Around The Majors 2019

If I'm reading the allegations correctly he should be facing multiple first degree felony charges.

Yeah, at the VERY LEAST he should get a real stern talking to.

Yeah I don’t think a ban is going to matter.

[Carp]

Lifetime ban if solicitation of a minor is true. Glad we didn't trade for this POS.

I'm all for that, but lifetime ban or not, he won't be pitching in the MLB ever again unless he gets fully exonerated. And that seems incredibly unlikely given the evidence reportedly against him.

[BeanieAntics]

Imagine living in a world where banging your sister was the 2nd most weird and awful thing you've ever done.

[Enscheff]

13...holy hell...

I just don't understand people sometimes. Most crimes are terrible, but at least I can usually understand the motives. Not in cases like this though.

Aren’t you from Mississippi. Why not just tell us so we don’t have to imagine

[CyYoung31]

Wow. I would never let him date my daughter.

[BeanieAntics]

Wow. I would never let him date my daughter.

Yeah, this was just unacceptable behavior.

Intolerable, even.

Wikipedia: "Felipe Javier Vázquez, nicknamed Nightmare, is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball."


Nickname seems appropriate.


Hate to trash people without being convicted, but certainly appears like calling him a POS is being generous.

[Super]

at least he now qualifies as a candidate for a GOP senatorial nomination.

[thewupk]

Yeah, this was just unacceptable behavior.

Intolerable, even.

absolutely reprehensible behavior

[CyYoung31]

Yeah, this was just unacceptable behavior.

Intolerable, even.

Yeah, I’m trying to get my kids to look up to athletes who are real role models. Players like Felipe Rivero are class acts that I can trust my kids around. He would never do anything like this.

[CyYoung31]

If you’re a pedophile, and you’re reading this, stop. Just stop.

[nsacpi]

maybe he can move to alabama and run for the senate

[Braves1976]

Sounds like in that fight he lost he attacked his teammate too, check out the details and Crick is right in what he says at the end: "Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez initiated the fight he and teammate Kyle Crick engaged in Monday, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The altercation began when Crick declined to turn off music that was playing at his locker when Vazquez asked him to, according to Wilborn. Vazquez then threw the initial punch at Crick after challenging Crick to hit him first. Both players wound up suffering injuries – Crick had to undergo season-ending finger surgery, while Vazquez needed stitches on his nose – and incurring team-imposed fines. The Pirates docked Vazquez $10K and Crick $2,500, but Crick told Wilborn he’s filing a grievance because he was acting in self-defense. “If we were on the street, this would’ve been assault,” Crick said. “I got swung at twice before I swung back.”"

Good thing we didn't trade for him...

If you’re a pedophile, and you’re reading this, stop. Just stop.

They are broken humans that can’t stop. Just lock them up. Forever

[DirkPiggler]

If you’re a pedophile, and you’re reading this, stop. Just stop.

Stop, and then go drink a bottle full of Drano. Or swallow some buckshot at a high rate of speed.

I'm generally against both the death penalty and torture, but would gladly make an exception for both for convicted pedophiles.

[UNCBlue012]

His locker is apparently cleaned out and everything is completely gone. Not a surprise but good. Get that f***** out of the league.

[CyYoung31]

13...holy hell...

I just don't understand people sometimes. Most crimes are terrible, but at least I can usually understand the motives. Not in cases like this though.

The motive is that he’s sexually attracted to 13-year old children. Not hard to understand.

What is hard to understand is the complete lack of a conscience it would require to take advantage of a child like that.

[Hulavol]

Yeah- if his sprint speed is back to normal that’ll be all we need to know - and hopefully he is red scorching hot with the bat .... sure as heck is gonna be well rested - and we know how hot he can get after ASB- maybe we can catch Mark Lemke lightening in a bottle ...
