Ms. Knight claimed that a New York Daily News writer “said she endured death threats and Holocaust jokes in her mentions for months after Bauer told his followers to go after her.” However, Mr. Bauer never told his followers to “go after” the Daily News writer. Ms. Knight did not include the supposed tweet from Mr. Bauer telling his followers to go after the writer, because no such tweet exists.

 

Instead, Mr. Bauer had tweeted—after the writer accused Mr. Bauer of not being concerned for the health and safety of his teammates—“[w]hen you’re definitely not terrible at your job or desperate for someone to notice you. Here, let me send some more followers your way. Have a wonderful day!!” Nothing about that tweet directed followers to “go after” the New York Daily News writer as Ms. Knight claimed. Ms. Knight did not provide any examples of Mr. Bauer’s followers sending negative tweets to the writer.

 

Uhhhhhhhh...

 

These horsefeathering "I'm a very logical debate person" chuds always, ALWAYS fall back on the "I'M JUST JOKING!!!" horsefeathers like the cowards they are.

But we must take them seriously in the moment because they are speaking truths! I still side-eye every fan I've encountered over the previous several years who wanted the Cubs to go after Bauer specifically because he "tells it like it is!"

I liked Bauer when he was just that guy who fought with the Diamondbacks coaching staff because he wanted to keep doing long toss and doing the whole driveline baseball thing. He had a thing. It was data driven, and it had worked for him in the past. So I got why he wanted to give it another shot before tweaking everything. Then he got traded to Cleveland.

 

Haven't liked him much since then.

their argument doesnt even seem to be that it was a joke, just that "uhh he literally said let me send you some followers. he was trying to be nice!" what a load of horsefeathering horse horsefeathers. i've been sued multiple times for defamation and it's ALWAYS some sociopath idiot like this who thinks he's the protagonist of reality and anyone holding him responsible for his actions is the movie villain. it's so horsefeathering transparent.

and yet Cards Talk has a majority of posters in support of Bauer and advocating that the Cardinals pick him up. Shocking, I know.

Look around at some other Cub sites

I'm well aware there are plenty of moron Cub fans as well. I just find Cards Talk to be particularly objectionable.

hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

 

Now that they’ve officially suspended him, he can appeal. They were keeping him in limbo to put off that process

it doesnt matter. his career is over. He hasnt thrown a real pitch in how long? His name is toxic. by the time he actually would see the field again, it'll be too late

I'm trying to put myself inside the head of the (expected) idiots already rushing to his defense. It's so bleak.

 

"BUT HE WAS FOUND INNOCENT!!!!:!!111:

I assume he'll end up playing overseas somewhere? Don't want to make any guesses at the risk of sounding ignorant, but assume there's somewhere that will pay him a few million to pitch.

That would violate his contract, and I think the KBO and NPB have an agreement that suspended players aren't allowed. He would have to retire from MLB.

seems like it's very easy for them, for various depraved reasons, to imagine doing (in their minds) rough sex that gets them hit with a wrongful assault accusation and they empathize with him on that level i guess?

 

and also he's increasingly a culture war reactionary, so it could even just be that he's an important ally to be supported, regardless

 

so essentially this is just a repeat of the Portnoy stuff except the crimes for Bauer are likely a little worse

exactly this plus, and i meet these guys on the regular because Oklahoma, "we can't know the facts in this case, and society is increasingly siding with the accusers, creating a slippery slope where before long it won't be safe to be a straight white male."

It's genuinely terrifying how many of these guys see being a horsefeathering horrible human being = being a straight white male. Like, it's not even that most of them think a guy like Bauer didn't do something along the lines of what he's accused of; it's that they think it's unfair that he face any kind of criticism for it at all.

yeah they see a violent straight white sex pest and immediately personalize his actions. but then 15 seconds later will be like "its not safe to be a white male!" Well no horsefeathers buddy!

Imagine reading a news story about a murderer and then thinking, "cripes, it's like a guy can't even be a murderer these days!!!" Extreme example, but like you said, who the horsefeathers reads about what Bauer was accused of and what he admitted to and then worries that they might be next? Apparently waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more horsefeathering people than I want to even think about.
