guys. I know Ryan Pressly really well, so still talking to him. Some of those guys I’m sure are good people, just maybe caught up in a time where they had to make some tough decisions.”

    Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, who was on the Los Angeles team bested by Houston in the 2017 World Series, sidestepped a question about the Astros’ absence.

    “I think it’s an honor to be selected an All-Star, and I don’t necessarily always agree with the decisions to not come, but everyone has their own reasons for what they do, and I’m just happy to be here,” he said.

    Yankees slugger Aaron Judge said he doesn’t think there would have been much awkwardness or animosity directed at the Astros in the American League clubhouse.

    “It’s tough to say. I don’t think so, because this is a time where we celebrate the game,” Judge said. “If you’re at the All-Star Game in the clubhouse, that’s a tough room to get into, you know? So I don’t think guys would be holding anything over anyone’s head.”

    Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who played for the Astros in 2018 and 2019, respectfully declined to speculate.

    “I definitely don’t enjoy being in the middle of that,” he said, “and I have really no opinion on it, to be honest.”

    Pitcher Chris Bassitt, whose Oakland A’s team is a division rival of Houston and had the chief whistle blower in former Astro Mike Fiers, said he also thinks the storyline is overblown.

    “I think it’s a bigger media story than player story, honestly,” he said. “It wasn’t just the Astros. So it is what it is. Obviously, I have teammates who played with them. I know how good of people those guys are. They were stuck in a bad situation. So yeah, I think it’s a massive media thing, but from a player standpoint, I think a lot of people are kinda over it.”

    The Astros are not outliers in deciding to skip the All-Star game; Mets ace Jacob deGrom and Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina also opted out because they wanted to rest and get healthy for the second half of the season.

    Multiple All-Stars on Monday theorized that returning to a full-length schedule this season following a shortened 2020 schedule has taken a toll.

    “Having COVID and a shortened season, now coming back and playing 162 games is a big shock to the system,” Judge said. “I think it’s smart that a lot of guys are going to stay back and rest up. It’s the right thing to do. It’s their career.”

    Said Gibson, “I know there’s guys that are always playing through injuries that aren’t actually IL injuries and stuff like that, so I guess that could play into it. Those are all personal questions and personal decisions that people have to make for themselves.”
