Damon and his wife were pulled over at around 1:23 a.m. on Feb. 19 in Windermere, Fla. after cops say he was swerving on the road and driving erratically.Once a cop stopped Damon ... body cam footage captured the 47-year-old ex-Yankee and Red Sox outfielder admitting to drinking before getting behind the wheel.Then, an intense standoff between the officer, the ex-MLB star and the baseball player's wife ensued.In the video, you can see the officer ordered Damon and his wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, to stay in the car, but neither complied ... and a pushing and shoving squabble broke out.At one point, the officer grabbed Mangan-Damon's wrist ... before Johnny got involved to separate the two.The bumping and pushing got so heated, the officer's body camera was actually knocked to the ground.Fortunately for all parties, backup arrived, and officers were able to settle down the scene.Damon and his wife repeatedly talked about their support for cops, mentioning over and over, "Blue lives matter."And, at one point, Damon brought up his affinity for Trump to a cop, saying "Hey, bro, I'm a good f***ing guy. I know people are trying to target me because I'm a Trump supporter."Damon was then asked to complete some field sobriety tests ... but you can see on the video, it doesn’t look like he exactly passed any of them with flying colors.Damon was ultimately arrested and booked on multiple charges, including driving under the influence and resisting arrest without violence.A police report later showed cops said Damon's blood-alcohol level was .30, nearly FOUR TIMES the legal limit.

Bauer’s career is in jeopardy, and his stay with the Dodgers could be over, the sexual-assault allegations having turned a pitcher in his prime into a pariah in his own clubhouse, where no teammate has spoken publicly about him or come to his defense. Two people with knowledge of Dodgers clubhouse dynamics, who are unauthorized to speak publicly about the situation, said that a majority of players do not want Bauer back under any circumstances.

poor guy will just hate to retire early in the most comfortable place that anyone could possibly imagine for the rest of his life, always burdened with the knowledge that he could have spent a few more years of his mid-30s in front of tens of thousands of people cheering for him because he threw the ball good, but he didn't get that chance

can't imagine him ever pitching in MLB again (i hope)

Wow, that is a lot longer than I thought he would get. Dodgers are off the hook on paying him further. I'm sure he will appeal.

what is the difference between Bauer and what Ozuna did which only got him 20 games? I mean fuck this guy and I hope he never pitches again but I'm not used to y'know, actual punishments like this
― frogbs, Friday, 29 April 2022 20:11 (two years ago) link
Osuna's may have been worse? He assaulted his gf but she declined to press charges. Bauer fought his criminal charges in court and won.
Their punishments from MLB are in no way consistent but whatever, Bauer's career is over. I'm sure he saved a nice retirement nest egg from "earning" his $40M salary last year.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Friday, 29 April 2022 20:22 (two years ago) link
Think the difference may be that Ozuna cooperated? Even so that is a massive discrepancy
― ✖, Friday, 29 April 2022 20:29 (two years ago) link
i'm not as familiar with what happened with Ozuna – but to me the big difference might simply be that Bauer is a lot more well known
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 29 April 2022 21:08 (two years ago) link
Oh wait I was talking about Roberto Osuna, you guys meant Marcell Ozuna. The point is the same though.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Friday, 29 April 2022 21:15 (two years ago) link
reasons i suspect:
- bauer is famous, and famously a loud asshole, and one of the best-payed players in the sport- the bauer stuff is sexual- ozuna's wife has also been arrested for domestic violence- bauer's victim(s) are (presumably) white american women; ozuna's wife is not
for better or worse, bauer playing is just much more likely to raise a public outcry

As MLB suspends Trevor Bauer, a new accuser speaks outThe first time Trevor Bauer choked her unconscious without her consent — in 2013, a woman in Columbus, Ohio, said — all she remembered afterward was waking up on his bathroom floor.Months later, she said, she was having sex with Bauer, then a minor league pitcher for Cleveland’s Major League Baseball franchise, when she again passed out with his hands around her neck. She said she awoke to a frantic Bauer explaining that she had been convulsing on their hotel room bed.As their years-long sexual relationship continued, the woman said, they agreed he would stop choking her before she passed out. But he frequently ignored her warnings, she said. He also slapped her without her consent and anally penetrated her while she was unconscious, she said.In interviews with The Washington Post, the Columbus woman said she decided to share her story after Bauer denied similar allegations made by two other women and accused them of lying for potential financial gain. The Columbus woman asked not to be named, and The Post typically does not name alleged victims of domestic violence unless they ask to be identified.The Columbus woman shared photos and screenshots of text messages documenting that she had a relationship with Bauer. One screenshot shows a text message bearing Bauer’s name in which he allegedly wrote, “I want to f--- you while you’re completely unconscious.”MLB suspended Bauer for two years on Friday, the longest suspension in the history of the league’s domestic abuse and sexual assault policy. Bauer immediately proclaimed his innocence and vowed to appeal. MLB cited an “extensive investigation” but did not disclose its findings because of the policy’s terms of confidentiality, and said “it will not issue any further statements.”The Columbus woman and her lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said she shared her allegations with MLB. She said she is willing to testify in the arbitration hearing that would result from Bauer appealing. MLB declined to comment for this story.Bauer declined through his attorney and agent, Jon Fetterolf, to be interviewed. A statement issued by Bauer’s representatives did not deny that the Columbus woman had a relationship with Bauer but said the pitcher “unequivocally denies” her “false and defamatory” allegations.

mclaughlin had apparently been sober for many years, since his first and second dwi's (his non-persistent era). i noticed during a game this fall that some guest in the booth, i forget who, made a reference to plans to drink with mclaughlin after the game and it kind of went awkward and quiet in the booth for a second! i didn't think much of it at the time and figured it was a joke that fell flat. maybe it was, who knows.
i'm glad no one was hurt from his latest incident. i know i shouldn't connect it to my desire for him to move on from broadcasting, but i am kind of hoping this is the thing that finally makes it happen

Mets outfielder Khalil Lee was named in a federal lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend this week, which alleges that Lee assaulted her physically and verbally last May, Anne Hayes of Syracuse.com reports. The alleged victim went to law enforcement the day after the purported incident, and Hayes writes that an arrest warrant charging Lee for criminal obstruction of breath was signed by a judge back in August. Hayes’ report has a timeline and more specific details on the allegations against Lee, which include choking and kicking the plaintiff during an argument.
