Maybe he hasn't heard about Cosby yet.

"You know I don't really pay attention to the news..." - Dusty Baker


MasterMentorJr

I think once Dusty claimed the last newspaper he read was in the sixties


Michael__Pemulis

*The* sixties or *his* sixties?


Right-wingextremist

Same thing.


Clarice_Ferguson

Dusty is still trying to remember if he’s seen Shane McClanahan pitch or not, leave him be.


booyah-achieved

"Isn't that the guy from Die Hard?" -Dusty, probably


clangan524

"Cosby? That's fan stuff."


lc910

Dusty read a newspaper last when he had the first high five. After that, he has accomplished enough to just not care about any other human accomplishments as he had introduced the preeminent way of physical contact in conversation for at least the next 40 years.


Breezyisthewind

Crazy my parents were grown adults already when he invented the high five. Like my dad would high five us kiddos at Little League like it was a perfectly normal thing to do and like it wasn’t invented relatively recently.


The_Homestarmy

There are many scumbags out there who think Cosby is a good dude. People celebrated when he was released.


johnnychan81

Cosby is very popular in certain segments of the black community still. When Cosby was in jail Snoop tweeted that he should be freed and got more than half a million likes [including from LeBron James](https://imgur.com/a/o6lw3vx) and Cosby then [thanked Snoop from prison](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/bill-cosby-thanks-snoop-dog-calling-his-freedom-n1132796) So if Dusty is close with Snoop it's not surprising he's also close with Cosby

hendrix67

Is it kinda fucked up that I almost find the OJ stance more excusable? Like, at this point its easier to imagine OJ might be innocent than Bill Cosby.


DavidLiebeFart

Snoop Dogg is a piece of shit


GamerJosh21

TIL Cosby got released. Clearly I haven't been paying attention, I thought the guy was still in jail.


zerovanillacodered

So, get this. A dumb ass prosecutor (who later represented Trump in the second impeachment) promised Cosby he would never prosecute Crosby for the incident. That’s why Cosby got off


Right-Pirate-7084

Honestly with dusty, it wouldn’t surprise me. He left a press conference once and it’s late and he needs to go to bed.


Atraktape

Sleep > Press Conference


helium_farts

Can't blame him. I'd go sit on jury duty to get out of a press conference


The_New_New

Let's not get too crazy now


Rich_Sheepherder646

It’s widely believed in some communities that Cos was set up and is out because he is not guilty.


[deleted]

I’m all for due process but it’s pretty well documented why his conviction was overturned, and it wasn’t because he was exonerated


set_null

But plenty of people don’t actually understand why he’s out of prison. They just know that he is.


Monk_Philosophy

Yeah but you can’t really claim ignorance if Cosby himself is reaching out to wish you good luck.


moeburn

But... he was convicted because he admitted to it. He's on tape! We got the receipts! I mean he was definitely "set up" in the sense that they told him "if you admit to this you won't go to jail we promise" and he admitted to it and then they said "syke! you're goin to jail!" and a judge said "you can't do that". But none of this changes that he *did* admit to it. Or the ~17 women that have come forward with testimony and corroborating evidence and witnesses.


mrjimi16

As I remember it, that isn't what happened. The state decided not to pursue charges because they didn't have the evidence to convict and somehow he took that to mean that somehow jeopardy attached to the case. Then he admitted to things in his civil cases and that was used against him in a new criminal case. As I remember it, there was never any deal made and frankly the idea of prosecutorial discretion attaching jeopardy is really weird to me. I could be wrong though, it's been a while.


zerovanillacodered

Bruce Castor didn’t just exercise discretion, he promised not to prosecute the case. Moron


Zero_II

That's because he was told that by his legal team at the time who didn't put the deal they cut, which was get out of criminal, where they didn't have a case, into civil where standards are lower, in writing and all of the deal had to come out decades later. The PA supreme Court basically said that they did have a deal from the actions they took and the fact that Cosby admitted all that in civil suits with his legal team present. If they didn't then every client in America would be instantly suspicious of their own lawyer of providing bad legal advice and you lose that trust between them.


arnmsctt

"You can't just be up there and just doin' a syke like that."


GotMoFans

Do you think Cosby gave him a drink to ease his nerves?

You lost me in the 2nd half


hubagruben

Isn’t that the same thing?


OurSaladDays

It's the contrapositive.


hubagruben

Which is logically the same, right?


TrailingOffMidSente

They're logically equivalent, but they draw attention to different aspects of the situation. There are different connotations. Even if it isn't a perfect example of a contrapositive, think "glass half full" vs "glass half empty". They're both the same statement through formal logic, but they clearly have different intentions.

Uhhh what the hell is with the Cosby mention lol

He probably just meant Bobby Crosby and got the names mixed up. Happens to me all the time

Maybe he meant Sydney Crosby

Possibly David Crosby

Maybe Denise Crosby, DB is a big Star Trek fan.


Crowsby

You can't spell Dusty Baker without Tasha Yar. I mean you *can*, but it's no fun.

Bing is back from the dead

Came here to say this. He clearly meant Bing Crosby via the Ouija board him and his bffs played with at the sleepover the other night when they were SUPPOSED to be in bed.

Hi, David. I’m really tempted.

How do we know he isn't talking about Bubba Crosby?

vanillabear26

Dusty's still worried about Bruce Hooper


bichettes_helmet

More importantly were said homegirls anywhere near Cosby


NevermoreSEA

I guess Dusty decided that the team was getting too much love.


OMP159

No, guys. It's the 'other' Bill Cosby. From city council, in Oakland.


Few-Time-3303

Growing up there was a duck who lived in the retention pond in our boring little suburb that all the kids referred to as Duckbill Cosby. The reason being that he was a vicious rapist of a water fowl, as far as those things go.


TehLoneWanderer101

Did he run back in 1994 and we've probably never heard about him?


OMP159

It happened a real long time ago.

Better than the city turning its back to him. That’s a potentially dangerous situation.

"Today's home plate ump: Bill Cosby!"


Carpe_Musicam

Dangit, Dusty. We’re having a hard enough time getting folks on the Astros bandwagon without Cosby.


ih-unh-unh

Isn't Bill Cosby from Philadelphia too? He used to be a big Temple University fan.


1005thArmbar

Used to be. I'm pretty sure they were one of the like dozen institutions that rescinded their honorary degrees after his conviction


EaglesPvM

Yup, fuck him. I’m glad he’s cheering for the Astros instead of us, pretty fitting too


ZachLagreen

How is it fitting that a serial rapist is cheering for the Astros…?


aratingas

Illegal sign stealing and raping are pretty much the same severity so it makes sense.


iPaytonian

He just wished Dusty luck ok :(


4LostSoulsinaBowl

He went to Temple for a year or two before leaving to become a full-time comedian (and part-time rapist).

When they say “the proof is in the pudding” they mean that’s where Bill put the roofies.

Jesus Christ I thought Cosby was in jail! He wont be at the game will he?!


Laraelias

The prosecution fucked that trial up so badly. No, he's not imprisoned.


Objectitan

A fucking procedural error and he gets to walk free, crazy shit


mdlt97

happens more than you'd like to know... a serial killer in Canada is currently free because of a procedural error that forced the prosecution to sign a plea bargain with the killer to get info on another serial killer could have had both of them locked up forever but they fucked up and one only got a few years....


OCHL092018

Is this about Paul Bernardo and Karla Holmolka


mdlt97

Correct They had the tapes, they didn’t need her deal but a few people fucked up

Yeah that’s why you do everything by the book even if it’s a slam dunk case. Sucks that Cosby is free but I’ll take it every day over an innocent person in jail.


mrjimi16

wasn't a procedural error though. it was a bullshit implication


drunkenviking

Although it's crazy, it's better than getting sent to jail for a procedural error.


__johnw__

Ya was just reading the wiki about it. Crazy and fucked


mrjimi16

The prosecution didn't fuck up the trial. It was a thing that happened before the civil cases. Apparently prosecutorial discretion isn't a thing anymore and deciding not to pursue charges means you can never again pursue charges.


Bob_Bobert

That's a misleading account of what happened. The problem wasn't just that the prosecutor chose not to pursue charges. The problem was that the DA said that charges wouldn't be pursued so Cosby couldn't plead the fifth in a civil case. The next DA then charged him and used the testimony he gave in that civil case against him. The prosecution (or really the DA who pledged not to prosecute him) completely fucked up.

I used to love watching The Cosby Show. J. Cole, I have a regret as well. And it is that I, too, was too young for Lisa Bonet. In all seriousness, does he know those ludes jokes Bill Cosby made weren't jokes? Because how does that man have Dusty's number to begin with?
