2021 MLB Regular Season thread

Not much happening in Denver through 7.

 

A (Trevor) Storied catch preserves nothing.

 

FIFY

 

Ninth inning has started.

EDIT: And something happened.

 

He lost it but the stat of stats is that in his last 22 innings Marquez has allowed 4 hits.

 

Tomorrow, Ohtani pitches his 12th game of 2021. With two more homers the rest of the season, he will become the first piayer since at least 1901 to hit ≥ 30 dingers and pitch in ≥ 12 games in a season.
Ruth will never be duplicated in that he was hitting dingers when nobody else was. I think he hit something like one of every 15 HR in the AL by himself one year.
But Ohtani? What a smooth swing. You just hope he stays healthy.

 

You can only blame the lousy ballpark and roster made by Moneyball so many times. Or keep playing the small-market blues or change radio flagships faster than NASCAR pit crews change tires. Or after losing the Raiders and Warriors, Oakland fans are just throwing in the towel.

 

Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Trevor Bauer is being investigated by Pasadena (Calif.) police after a woman obtained a temporary protective order following an alleged assault earlier this year, a police spokesman said Tuesday night.

The attorney representing Bauer’s accuser said the woman filed for the order “as a result of a recent assault that took place at the hands of Mr. Bauer where [our client] suffered severe physical and emotional pain.”

“Our goal is to keep Mr. Bauer from contacting our client in any way possible,” the woman’s attorney, Marc Garelick, said in a statement emailed to The Washington Post after TMZ first reported the allegations Tuesday night. “We anticipate there will be criminal action against Mr. Bauer, and it is our hope law enforcement will take our client’s allegations and case seriously.”

Bauer’s attorney, Jon Fetterolf, released a statement denying the allegations as “baseless” and “defamatory” and claimed that any physicality between Bauer and his accuser was part of a “consensual sexual relationship.”

“Mr. Bauer had a brief and wholly consensual sexual relationship initiated by [his accuser] beginning in April 2021. We have messages that show [his accuser] repeatedly asking for ‘rough’ sexual encounters,” read the statement from Fetterolf, who also serves as Bauer’s agent.

“In the days following their second and final encounter, [his accuser] shared photos of herself and indicated that she had sought medical care for a concussion. Mr. Bauer responded with concern and confusion, and [his accuser] was neither angry nor accusatory.”

The statement also claimed Bauer and his accuser had not corresponded nor seen each other in more than a month, and that "her basis for filing a protection order is nonexistent, fraudulent, and deliberately omits key facts, information, and her own relevant communications.”

A league spokesman said Tuesday night that Major League Baseball had just become aware of the allegations against Bauer and was looking into the matter.
