Guy doesn't waste time and pretty efficient. So far, looking like the best Jays SP since Halladay? -
sucks, adley and grayson
-
Bo bounces once again, thank God for Vladdy's excellent pick skills
-
He's still worthless, you can safely drop him. No one will pick him up.
-
connor and Danger were the ones that brought Disney and DeSantis into the discussion
-
Sorry mate, but the taxes you pay and I know Florida has no income tax, only sales, are going to be used to pay Disney for damages, big time.

If you remember, I never said Trump colluded with Russia. I challenged you guys many times to show the posts, and you couldn't. All I did was report on the status of the investigation. By the way, if you look through this thread, you will find the same thing. Never once did I say he is guilty. On the other hand, you and several others were absolute that the girl was just trying to get paid.

So Cosby got his jollies using drugs, Bauer got his by choking his victims unconscious.
-
Ah, and here's the truth. Everything you posted was about you. TB is worth about as much as Felipe Vasquez.
-
Yes, he is, at this rate will enter mid season top 100 lists. Another 19 yr old, this one two levels up in AA, also went 5 innings last night, 9K, 1 hit. Eury Perez.
-
Ridiculous take. MLB fully expects a lawsuit from Bauer. They wouldn't do what they did unless there is evidence to support the action taken, yes evidence that makes other isolated incidents very minor in comparison. Choking someone unconscious is quite dangerous, you know.

There have been labour disruptions by staff in the past few years that cost WDW money. Again, they wanted to avoid further losses but what they didn't anticipate is Florida punishing them for expressing their free speech opinion on the proposed law. Which Florida will end up paying for, big time. Employee pressure was a factor in compelling Disney to speak out publicly on the Florida law. Leslie Gaines-Ross, chief reputation strategist at global marketing and communications firm Weber Shandwick, said that while Disney is facing a backlash now from the right, it would have been greater had Disney continued to stay mum on the Florida law
-
So you've seen all the evidence?
-
I'm entitled to my opinion, presumptous or not, and this doesn't change it. There was revolt within Disney staff, and if the WDW operation was disrupted by staff, that comes with a cost. The poltical pushback, questionable since Disney was simply exercising freedom of speech, was not anticipated. It's probably abuse of power to pass laws to punish corporations that express opinions politicians disagree with. End of the day, Florida ends up paying Disney damages.
-
You have no clue.
-
Well, yes of course, and none of us know the truth. But it's a perfectly plausible explanation for why MLB made the business decision they did, that doesn't involve a favour to LAD.
-
One thing that no one has mentioned is the public relations risk. According to the LA Times story, 3 woman gave interviews to the investigators and provided evidence, including at least 1 video apparently. Potentially, there are other women that gave interviews in confidence and will not go public. So MLB is in a tough spot, they give Bauer a light suspension, say 40 games and they run the risk of having a public relations nightmare with news stories about Bauer's bad behaviour, that MLB was aware of, popping up. From a business perspective, MLB probably didn't have any other choice but to do what they did.
-
lol, c'mon connor, please don't tell me you are better than corporate CEOs and their advisors the sole purpose of a business is to make money for its owners / shareholders. every decision is made through the lens of maximizing profit. this means understanding the customer base, and making every decision based on maintaining and expanding that customer base. a business will not make a decision that goes against that maintaining and expanding objective. end of story, nothing else matters.
-
A joke I know, but even after the suspension end, no MLB team is going to have anything to do with Bauer.
-
And I'm right on the money, always. Heck even the 5-10 million I predicted in March 2020 is right on the money.
-
No. Money is dominating the corporate world. Decisions are made based on NOTHING BUT bottom line considerations. If making decisions such as suspending Bauer for 300 games or whatever it is is the best business decision for MLB, so be it. Politics has nothing to do with it.
-
You are not understanding. I'm not referring to his not getting charged. I'm referring to the fact there was a lengthy police investigation followed by a lengthy deliberation by the DA. That's NOT good for Trevor Bauer. Whatever evidence they gathered will be retained. And there's no f'ing way he is going to stop the sexual abuse. It's who he is, he's headed for a fall somewhere not too far down the line.
-
Call it politics if you want, I call it a business decision.
-
I don't think the police doing a lengthy investigation of Bauer and in the end the DA decided not to lay charges is a benefit to TB, at all. Post investigation, he had better watch himself going forward. But if he is a habitual sexual abuser as it appears he is, he's likely heading for more trouble.
