How many guys have I missed?
Chapman? He's a complete idiot, it seems. But I trust Joe Torre to figure it out. There were no charges. He shot up his garage. Something surely happened. But minus an elevator video, or the equivalent, I don't know how you do much more than fine and suspend for a while.
Which I would support, thank you. Being accused by your partner of choking her, then shooting up your garage, then hiding in the bushes from police seems to indicate something suspicious occured.
The commissioner has the power to fine and suspend. The union will appeal. But some punishement will still occur.
Then Chapman will throw 103 again.
Weather the PR storm, hold his feet to the flame, roll him out there again. Next June 1, perhaps.
