Disturbing story involving Oregon State's best pitcher

[Frog-in-law1995]

This is one of those differences of opinion that time will certainly settle. May be wrong, I know, but I still bet that if this guy is as good as they say, he'll be pitching in the MLs before too long, and his bank account will show it.

You said as a signing bonus.

At least the local newspaper there doesn't try to cover up or sugarcoat facts that may be detrimental to the university's winning streaks. Take note, Waco.

Will he play for Oregon state going forward?

Will he play for Oregon state going forward?

Probably. According to the article, at least someone at Oregon State knew ("Oregon State does learn when a student is a registered sex offender, according to university spokesman Steve Clark.") and it's a 6 year old crime for which he was already convicted. It'd just be reactionary to remove him from the team now.

only because the public knows now.

Every one of those teams has run a background check on the top prospects on their list and thus they knew about it.

Just like Oregon State has known about it.

The difference is now the PUBLIC knows about it...and so they won't take the heat

Since this happened when he was a minor, wouldn't the records be sealed against a background check?

UT and Brenda Tracy are jealous of their success.

Worst part is that he did this over about a 2 year period. First happened when the girl was 4. What a sick scheiss.

Yeah they can't do really anything now, but why was he given that chance? Assuming he signed with them out of high school, the crime was only 2 years old at that point.

In many states, sex offender convictions are an exception to that rule.

The post directly after mine should've been a clue.

Only takes one team, but.........

You'd be surprised how untrue this is.

If and when........ will Riggs and his bullpen hyenas be able to control themselves?

The answer is "no"

 

[Sand Frog]

The answer is "no"

I still laugh at the Baylor shake weight reference.

Credit to their fanbase, as the first comment references how Baylor the OP sounds.

Just like RapeFans, there's always one dissenter. Probably about to be banned.

Something tells me the Omaha fan base will not treat him well.

Does Waco have a pro team he could play for?
