Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer hasn't played a Major League Baseball game since late June, when a woman received a temporary restraining order against him after alleging that consensual sexual encounters turned into sexual and physical assaults on two occasions. Bauer has not been charged with any crimes and denies the allegations, and a judge denied last week a request to make the restraining order permanent. 

But the controversy has cast a harsh light on sexism in baseball, which has been present in the sport since its start and continues to plague the national pastime. And this time, the reaction seems different.

Now is the time, Atlanta. Honor Hank Aaron and eliminate your problematic baseball team name in one fell swoop. Hammerin’ Hank deserves it.  Kiké Hernandez and George Springer highlight the hot stove this week. The Mets fire Jared Porter for his abusive treatment of a female sports journalist (dick pics and out of control unsolicited texting). Good on ya, Steve Cohen, but next time include some women in your vetting and you can avoid the bad hire to begin with. Jessica Mendoza gives excellent context. We crosstrain with professional hockey in which the women act to end racism and the men just can’t follow health protocols.

We tiptoe back to the Astros in our boyfriend segment where Pottymouth selects Winter Ball favorite Jose Siri and Patti hopes for a comeback for 2019 Rookie of the Year Yordan Alvarez. Over in Milwaukee (dammit, Packers) Pottymouth chooses Luis Urías as her Brewers boyfriend, watching for the moment when his hamate-surgery induced superpowers kick in.  Patti hopes for a comeback for 2018 MVP and her current once and forever boyfriend, Christian Yelich.  There’s a boyfriend-laden Venezuelan home run derby and so much more in Winter Baseball. Also, there is delicious Silver Branch beer in a variety of Wicked Weed barware.
