NEWS: Astros assistant GM Brandon Taubman was targeting a female reporter wearing a purple bracelet on domestic violence.

She has tweeted frequently on DV; he complained about her tweets offering info on DV hotlines when Roberto Osuna appeared in Astros games in 2018. My story: https://t.co/pjNptpOyIl

Good thing he's a husband and father. That should absolve him.

Name one person who is married & has a kid who has ever done anything wrong.

By "trying to figure out" did you mean avoiding reading anything about it?

First time I'm even seeing it. Read one story that says he said

By screaming it repeatedly in a bunch of women's faces?

Not sure, but go Nats!

So the women are accusing him of intentionally yelling it at them? I see

There have been at least half a dozen corroborations, including some men.

What are you even talking about? I've been on a business trip for 7 days and

Interesting that you started with the Astros team talking points

TCuz

Maybe because the first thing I read was the OP.

10/22/19 2:45pm

Tcuz thats a odd response on your part to a guy asking a question, why so angry?

Your first reaction when hearing a new story about domestic violence

TCuz

10/22/19 3:22pm

The OP said nothing of domestic violence.

Ozymandias

10/22/19 3:28pm

Can you point out above where I doubted any of the accusations? I seriously

I'll take the L for assuming things based on who I was interacting with.

TCuz

10/22/19 3:38pm

Still a pretty lame reply implying I've taken pro domestic abuse positions in

This is obviously an issue that tcuz feels extremely sensitive with. So, i guess take it with a grain of salt, and be as

These days you shouldn't say "I am sorry if people were offended by my actions."

Not sure I'd call that tripling down. You could question the authenticity of

1. The statement. 2. (Double down) Saying the reporter fabricated the story. 3. (Tripling down) saying it happened
