Note: The DAs office is not bound by this so he still can be charged if they feel there is a crime. What MLB can do is dependant on language in the CBA but given that at seems to give free reign to the commissioner to decide I have to imagine this has no binding effect on that either, though will almost certainly be considered. This also doesn't prevent the woman from filing a civil suit if she wants. This was only about a restraining order. And while the judge here ruled in favor of Bauer that is a judge's decsion to make. If there are disputed facts, as there are here, it would go to a jury if the parties don't settle and in a case like this you really can't predict an outcome.

The most important thing from Bauer's point of view is not that the judge said he didn't pose a danger to the woman but that she ruled, based on her opinion of the evidence, that whatever Bauer did was within the bounds of what the woman had consented to. So as far as this judge is concerned there was no crime. And since the burden of proof is less here than in a criminal trial it would be pretty surprising, to me at least, if chargers are ultimately filed.

And that's because it largely appears he did. Not only did she explicitly say she wanted to be choked out and given "all the pain", she also came back multiple times and said she wanted "even more". If that's not consent that you're within her boundaries, I'm not sure what is to be honest. Reading through the texts and the evidence, it really just seems like both parties here are a little "off their rocker" as one would say, but I don't see how you can conclude that Bauer did anything illegal after what we've seen here.

Rip. Wonder when Bauer makes his next start?

He won't. Even if he's not charged, he's become so toxic that I doubt the Dodgers even keep him on the roster and at this point, until the dust settles I can't imagine an MLB team signing him until next year. If he's not charged criminally, he'll be on a team next year maybe.

And my goodness, his Twitter is going to be a goddamn wrath from hell if he's not criminally charged.

While true and damning, a look at those players also shows something though I'm not sure what exactly. Trout, deGrom, Strasburg, Verlander, Bauer, Kershaw, Sale all have missed significant time for one reason or another and Price might as well have.

Thanks for the summary.

Ready to watch the Padres miss the playoffs. The amount of crap their fans talk you would think they would have the history of the Yankees. Bum *** franchise.

 

Max Scherzer will get a lot of the headlines for that trade to the Dodgers and rightfully so, but Trea Turner changed the Dodgers season. What he has done at lead off has been a game changer. Him and Muncy has been a killer 1-2 just get Betts back and have a Turner, Muncy, Betts. 
 

Dodgers are clicking at the right time

Sox effing it up. Worst loss all season. You’ll be delighted to hear.

Yeah.....as a NYY fan I was hoping for some help from them this weekend. As it played out they (did well but....) were lucky not to get swept. Some more last minute heroics from Anderson saved the day again.

Mets rotation fell apart, can't keep its regular healthy, not surprising they collapsed offensively.

Really bad timing too going through basically a two stretch of nothing but the Giants and dodgers
