Bauer was a very polarizing player before all of this. Many people didn’t like him so something like this is an easy thing to latch onto and just assume he’s guilty. The dude is an ass to put it lightly. Easy to root against as ass.

MLB definitely didn’t like him for how often he publicly lambasted Manfred, so it isn’t surprising he didnt get any mercy initially (until now, obviously, when they reduced the suspension)

That being said, i think people still have an incorrect perception of what Ozuna did due to how it was initially reported.

Probably because his comment wasn’t directed to the actual question he responded to.

He asserted that OP was thinking it was a conspiracy that Bauer was suspended at all. No, he said he doesn’t understand why the public (and MLB) is harsher against Bauer than actual proven players who committed crimes.

“Beating his wife’s ass” is a gross over-exaggeration, bordering on lying or just complete lack of information on the actual case.

He still guilty of DV but there is no reason to make-up stuff to make it seem worse than it was. That just makes some ppl question the entire thing. The initial police report and charges were just incorrect which is why some charges were dropped and others reduced when the body can footage was released.

Not to mention, “welcomed back with open arms”? Yeah, he definitely wasn’t lol.

He wasn’t questioning why Bauer was suspended. He’s wondering why ppl are so much more against Bauer when the evidence is shaky whereas other players who have literally been caught on video and/or plead guilty the fans aren’t nearly as harsh against. Not to mention Bauer also served a longer suspension than those other players.
