Addison Russell's Barry Larkin-esque 2040 HOF Primer Thread

[Saul Goodman]

I think we're missing the meatballery of Huey crying over a silly error while ignoring that Russell has been, literally, twice as good a defender at SS this year as anyone else.

I think we all should go to the track more often.

A Desipouting.

Every Sunday in Albany, California, (right next to Berkeley) we have dollar day at Golden Gate Field.  Parking is a dollar; entrance fee is a dollar; program is a dollar; hot dog is a dollar; beer is a dollar.  But a two dollar bet is two dollars. 

It really starts to add up. That's how they get you.

All this talk about horse racing is making me want to revisit "Thirty Tons A Day". Great read, highly recommended.

Guess it wouldn't be entirely accurate to say Russell's not hitting anything at all.

Did the story finally break? I've been seeing guys hinting loudly on Twitter.

ETA: Oh yeah...his (soon to be ex) wife and her best friend blew him up real good.

Openly discussed this morning on The Fart Throat & Mumble Mouth Show.

MLB is launching an investigation.

Really disappointed in Addison if this is true. Gonna be hard to root for him.

I kind of wish that in all cases of domestic violence, or accused misconduct of pretty much any type, they kept the matters anonymous and private until a verdict is rendered. This kind of thing taints a person's reputation pretty much forever, regardless of the outcome.

Come on. nobody even remembers Sammy Sosa and the rum bottle.

Who is "they?" Instagram? People?

It's not like we found this out through law enforcement or the media.

[Canadouche]

I wonder if Addison's early-season struggles were caused by stress from the drama at home. Perhaps the news getting out was actually a relief to him, because he wasn't hiding anything anymore.

Don't wonder about that.
There's no way to find out and it doesn't matter anyway.

At this point, they'll get a divorce, neither MLB nor law enforcement will do anything about it because it's unprovable and we'll just have to deal with rooting for a guy that might be a scumbag (admittedly any of them could be, but there's smoke here.)

That's the future as long as he's a Cub.

He's an immature scumbag at best. At worst, he's a narcissistic abuser. You can hope he becomes a better person. He is a good shortstop. I suppose Rey Sanchez, Alex Gonzalez, and Neifi Perez were wonderful citizens, husbands, and fathers.

Curiously absent from your list, Starlin Castro.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember.
