CJ Abrams DEMOTED for All Night Casino Trip | Foul Territory

[@DrAndy919]

It’s sickens me how much gambling is openly promoted in society these days

So it sickens you that a person can legally do something you don't like, I wonder what other people could find in your life and say the same thing?

[@johngoldsworthy7135]

@@benjames4502a lot of degenerate behavior is legal. Your point?

[@Gnar_Dogg]

Serious question, does alcohol being promoted everywhere upset you as well?

[@AlexHernandez-wj5zu]

Baseball promoting gambling and fantasy sports for money and then Abram’s getting demoted is a bit comical

[@PopOutPaulie]

He wasn't demoted for gambling he got demoted cause he gambled till 7am when he had a game at 1pm that day

[@lucianosavala6745]

Well they are grown men so a curfew is a little surprising. However to excuse this away is ridiculous. Let alone drinking during games, before, after, etc......... Come on you make way too much money to be treating the game like a Sunday beer league softball game.

[@chrisweidner4768]

Perhaps it’s a part of a pattern, and they are trying to wake him up.

[@madxD144]

Teams/organization should not tolerate bad behaviors period.

[@benjames4502]

A legal activity is bad behavior?

[@baosommurr4566]

​@benjames4502 yes gambling is an addiction especially when someone is playing gambling at 8am and have work tomorrow

This was a great conversation

[@positively_broad_st3780]

Showing up on time and being ready to play can be two different things. That kind of lifestyle can catch up to a player over the course of the long season. Nats were smart to shut it down before it becomes a way of for the young star...

[@patricklord2575]

You’d be cool with a curfew from your job? Are you a grown man?

[@positively_broad_st3780]

@@patricklord2575 I never said anything about a curfew. You assumed that with your narrow-mindedness...

[@zlo2889]

I get you guys are apart of the players brotherhood but trying to cover for CJ here is crazy. The Nats are setting a standard before it gets worse. Much higher chance of him doing something dumb again if they just give him a slap on the wrist. He’s young and I think he’ll learn from this

[@benjames4502]

So punish a person for doing something legal and has no direct impact on the team?

[@jefflewis4]

Trying to stop it before it gets worse by embarrassing the player never works. All it does it make the player angry, resentful, and determined to leave the organization the first chance they get. Was he late to the game ? Was he unprepared to play ? It does not appear so. Unless there more to this, this is excessive punishment for staying out all night.

[@walterehmann8799]

@@benjames4502I mean, he was 0-3 with a K the game after his all-nighter. Also, they were on a 4 game losing streak which became a 5-gamer after this game. Who do you know that stays out to the casino until 8AM when they have to be at work at 1PM? Nobody because 1.) they’d be too embarrassed to tell you and 2.)not many people do that to begin with. I don’t think it’s out of bounds for the Nats to think they were hopefully getting ahead of an issue. They didn’t put him on blast, the pictures of him were already out on social media before they made their decision (Davey showed Abrams the pictures during their meeting).

[@walterehmann8799]

@@jefflewis4He went 0-3 with a K after the all-nighter. Seemed pretty unprepared to get a hit that game, no? Also, he went 4-5 the game before then was flat after the all-nighter with only a BB to his name.

[@gregjensen370]

​@@jefflewis4 He's been unprepared to play at the MLB level for the better part of the second half of the season.

[@Dee_Rod]

I miss the days when this show talked about the sport of baseball. And not complain about cheap rich persons or incompetent employees/umpires..or the personal proclivities of players. there's so much to talk about directly within the sport.

[@SO-if3yn]

Clown move to demote him. Let him play for a real organization like the Dodgers. Mookie will mentor him and they have another MVP.

[@alexhuevera939]

you guys where players. you never managed. the reason is obvious.

[@kturetsky]

His punishment should be to play on the white sox!

[@Relentlezz41]

Generated behavior shouldn't be defended. But I feel like the Nats handled it wrong

[@benjames4502]

It was 8 am, you're telling a man what he can and can't do in his off time. He was at a place of legal activity, it doesn't make the club look bad. Honestly, this is bullsh*t, stop virtue signalling.

This show just gets goofier and goofier AJ: gambling all night during the season INHIBITS ONE’S ABILITY TO PERFORM. How do you not understand that, you damn meathead? Even though he’s not the sharpest person alive, he should know that not only as a former ballplayer, but as a fuckin living person

Explain Babe Ruth, he was a glutton and a drunk. He still has some of the best numbers in baseball history, in the dead ball era.
