That he has presented Lueke as "a rapist with incredible pitching ability." 
To you and me, that has been the insinuation, at least -- I wonder if that is the target at which he was shooting.
If I believed Lueke to have been demonstrated to be "a rapist," this would be a different conversation.

Your material points are important here DaddyO.  I think that Geoff's responsibility to fairness does include fairness to Lueke, and I believe the general impression left of Lueke is a misleading one.
Of course, he would disagree:  Geoff evidently sees Lueke's crime as -- in many senses -- unforgivable, comparing Lueke to other sports personalities who were not, in fact, forgiven.

I agree with you, that if the hidden story tended toward heinous, that we'd be getting a different vibe from BASEBALL.  Lueke is just a minor league reliever.  He can be powerflushed easily enough.

As to your first paragraph, mega-c-points, as per usual for you.
