Just absolutely awful. Plenty of warning signs in his past of misogyny and bullying too. In the same week that a rapist was set free and a 39 year old woman wasn't granted agency, nothing about the legal system in this country surprises me. Hm. Quote When Bauer meets a potential romantic partner, he outlines for her the parameters of any possible relationship on their very first date. “I have three rules,” he says. “One: no feelings. As soon as I sense you’re developing feelings, I’m going to cut it off, because I’m not interested in a relationship and I’m emotionally unavailable. Two: no social media posts about me while we’re together, because private life stays private. Three: I sleep with other people. I’m going to continue to sleep with other people. If you’re not O.K. with that, we won’t sleep together, and that’s perfectly fine. We can just be perfectly polite platonic friends.” https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/02/19/trevor-bauer-cleveland-indians-training-tools-twitter-controversy-cy-young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I dont have an ethical problem with someone being clear from the get-go that it's only about the sex. I've said similar things about no-strings, over when there's feelings repeat hookups, albeit in a much less shitty way and it's usually my partners that walk when I want something more than physicality. I am also not going to close-fist punch a woman, nor anally rape them while they are unconscious. Somehow I doubt his up front conversations about rough sex including those actions. Some fleeting days I yearn for medieval punishment, and abusers like this got their junk chopped. What an abominable creature. Guys like this keep kink as something to be ashamed of. Dude isn't kinky or into rough sex, he's just a violent scumbag who needs to have his career ended, and wear a T Shirt explaining his proclivities on any date he ever goes on again.

You can take a t-shirt off. Aldo Raine couldn't abide that. Nor could Lisbeth Salander. I'd follow the latter's course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 A very fair point. A nice forehead tat would suffice, kinda like Max's back in Fury Road, only with "raped unconscious woman" instead of "Universal Donor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every multi-year deal has language that allows the team to terminate the agreement without pay under certain circumstances. But the specifics of each deal will be different depending on what the club and agent negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Another brilliant effort by the Yankees today. I’m seriously hoping for a Mets sweep to force some sort of changes to happen. This team is shockingly boring and pretty much unwatchable at this point. I’d rather watch dumb soccer than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Ohtani is full on beast mode, going yard at a rate of once every 9 AtBats. Not too shabby for a pitcher with Nolan Ryan velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireWolfSpirit Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yeah I just worry about his being able to keep pitching long term. Although he did do the whole Tommy John rehab thing already, so maybe he can, we'll just have to enjoy watching while we can. It's not out of the question he hits 50 homers, 20 SB's and maybe strikes out 200 for a season like none ever witnessed previously. Pretty neat stuff. Another thing, shouldn't his WAR be the combined one for pitching and hitting, I notice he's always listed with separate WAR numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The Phillies are taking a “herd immunity” approach to Covid, because apparently several “clubhouse leaders” are vociferously anti-vax. This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard; everyone knows that the way you beat Covid is to have your fans throw batteries at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
