In extremely poor taste, I will say that we can now put to rest that Olivera can hit on something.

Guy hits a woman harder than he hits a baseball. Future of the franchise right there.

With the way baseball is looking at domestic violence right now, things wont go well for Hector. If only this would allow us to void his contract.

I have poor taste too then bc I thought the same thing haha

Traded Wood and Peraza for nothing. Thanks!

I know I am being extremely prejudiced here, but I think these Cuban players are a huge risk and teams need to be leery of making huge (or should I say "yuge") investments in them. They've existed in a somewhat protected environment and then they uproot and have to get used to a vastly different culture where they aren't automatically on a national pedestal.

This is easily one of the worst trades the Braves have ever made

You are very young. It may turn out bad, but I don't think it's even in the top ten.

[striker42]

We just gotta hope that Bird and the draft pick are worth it (I doubt Paco Rodriguez ever pitches much for us).

lol no kidding. We've had some whoppers before but this by far isn't the worse.

Time to cut him loose

[Tapate50]

Well....bye.

[gilesfan]

I think he will be found innocent. With how long his swing is, I can't imagine a way that the woman couldn't move fast enough to avoid it.

Also surprised at all the choices in DC and they choose this hotel?

Let's wait for the facts to come out first.

[The Chosen One]

Definitely the legacy of the 3 John's.

[smootness]

Welp, bye, Hector.

[UNCBlue012]

This is just crazy. Dude is an idiot on so many levels.

Agreed that we should wait for all the facts. But without a doubt to save face as an organization, they should immediately suspend him, even if it's with pay, until the investigation is complete. MLB does have that new domestic violence policy in place, I wonder if that will apply here. Chapman got 30 games?

If it turns out Hector beat this chick up, I hope MLB throws the book at him. Suspend him for a season without pay. That'll send a message.
