Remember when Clevinger whined about Tatis’s “maturity?”

People that abuse children should be castrated and fed their own balls.

The White Sox have had some bad decision making in recent years.

Mickey Callaway as the pitching coach of Bauer and Clevinger really was an awful cesspool in Cleveland.

I tend to lean toward let’s let the details come out, but if he hurt his infant daughter there isn’t a harsh enough punishment for me.

Re: Mike Clevinger under investigation for spousal AND child abuse
Yeah, pretty gross. The Athletic reported, I think, that his gf/wife said he slapped her then threw his used dip on their daughter....which, if true, is just disgusting. I mean, it's physically gross. But the emotional aspect too of using the daughter/doing bad things to her in an effort to hurt the mom is just as bad.

Re: Mike Clevinger under investigation for spousal AND child abuse
Didn't they not listen to him? Big reason both were gone. Bauer especially had too much influence on that staff that they didn't like.
Like I specifically read that both were off on their own. Who knew it might have been because of sociopathic behavior and not only selfishness. Both are freaks and should be out of baseball.
