- “I don’t recommend steroids for everyone, and I don’t recommend growth hormones for everyone, but for certain individuals, I truly believe, because I’ve experimented with it for so many years, that it can make an average athlete a super athlete. It can make a super athlete-incredible. Just legendary.” – Jose Canseco.
That’s a good point, Question Mark. I also think it’s possible that Trevor Bauer could go from Cy Young Award winner to being out of baseball in less than a year.
The woman Bauer allegedly attacked succeeded in getting a restraining order against him, so I’d be surprised if he gets let off the hook. I believe he will most likely face charges.
Bauer’s contract for sure is loaded with morality clauses. The D’s will be able to get out of it without owing him to much.
I’ll go out on the proverbial limb and say that Trevor Bauer might never throw another pitch for the Dodgers. I believe his days in L.A. are done.
It appears that Bauer is a serial abuser, if his reported comments and those of others are true. The Dodgers would take an enormous public relations hit if they keep him on their roster. I don’t think he’d be worth it.
Laughing stock, yeah maybe now. For a while he was the hottest player in baseball. Steroids is a small price to pay. There’s so many guys that would do it if it meant the difference between a minor league salary and major league salary. Grow up Peter Pan.
At least Jose Canseco told the truth about Steroids when Players, the MLB, and fans were in mass denial, and as a result he was destroyed by all and the press.
Mass denial as players injected Steroids in the locker room and kept it in their lockers. Steroid dealers were common visitors to locker rooms and the press refused to report it.
It is not unlike the sticky stuff now, mass denial
And women abusing pitchers like Trevor Bauer* who beat up women, and tell us they wanted it rough. I am sure the mega billionaires will paper it over with cash and the press will ignore the story as it fades away. All for another win. I think the applicable term is “Bleed Dodger Blue” How ironic. But Dodger Fan will cover it up and ignore it.
*allegedly
Note Albert Pujois was signed as a club house leader. Funny I have not seen or heard anything from him on domestic violence. Orel Hershiser’s Twitter acct has more about his dogs Bella and Boots, and the food he eats at the game than Bauer’s domestic violence. Yep this is real leadership in the Annals of Courage
And it is not sticky stuff, that will create spin on that story.
Jose Canseco was the first player to admit to what everyone knew was going on re steroid use.
Even with players shooting up steroids in the locker room and keeping it in their lockers, It was mass denial in a code of silence.
The same goes for sticky stuff.
The same goes for LAD pitcher Bauer who beats up women* and says that they like it rough*.
Mass denial, and big Dodger money will pay off all to get him out from under and get another win. As the fans will excuse him
I love the game but not a lot of the players who miserable people and the fans that as such homers that they cannot see the truth. And the rich owners that will cover up anything. I am sure my post will be deleted as it is not True Dodger Blue.
*allegedly
You are so correct Jose. And you proved it can make you a super/incredible idiot and laughing stock.
