Awwww, too bad. Tough guy. You can run the drum banger role for awhile until your soft parts heal.

Yup
Pisses me off that the guys willing to take punches will take the brunt of everyone's anger for awhile.
Stay in the dugout Justin, you wuss.

Status: offline 		Once again, I'm thankful for the decent people.
Here's one willing to admit he got caught up in doing wrong.

At this point, it’s clear that every member of the 2017 Houston Astros will have their legacies tainted by the cheating scandal. Evan Gattis was once known for his unconventional and adversity-riddled road to the big leagues, and now, he’s ending his career with an apology.

Gattis was a part of that 2017 Astros World Series team that took advantage of technology and trash cans to steal signs from opposing teams. He last played in 2018, and this week, he announced that he was done playing baseball for good.
But while looking back on his career, he didn’t shy away from addressing the cheating scandal.
Speaking to The Athletic on the 755 Is Real podcast, Gattis reflected on the cheating scandal and offered his apology. He admitted that the Astros did what they were accused of and felt as if they cheated the game … and spirit of competition.
Gattis said:
“I don’t know how to feel yet. We didn’t look at our moral compass and say, ‘Yeah, this is right.’ It was almost like paranoia warfare or something. What we did was wrong. Don’t get it twisted. It was wrong for the nature of competition — not even just baseball. Yeah, that was wrong. I will say that. … We cheated baseball. We cheated fans. Fans felt duped. I feel bad for fans because I really wish everyone was there. I wish everyone could experience what it’s like to break spring training and break for the big-league club and be in a big-league clubhouse, part of a big-league team. I wish everyone knew what that was like.
“But I’m not asking for sympathy or anything like that. Part of the punishment is being hated by everybody forever. I don’t know what should have been done but something should have (expletive) been done. I do agree with that big time. And I do think it’s good for baseball that they clean it up. I’ve thought about it a (expletive) (expletive)-ton, and I still don’t know how I feel … I understand that it’s not (expletive) good enough to say sorry. I get it.”
He continued:
“We did it, that’s a fact. And that’s on the wall. Part of me is really glad that it’s out there – it’s public knowledge and it’s accurate.”
Gattis ended his six-year MLB career after playing for both the Braves and Astros.
s

This is why I say ….
You can eat shit and die, Verlander and Altuve. And Bregman. ESPECIALLY you, Bregman …..
Nothing worse than getting caught, and then STILL acting above it all.

HOF both offensively and defensively.
Never forget his comment from a year or 2 when he was asked what he missed most about baseball at this stage of his life. He said Harmon Killebrew.

Nats broadcaster MASN reaired Game 7 of the 2019 World Series against the Astros on Tuesday night and the players joined a Zoom conference call with announcer Dan Kolko to chat as the game was going on, which was streamed on Facebook live for fans to watch.
It seemed like a good time.
Gerardo Parra, calling in from Japan, complimented Stephen Strasburg on his glasses (“You look so many sexies”). Max Scherzer informed the group that he’d already had three Yuenglings by the time he logged in. Matt Adams had the World Series trophy right next to him on his couch.
But the star, by far, was Brian Dozier.
Dozier, who left Washington this weekend to sign with the Padres, had all his teammates cracking up, especially during Juan Soto’s eighth-inning at bat. It was a clutch spot, so Dozier offered to help Soto out by picking up the trash can in his living room and banging on it with a wooden spoon.
