So MLB thinks more people will watch Sunday Night Baseball if they let ARod talk about himself for the whole game?

You probably mean the Mets. They pay him $500,000 until 2029

You got to love it when announcers get a little too excited. :D

"how this guy not fired"

"how this guy speak english"

And I read some of the replies to JJ Reddick's defense of the T-Wolves and my goodness - do these people also speak like that in real life?

Check the ball. Pitchers shouldn't be able to use whiffle balls.

Miguel Cabrera gathered hit #3000 today, as well.

 

Found this little nugget to be absolutely incredible. One of the best hitters we'll ever see

Congrats to him. Great achievement.

But I will never forget the metrodome, game 163 in 2009 yelling “alcoholic” when he came to bat.  ?

well, clearly he overcame and has continued to have an illustrious career.  Again, congrats to him.   Probably had access to resources many don’t.

For reference, some other Angel Hernandez calls:

Angel Hernandez was the lowest rated umpire on the day, missing 19 calls for a correct percentage of 85.3%. He rang up 6 batters on pitches that were outside the zone and called a strike to Jean Segura that missed inside by a season high 6.47 inches.

Might want to google Jeff Nelson, about a week ago. Missed 27 calls in a single game. Yeah.

Most double digit strikeout games in MLB history:
215 Nolan Ryan
212 Randy Johnson
110 Roger Clemens
108 Pedro Martinez
106 Max Scherzer

That separation is SICK.

And yet, nothing ever happens. Bad calls, game after game, year after year and still they remain umpiring at the highest level possible. I saw some comments along the line of "Well, some of those pitches didn't miss by TOO much" and "You gotta be ready for anything with two strikes".  What the hell does that even mean?

Part of it is, the lower level umpiring. No one wants to work their way up due to violent spectators/parents/etc, and I don't blame 'em. You don't just apply to be a big league ump, although I am hoping that will change. Make it like a trade school or something, go through some sort of course, watch a TON of film, and make the calls.

So, a guy who has no trial charges against him, is suspended. WTF. I dunno if he did it, but the assuming of the league...this is insane. Guilty by PR. I hate this trend.

He was a POS well before the accusations and the league doesn't have to allow him to stick around.

Would your liquor store be required to employ you if you were accused of violent rapes?

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? That's my question.

Now, there is a lot of gray in that question when it comes to employment, but...IMO, he's already guilty by publicity/media. And he might not be really guilty. I dunno. You dunno. None of us know.

Note: not defending him personally. I just don't know all the facts, and if the authorities are not charging him...

The presumption of innocence applies to criminal court. He isn't in prison. He just isn't allowed to play major league baseball.

He's denied his livelihood based off an accusation. That's a slippery slope.

Legal questions aside, Trevor Bauer is a creepy weirdo. I doubt many players want him in their clubhouse for 162 games

I won't say as much as I could about Bauer on a public forum, but I haven't heard of one single person enjoying the time they've spent around him.

 

As far as his suspension, if you've followed the case and read the accusations (from at least two women) its pretty clear to see why it would be considered a violation of the MLB's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Child Abuse Policy.

It's still an accusation. What if the accusations are completely false? I disagree with the way these things tend to go. Now, I admit, where there is smoke, there is most likely fire, but there have been a few cases in recent years that were completely fabricated, and lives thrown into disarray. The Rolling Stone Frat case, the Duke Lacrosse case, the Brian Banks case (he even spent five years in jail before his accuser admitted it was all made up).

If in a civil lawsuit he's found guilty? Suspend him, blackball him, fine. 😉

But wait until a verdict of sorts.
