Trevor Bauer discussion thread

[Terminator]

Why are Dyson and Bauer getting lengthy suspensions with no charges but Russell, Ozuna and others are getting 20-40 games?

[L54]

It's hard to accept such a long suspension relative to others when the DA declined to press charges and we have no idea what he actually did. I don't trust MLB to provide good baseballs, let alone determine the correct and fair punishment in a politically charged case involving a polarizing figure.

 

Well said.

[Jonn]

What does he even do in the meantime. Can he pitch in Japan or Korea or will those leagues honour the suspension from

MLB.

[L54]

The first. The percentage of women that have experienced sexual abuse / violence is very high, and those that haven't are well aware of the fact. That's over 50% of the populace and isn't a good percentage of males that think Bauer is a f'ing creep that should be banned from baseball.

 

Is your argument that all women think Bauer is guilty? Dumn

[L54]

Just like Sheryl...

 

Sorry, couldnt pass it up.

 

No Sheryl does have balls

 

Travis Ring

 

Or something

[Dr. Dinger]

It’s crazy how the league is willing to alienate a majority of their fans on this issue

 

Lol don’t be a f***ing idiot

[Dr. Dinger]

Are you a 12 year old hillbilly? You actually think it’s funny to poke fun at a trans person? You’re a loser.

Apparently not. He's free to pitch for a few hundred bucks a week on the indies.

I’ll call they Sheryl but what I said is factually sound

[King]

Sources tell me the Winnipeg Goldeyes have signed Trevor Bauer to a supermax contract of 8yrs/40k. Trevor will report to Winnipeg immediately.

[L54]

Lol don’t be a f***ing idiot

 

Lol okay

Wow!

[Dr. Dinger]

You have no idea what the state of Sheryl’s genitalia is, it’s none of your business, and the fact that you think it’s a funny thing to joke about shows what a small man you are. Check yourself, fool.

Check yourself lmao

 

Okay Dinger. Glad you climbed out of the woodwork to stick up for Sheryl

Settle bro, we made Nazi jokes on our podcast (pretty sure you were there on that episode, if not, i apologize) so ... joking is just joking. Nobody is advocating her death.

[King]

Dinger is 100% right. Hope we see some bans in here. This board should be about inclusivity for everyone. What would a trans poster think of those posts? Not very welcoming.

[BTS]

The urge to ban King is immense, but I think I can keep it under control.

You should be banning the transphobes, not me. I love trans people and I support Sheryl Ring.

[metafour]

Please remember everyone, we must also be welcoming to Trevor Bauer - so we should refrain from bullying the man. If this suspension holds true, he may want to join our forum since he will have free time on his hands - in which case I don't believe he will feel welcomed!

[Dr. Dinger]

I doubt I said anything I wouldn’t stand by now. Maybe Allan called somebody a Nazi in obvious jest, but it’s not like we ever made racist or homophobic jokes. Also, times have changed a lot even in two years.

[connorp]

This s*** is not standing. Wow

[John_Havok]

I doubt I said anything I wouldn’t stand by now. Maybe Allan called somebody a Nazi in obvious jest, but it’s not like we ever made racist or homophobic jokes. Also, times have changed a lot even in two years.

 

Yeah, like I said I cant really recall if you were on that episode or not. It's okay to joke as long as it's not coming from a place of malice.

 

Or if you make fun of alopecia apparantly

[connorp]

Baseball pulling a Disney for show. There’s no way they could reasonably expect this to stand based on precedent. Break out the popcorn. But Bauer officially done as LAD either way. That was always going to be though

Precedent may not have the effect it once had. Politics are writ large over this decison. The Overton window has shifted a lot in the past two years. Now there seems to be no redemptive path from physical abuse of another; especially if it is male on female abuse.

[Buster]

I still don't know what MLB is claiming he did wrong.

 

Consensual rough sex? That's pretty Victorian.

Straight from the MLB policy, he can only be suspended for something that falls under:

 

Domestic violence: is a pattern of abusive behavior in any intimate relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. It occurs in heterosexual and same sex relationships and impacts individuals from all economic, educational, cultural, age, gender, racial, and religious demographics. Domestic violence includes, but is not limited to, physical or sexual violence, emotional and/or psychological intimidation, verbal violence, stalking, economic control, harassment, physical intimidation, or injury. Notwithstanding this definition, a single incident of abusive behavior in any intimate relationship, or a single incident of abusive behavior involving a female member of a Player’s family who is domiciled with him, may subject a Player to discipline under this Policy.

 

Sexual assault: refers to a range of behaviors, including a completed nonconsensual sex act, an attempted nonconsensual sex act, and/or nonconsensual sexual contact. Lack of consent is inferred when a person uses force, harassment, threat of force, threat of adverse personnel or disciplinary action, or other coercion, or when the victim is asleep, incapacitated, unconscious or legally incapable of consent.

 

Child abuse: is any act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation of a child who is under the age of 18 or not an emancipated minor, or any act or failure

to act which presents an imminent risk of such harm to such a child.

 

This policy covers acts of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault (together, “Covered Act”) as defined above.

 

 

Obviosuly cannot be under child abuse, so he's clearly being suspended under an interpretation of either the 1st or 2nd definition

[Spanky99]

He's simply getting cancelled, ridiculous.

[John_Havok]

Keep Alopecia's name... out your f***ing mouth.

 

Fight me ya uphill gardening troglodytic bike!

I agree with your sentiment that politics are all over the initial decision by mlb. I’m not sure who the arbitrator would be and would guidelines and influences they’d be under
