ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I mean, his responses weren't bad on their own, but he should KNOW by now that an entire army of his fans are going to go attack her, or anyone like her that he puts on display like that. He has been on Twitter long enough to know the time of power he, or any other athlete/celeb, hold when they start getting in public battles with fans.

She did throw out the 1st 2 insults. You don't pick a fight with someone bigger than you especially when that someone has legions of fans. Bauer too should have been wise enough to know his stature as a professional athlete would lead to something much bigger that would hurt his status . Her fandom of the Astros and Bregman led her to stick her nose into some good natured ribbing between 2 professional ballplayers. If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. I know we feel the need to stick up for the damsel in distress but she literally threw herself in harms way. I have no sympathy for either side. Neither side seems to have a clue about the consequences of their actions . 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 In terms of Twitter trolling everything she said was pretty mild too. It isn't like one of the nutjobs recommending suicide or going after his family to cross a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither side seems to have a clue about the consequences of their actions . Fans tweet at celebrities and athletes all the time in a much more derisive and negative light. Bauer took it literally and personally based on her first tweet and responded. It wouldn't have been a huge deal even from there, athletes tweet back fans all the time. This escalated when Bauer persisted to battle, and sent out 30 tweets and going back to year old history of her posts to insult here (seriously you would only expect from serial stalkers or trolls, not professional athletes who get tweeted at all the time). Bauer's persistence caught the attention of his fans and they decided to jump in to mock her and blew this up. To say that she should have known better and expected this from professional athlete isn't going to cut it. What she tweet him is pretty tamed compared to what goes on at twitter these days.

Like I said I have no sympathy for either side. Both were idiots. She is not a victim. She basically called him a 16 year old girl on her period to start the shit. I don't care that it didn't live up to the high standard of great insults from fans to celebs. Twitter is a cesspool and when you wade into a cesspool be prepared for some shit. If you can't handle it delete it . Pretty simple. This will be my last opinion on the matter because dipping my toe into that cesspool of nonsense is not something I feel the need to waste my time on. Most of us learned our lessons as children on something like this. Only morons take a stick and poke a bear. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure Bauer knows how twitter works by now and knows the consequences of his action (with the followers he has), yet he decided to do it anyways and act like a dick in the process.

iWiN4PreP Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Bauer was a moron here. He's a baseball superstar, should know much better AND he was the one to go out of lines with the 30 tweet mentions of this girl. The girl said some stupid shit initially, but that's no reason for Bauer to go ape-shit crazy stalker style 1000 on her. Especially with his status as a baseball superstar. What a moron. I get more heat from some video game nerds that I brush off and ignore immediately. It's not hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauer often likes to rip fans who tweet at him, kyle boddy who is the boss at driveline where he trains does that too. But this time not even boddy defended him.

JoshPR Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Bauer is a tool. But why did this chick drop into this conversation? I mean if you butt in and trash someone your gonna get burned. Should Bauer have taken the high road? Absolutely. But she gets no pity from me either... Its not your conversation you were not invited.

chitownsportsfan Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 She's a moron. Someone should let her know all she has to do to end the "vicious harassment" is log off the internet and delete her twitter. Some of these younger millenials are brain dead imo and no I am not a right winger far from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
