Around Baseball 2024

I think his problem now is that while he has seemingly been vindicated after his main accuser was completely discredited, he still has other cases out there that haven't gotten as much pub.

 

So the worry for teams now is that signing him would get those other cases propped up and pushed to the forefront. Then comes the media circus and you might just have to cut him again.

 

Idk, I still think the right team should sign him. Texas Rangers seem like a good fit.

That is 100% what will happen. They obviously investigated and know something else is out there.

Texas and Houston agreed. The wild Wild West

Britt McHenry is a conservative sports journalist (of sorts) and she's not the type to be anti-Bauer by nature. But she claims to have seen the goods on these other cases and says Bauer is cooked.

 

I think some of these other cases are actually pending in court right now even. It just makes it impossible to sign him right now.

I found the having support from GMs league wide bit to be new. Haven’t heard him say that before

[Jimcanuck]

Toxic to a large portion of a team's fanbase. KC Chiefs are having the same problem after Butker comments.

If only people would actually quote what he said instead of what they “heard from someone” that he said.

[hanton]

X stats are stupid

 

do you want me to calculate the Catch Probability for you?

[hanton]

I didn’t see the play in question, but I’d have a hard time believing many plays only get made 2 out of 100 times

 

robbed Teo of a home run

And what he said wouldn't bother you, but it would bother a large portion of the NFL fanbase.

Reported for politics. By my count I have now reported Jim 1,081 times for posting about politics. A lifetime ban is warranted at this point.

It's baseball related, i.e., Bauer

 

1,081 reports, and never banned. What does that tell ya?

Twitter sheep do not constitute a “large portion of the fanbase.” A large portion of the fanbase agrees with Butker.

Your bald statements are meaningless. If Butker impacts on NFL revenue, he risks being out of a job, just like Bauer. And Kaepernick.

[Spanky__99]

I hear Butkers' jersey is the top seller in the NFL the past few days, hahaha... Jim seems to have zero clue about how that league deals with controversy, and it's nothing at all. f*** off, with your bait.

Suck a bag of dicks, Spank-off.

Sorry mate, you tried.

[Jimcanuck]

Sorry mate, you tried.

 

Tried what? Just pointing out that Bauer is not the only case of a player becoming toxic to a league. Bauer and Kaepernick being the most well known.

Not true, you were banned for a day once. I think I banned like half the forum that day.

You're toxic. Bauer's still likely good, but exiled by the owners. The other is a douche canoe that had no recognition that he was and is terrible, period.

Hey Spanky, I am beating you in all 5 leagues we are in together, lol.

Rays too many visits to the mound are forced to remove Adams in the 9th but they managed to get out of a jam and wind the game, don't see that too often especially from the Rays

[L54]

Harrison Butker is an American hero

Can’t compare leagues dude, you know this.

Regardless of league, the reason is the same.

robbed Teo of a home run

 

Yeah, most of the time, it’s a timing thing. I’ll admit I didn’t see this one. But likely the guy backpedaled to the wall when most guys would’ve been in the same position, he makes the leap and gets it. I doubt 98% of the time, it’s a HR.

You’re part of the Outfit now? Been well known for a while now. Little known fact to newbies, Adam Greenwood used to one of the only people on my contrarian level. Drove people nuts. Then one decided to stick his tail between his legs and join the Man. You were kind of always a cuck though, so not the same I guess.

Spanky BORED team was on the clear steep decline. Even retooling, I probably still beat him.

well yea it's xba which of course has a limited # of variables, the outfielder could have been standing right at the fence vs playing shallow and having to sprint a long way to get to the wall. it was still a great catch
