I usually shy away from criticizing players for not hustling, but Springer could have been on 3rd with one out in the 8th inning, right? Maybe it would've changed things, maybe not.Anyway, it was a great game.
It was a great game, but I've given up expecting hustle from players. 3rd inning of same game, Brantley on first with two outs and Gurriel pops up a ball in no man's land between SS, LF and CF. Brantley jogs into second and realizes a step or two before he gets there it has a chance to drop and then busts it to third and takes a big turn and has to hold up. If he is running hard from contact with two outs he scores. No one even mentions it.
So, the Astros just fired Brandon Taubman and apologized to Stephanie Apstein.
Yeah their entire response to that episode ranged from flat out lies to ridiculous tone-deafness.
I think my favorite one was the reporter was wearing a bracelet as if anyone notices what bracelets people are wearing.He will have an interesting lawsuit against the team.
Lol. The persecuted rich white male falls again.
And she wasn't just wearing a bracelet. She had specifically written articles cricial of the Astro's handling of the Osuna situation. He knew what he was doing.He shouldn't sue because it will end badly for him.
He won't sue because if he had a contract the whole thing has already been discussed, and the Astros lawyers would have gone over everything already to make sure their asses are covered. I love it when the tort reform crowd yells "sue the bastards" when one of their own is affected.
The predicted response...by the way, I have no idea the person’s age, ethnicity, sexual preference, etc, but will take your word for it.I’m guessing a large parting gift his heading his way, or a lawsuit will come from him especially based on the GM’a comments yesterday about intent. Easier for them to part ways with him, pay him off or pay in the end.
Brandon Taubman. Definitely sounds like a latina woman to me! Not to mention his picture has been connected to almost every article about it. Way to add in age and sexual preference to make extra sure you show how "unbiased" and naive you are to it all, you're speaking just to generalities of the poor scapegoat here, naturally.Maybe the bracelet matters cause she wasn't just a woman. She was a woman who had reported on the Osauna domestic violence issues and was involved enough with the cause that she wears a bracelet in support. Aka he knew his target. If you made a crack about cancer to someone wearing a Livestrong bracelet because they had lost a parent to cancer and you knew it, that speaks to a more targeted action than "i made a broad comment, sorry to offend".Hope you send him an edible arrangement to show your support. Its more trendy than flowers these days!
Waiting for Chico to defend the racist, white supremicist umpire who has threatened to murder people who disagree with him.
I hear fruits and plants are hurt when they are eaten, so I will avoid that damage to Mother Nature.The GM’s comments yesterday are going to go in his favor, unless they found something else. I think if you read my initial response you will also notice i presented both sides...someone in particular decided the club was lying because that’s his default response. He had no idea then and not now, but again that is his default. I provided the other side of the story, something journalists used to do. Happy to oblige and provide the missing pieces from the “lying” club, etc.
Just so everybody's clear, what Cheeks is doing here has nothing to do with Brandon Taubman, Brandon Taubman's race or gender, or anything Brandon Taubman did.This is just about Cheeks' pathological inability to admit when he's wrong or back down one centimeter from whatever recent hot take he's offered.Imagine your ego being that fragile and you might just conjure up some empathy for the man.
BrandX doesn’t want me to respond to him, but puts a message out like this. And he says I have psychological issues. LOL.Wish I knew what you were talking about with your reference above. Sorry, I don’t. Maybe you can provide a link or back story. Thanks.
Anyone else think its a bit funny that the domestic abuser still has a job, but the guy that yelled about it doesn't?edit: Not saying they shouldn't have fired him.
