In reading the blog, did I miss allegations of actual physical abuse?  I see allegations that he threatened physical abuse but not actual abuse.

She definitely hinted at physical abuse a few times, though she didn't say specifically what happened.

Quote
The first time I was physically mistreated by my spouse, I was in shock. I couldn’t wrap my head around what just happened…Why did he get so angry? What did I do for him to want to put his hands on me?

Quote
About a month after leaving, I returned for a visit so my son could see his father, also in hopes that maybe, just maybe I’d see a change in my husband. But, as I expected our visit was a nightmare, I swore to myself it would be the last time he’d lay his hands on me & it would be that last time I’d let my son be a witness to it.

I bet he's played his last game as a Cub.

I was actually wondering how the Cubs were going to get Murphy and or Zobrist out there for the playoffs.  I guess this way Baez is at SS, Bryant at 3B, and Murphy or Zobrist at 2B or RF for Zobrist.

I was hoping they were going to trade Russell for Machado earlier in the season and now I REALLY wished they had.

I wonder if this might make Murphy more attractive as a free agent?  The other option would be Harper with Zobrist/Happ at 2B or Machado for SS and Baez to 2B.

Murphy needs to go to a team that can use him at 1B or DH. He's done as a second baseman after this year, I think.

The Cubs probably do need to do something in the middle infield this offseason now, though. Outside of Machado, the free agent market doesn't look good unless you expect a Brian Dozier rebound or you buy into DJ LeMahieu outside of Coors.

If they don't go after Machado, who is going to be available in trades? The Royals should deal Whit Merrifield and he seems like a good fit, but they don't seem to be willing to commit to a full rebuild. The Rangers may be tearing down, so I guess I could be convinced that Elvis Andrus wouldn't be terrible if his early season wrist injury caused his down year. And Zack Cozart for Tyler Chatwood would be salary neutral trade of two disappointing free agents who might benefit from a fresh start. Anyone else?

Im guilty of two things here.

1-I dont care one bit what type of person these players are off the field and fully believe if we personally knew a lot of them we'd view them very differently. All I care about is their on field performance.

2-Its his side against hers and none of us know the real truth. If you believe Addison its because you want to and if you dont its because you want to.

I guess Im just not so quick to rush to judgement on people.

The bible taught me that too.

If he truly did beat his wife then send him down the road.

But...if he didnt then Kanye might have a point.

I need more than her sob story to believe her.

My first child's mother claims I hit her in the past and I never touched her.

She never claimed that until I got married.

Addison just got another girl pregnant and now Melissa wants to talk.

Come on man.

I know Im not the only man here who sees what's going on.

You immediately called an alleged victim of domestic abuse a liar and a gold digger who is just seeking attention. You are rushing to judgment faster than anyone here.

Cozart had shoulder surgery and that always scares me.  Conforto had a nice rebound this year coming off on shoulder surgery, so it might be a nice idea.

Stick with this, everything else is just a bad.  Really bad, horrible, and stupid.

There is NOTHING about this perspective that is Christ-like, aka, Christian.

Your posts have been full of nothing but AWFUL judgement towards Addison’s ex wife. Do you seriously not see that? You’re not suggesting that people avoid rushing to judgement. You’re demonizing the accuser, heaping judgement upon judgement.

I know Im not the only man here who sees what's going on.

Yes, thank god for the perspective of patriarchal, toxic masculinity that is endemic to our culture.
