I mean, I get the gist of what you're saying, but beating a woman is more than "a mistake". Second chance? Yes, for sure. But domestic violence is not "a mistake". It's a despicable act of cowardice.
If I was a pitcher I’d agree with Bauer’s approach as well. That being said, he made a **** ton more money based on his career year last year (when he was presumably using the stick) vs. his career numbers up to 2019.
So much backlash from this! https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-aroldis-chapman-suspended-30-games-c165860226
Two things are for sure: You have a personal vendetta against Deshaun Watson and you don't respect due process.
I thought Cora was just a lowly bench coach, and the players are all mean, dirty, little snitches, except Mike Fiers of course who is a hero.
From the article "Gerrit as well of our staff members, I believe, are mostly above board..." Translation: "Gerritt as well of our staff members, I believe, are just cheating a little bit..."
It will be interesting to see how the crack down affects the Astros pitchers. Would hate to see Framber lose his nastiness.
Lol at Cole. Dude was totally unprepared and took the worst possible position which was the middle. Deny. Deny. Deny. Or just tell the truth. But he took the little kid hand caught in the cookie jar approach. These are not the cookie crumbs you are looking for. Sad thing is, we won't know if he's an average pitcher or not until mlb shuts it down. But this pretty much said it all. It's why I wished Strom retired early, because if this gets bigger, and it could, he's likely going down with the ship. But it is what it is. MLB just has to decide how to handle and if one ship is going to sink or not with it. Funny tho that the Yanks always seem to get 'the guy" who represents the scandal right before the balloon bursts. This might be another albatross for them.
Like clockwork... the Athletic pinning this all on the Astros. Again. https://theathletic.com/2640361/202...r-tack-and-other-foreign-substances-answered/ The Houston Astros were early to what we should probably now call a “spin rate revolution” (no pun intended). In 2014, Houston claimed struggling right-handed pitcher Collin McHugh off waivers in part because of the high rpm on his curveball. [...] Bauer saw the broader change from pitchers using substances for control and pitchers using substances for spin beginning to take place, and in 2018 sent a tweet referencing the advantage a team would get if they traded for a pitcher knowing they could increase his spin rate “overnight” (with the use of a foreign substance), obliquely referencing Cole and the Houston Astros.
