But Bader didn’t learn of his fate in a traditional way. Instead, the 29-year-old revealed he found out he was being waived by catching a glimpse of a television.
“I was in the lunchroom. Saw it on ESPN,” Bader told reporters following New York’s win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, per YES Network video. “I guess it popped somehow on there. So, that’s how I found out.”
Not liking a player because of their talent level is pretty bush league IMO. Not liking them because they're an asshole is entirely different.
I didn't ever hate Ausmus and Everett, just the free inning the opposing pitcher got when he faced them in the 7-8-9 part of the lineup.
I also didnt hat Carlos Lee.. I hated that era of Astros baseball for sure though.
You guys discussing most hated players are leaving off Tyler White. Maybe your brains forced his memory out of your conscious as some sort of self defense mechanism.
My 9 year old son is obsessed with the Astros. He watches the games, plays with them on MLB the Show, youtube highlights every morning, ect...
When he acts up, wife punsihes him by taking away all Astros media for a week. I'm working with her to try to find a consequences that don't punish me as well.
I for one celebrate the Astros treatment of the media. I actually think its not harsh enough. They all are on the money train making them out to be the villians, and they all get to eat shit sandwich after shit sandwich... the latest coming when Tucker squeezed that foul bowl of Castellanos's bat last November.
Seriously its the same media keeping Sosa, Bonds, Clemens out of the HOF when they capitalized on the enhancements themselves. Then they capitalized again when it was time to tear them all down. Then they sweep the Yankees and Red Sox Apple watch scam under the rug and crucify the Astros whn we have the trash can thing.
Its the same media thats going to keep Altuve from being a 1st ballot HOF because of his alleged "role."
Fuck them. Fuck them all.
This. Atlanta is the correct answer. As far as the spin the FO gives the media and fans, its frustrating but does not mean its a bad FO. We can have a well run organization, which we do, and be shitty in media relations. And it all stems from Crane, who I think is an awesome owner. Even Dusty's inability to provide an accurate explanation on Diaz and Chas ABs starts with the culture Crane created.
I definitely want Tucker back.. However, its seems very un-Astros to do so in light of recent stars that have left.. Hopefully Crane wins that lawsuit and hopefully we can work a new TV deal..
Well this is the Texas hater thread so I couldnt think of a better way to pile on than to share a story about snakes falling from the sky and subsequently being attacked by a bird of prey.
