[DigitalRock]

What a game...Stros will win unfortunately

[Orgfiller]

Fun fact: the Mets had more World Series appearances this decade than the Yankees.

[Spanky99]

Wtf are you ranting about you simpleton?

 

[Ex Player]

Is that you on your way to the next AA meeting??

[G-Snarls]

I'm so psyched for this world series. The 2 best rotations in baseball going at it, perfect for those who appreciate workhorse starting pitching.

 

Heck yeah

 

Elite SP vs excellent lineups

 

Lovw it

[DigitalRock]

Is that you on your way to the next AA meeting??

Jays would've been in the WS if they had syndergaard dammit

"With Saturday's loss, the Yankees have gone ten years without winning the pennant, making the 2010s the first decade since 1910s in which they haven't reached a World Series."

 

That's pretty insane.

Glad we got rid of Osuna when we did, he is turning into a PR nightmare for the Astros right now at a bad time.

And in the center of the room, assistant general manager Brandon Taubman turned to a group of three female reporters, including one wearing a purple domestic-violence awareness bracelet, and yelled, half a dozen times, “Thank God we got Osuna! I’m so f------ glad we got Osuna!”

 

The outburst was offensive and frightening enough that another Houston staffer apologized. The Astros declined to comment. They also declined to make Taubman available for an interview.

 

Several witnesses have corroborated the SI report.

[thatoneguy]

Taubman should be f***ing gone. Gonna be a black cloud over the WS once this hits the airwaves.

This story is so dumb. It's sad to see people eat up garbage like this and call for someone's job. People believe a baseball executive in the middle of a press suite turned specifically to a woman who was wearing an anti domestic violence BRACELET and gloated that they acquired a wife beater?

[Barkerfan23]

This is absolutely garbage. He should be fired today, instead of being defended.

No they all got together and made it up to ruin somone's life.

 

I hate domestic violence deniers.

I actually did not know this board was so sensitive.

 

We're arguing about an front office member shouting out “Thank God we got Osuna! I’m so f------ glad we got Osuna!” in the vicinity of three women reporters one of which was wearing an anti domestic violence bracelet.

 

 

People want this guy to lose his f***ing job because of this? How exactly does everyone know his intent was specifically to target these women and why these women? Did he instantly see that bracelet and think "Got to put this feminist in her f***ing place"

 

It's kind of hard to believe any of the witnesses after the fact now because if you take the wrong stance on this you're in for a PR nightmare so they all just stick with the one side you know you can't be wrong on.

[Brownie19]

Nats add Wander Suero to the WS roster. Crazy to think he wasn't already on it seeing as he was their 5th best pitcher this year posting 1.5 WAR out of the pen.

[Carlos Danger]

You are an absolute s*** stain.

 

You are calling him a s*** stain for him calling out fake news.. The Astros say it was in response to a question about the blown save.. You have no more proof than anyone else here as to what is true.. This guy and NO one should be found guilty, tarred, feathered and fired based on one side of an account.

 

I think it is pretty obvious Slade is calling out the part that smells like BS..

The Houston organization did not dispute what Taubman said, but labeled the story “misleading.” The Astros claimed, in conflict with the above-cited reports, that: “An Astros player was being asked questions about a difficult outing. Our executive was supporting the player during a difficult time. His comments had everything to do about the game situation that just occurred and nothing else — they were also not directed toward any specific reporters.”

[Barkerfan23]

. Our executive was supporting the player during a difficult time.”

 

Yeah because the athlete beating the s*** out of a defenceless 100lb woman is really the victim here

 

Hitler was also going through a difficult time when he ordered all those Jews on the train

 

Our executive was only supporting Hitler during a difficult time

Osuna = Hitler

[Abomination]

I'm sure there's a hell of a lot more to this story. I could easily see a scenario where those reporters have been pestering the front office about Osuna for quite some time, and Taubman being a little drunk after advancing, felt vindicated in taking the chance on acquiring Osuna and wanted everyone to know it, without considering how it might be interpreted. It's also possible that he's simply a prick.

 

Either way, it's not a good look. He either screwed up without meaning any offense, or it was directed specifically at the female reporters on purpose. Regardless, he screwed up.
