Baseball has been pretty good. Stadiums are full in some places and some incredible talents.

Shohei Ohtani just hit a 440 ft HR at 114 mph, next AB had a bunt single and stole 2nd….he has a 2.85 ERA and 13 K per 9 innings 

The pitching thing will get too much attrntion and be irritating I worry.

Ohtani said he will be in the HR Derby in Colorado

You forgot Bobby Bradley. 

But, I understand. Tito forgot about him for 3+ years...

Max Scherzer has been checked 3x and he’s going to kill someone

This is actually absurd. Max Scherzer just got checked AGAIN in the middle of the inning and is about to pull his pants down to get these people to leave him alone. pic.twitter.com/v6OXMpPOBn

Ohtani…..insane. And a top 15 pitcher

Schwarber has 15 HR in last 17 games…9 in his last 7

I’ll bet Joe Buck’s mouth is watering.

Did you know he's from Middletown, OH?

Also, I had no idea he played for the Nats.

Schwarber now 16 HR in 18 games

Ohtani 2 HR so far tonight

Trevor Bauer. Woof.

What happened?

What happened?

He will have his say, and apparently has texts to back up his claim of only doing what the women wanted. But:

• Choked to point of unconscious 
• Acute head injury
• Unwanted anal sex
• Bruised and bloodied face
• Restraining order filed against him 

There are pictures within the restraining order, but behind a paywall on The Athletic.

Woof, indeed. 

Woman sounds like someone a $200,000,000 should chill with….I just assumed he and his agent were keeping each other satisfied

Apparently he doesn’t have that agent anymore and his new agent is also part of this.

Dude ain’t worrying about sticky stuff anymore

It’s Bobby Bonilla day…..today he gets $1.19 million by the Mets 

He hasn’t played for the Mets since 1999

He was just placed on administrative leave while they investigate.

Agree he shouldn’t be starting until much more investigation and knowledge of everything….if ever again

I’m thinking of Tito’s first words to Bauer after he threw the ball over the fence:

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”

Saw an update from the Sheriff(?) that said he had thought they were close to finishing their investigation, but then it unexpectedly expanded and it's going to be a while.

Anyone's guess what that could mean.  Could just be the police making an excuse being slow and incompetent, or being very diligent because of his profile.  Or perhaps other women have come forward.  Maybe he was targeted, although that would seem hard to believe.

Forget the exact wording.  Definitely sounded like they thought it was going to be a he-she said, but now have significant evidence.

He admits to "repeatedly punching her in the buttocks while she was unconscious".

ALLLLRIGHTY THEN!!!

He admits to "repeatedly punching her in the buttocks while she was unconscious".

I have a feeling this will be a very bizarre case with many twists and turns.

That's what the USA Today article I read said, but I doubt they had a transcript.  Apparently, this woman and police did a sting call, which is where he allegedly said that.

"Punching" the buttocks makes no sense in any context.  But the interesting thing is if he really did say "unconscious", then despite all other arguments you might make to defend yourself, whatever kinks or weird stuff you're doing, when someone is unconscious you call an ambulance.

So forget all the other questions.  He's not a doctor, and she's unconscious after he choked her.  And instead of "punching" 9-1-1.....Before we go anywhere else, isn't that reckless endangerment?  Gross negligence?
