we winning cures all
didnt have a problem signing in the first place

 

[niceshoes247]

I’ve had girls tell me to do worse

 

[Rockabilly Zombie]

Welp. Rotation just got stronger

 

[bapar11]

let him live.
I'll welcome him back.

There’s layers to this one. Trevor Bauer is an example of why character matters when pursing guys. Different sport, but the Raiders 2020 first round draft picks are another example.

Bauer had a history of character issues and poor judgment going way back to 2016 when he decided to play with drones and **** his finger up on his pitching hand right before a big start in the ALCS.

It’s one thing to sign someone like him on a no risk, high reward type deal where there’s no real reprecussions if he screws up. But to give someone with his history $40 million a year. No matter how talented he is. Too many red flags.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the players in the clubhouse don’t rock with him. Especially with it being a veteran team with alot of those guys playing together for years. Then the new guy comes in making more than everyone else and ****s up barely 3 months into the season. If he comes back, they’re going to resolve all that within the clubhouse given all the inconveniences his foolishness caused the organization.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Are we even gonna have a season? I'll check back in May

 

[DsLee]

For the record, I don’t want Bauer’s career to end over this, I just don’t want him as a Dodger. cedric ceballos had some great points, man came in with some red flags and has more now. Dodgers have been in that upper echelon of perennial contenders and don’t need that distraction. Clubhouse has also been reported as not wanting to rock with him so that’s that.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Unfortunately we need him. Can't go into the season with Gonsolin and Heaney as our #3 and #4
Assuming Kersh is headed to Texas

 

[g-time]

Kersh was linked to Texas prior to lockout. Might need Bauer unfortunately.

 

[mr jordan04]

F it bring him back. Rotation will def need him.

You were the guy talking the most **** about him

 

[lovehateself]

 

[tupac003]

He makes some really good points...

But same time you don't feel anything for him.

Just let him play and hopefully he doesn't pick up the next option.

 

[ShoeGameBoss]

You were the guy talking the most **** about him

I know that was before we lost Scherzer and possibly Washedshaw

 

[mr jordan04]

That’s a slippery slope. It’s still only “allegations” at the moment. It’s not like Pablo Ozuna where the cops walked in on him choking his wife.

I get it, you have to take precaution (and MLB wants to super careful about perception/negative media coverage). But if they’re quick to suspend everybody based on “allegations” without any priors or previous history, what stops Accuser A to accuse star pitcher/MVP the week of World Series and now he has to sit out the World Series over “accusations”

Not saying he’s innocent, but you’ve got to let the legal side play out, especially if there’s no prior history of said act(s)

I said this back in July when he initially got suspended.

And 7 months later, it was all “accusations”

I am not defending anything he did or alleged he did. I’m just bringing up the point of how allegations can ruin your career over somebody wanting some clout/money. Clearly it ****ed up dodger plans so they had to go out and trade for Turner/scherzer. That wouldn’t of happened if Bauer and these allegations didn’t happen.

He’s still on the hook for 2 more years. Luckily it’s only 2, and not 8-10. He deserves to play but let’s see what cloud of bad press follows him and the team, and the media trying to ask his teammates questions that could turn into teammates vs Bauer.

Keep the same energy lil homie

 

[DsLee]

I respect everyone's opinion and I definitely won't stop watching/rooting for the team if Bauer actually plays haha. Personally it would just be disappointing. Anyways, MLB needs to get it together because if we lose games then whatever momentum has been gained in the past 2-3 years will be lost. They cannot botch this, especially with so many amazing young players and a once in century talent that transcends the damn sport...

 

[lawdog1]

Young Joc might not be on the team anymore, but he's definitely a Dodger for life.

 

[jpzx]

Lakers haven’t won for a year and a half!

 

[Benny Hinn]

No thanks on 2 year late parade. Lebby just wants to be the center of attention again

 

[cedric ceballos]

They should’ve did it at some point in 2021. Way too much roster turnover on the Dodgers and especially the Lakers from those 2020 squads to do a parade at this point.

 

[Benny Hinn]

 

[tupac003]

I hope so...but the best fit for him would actually be south of here.....

 

[DsLee]

No bro, that Dodger Blue looks good on Freddie

 

[g-time]

I believe he also said the Yankees the other day too. They need clicks and talking points until these labor negotiations are done.

 

[tupac003]

I need baseball so I can stop watching the Lakers.
