SF Giants hired a GM out of Philly. There were allegations that he tried to sweep a 17-yo's assault allegations under the rug. This wasn't sexual--the girl got extremely drunk, barfed and another girl took a selfie. The Giants severely investigated those and concluded that this coach did the best he could with the tools he then had but there has to be more of a culture in MLB to not dismiss victims.
Well the first reporter who got to ask questions had been seeding the SF Chronicle for months saying this guy was basically condoning Osuna when there was no evidence here that he'd done anything like that. She lit into him and as the senior reporter got to do it repeatedly. I happen to know her personally, and she's classically one of those who hides behind popular causes to be a nasty piece of work. She throughly deserved to be told to FO, but if she'd been told that, this guy's job would have been jeopardized before he even started working.
It's to your team and organizational interest to stay cool and stay to the script if you're paid to speak to the media, regardless of what they say to try to incite you.
No when you have questions that are like " Do you think you could have caught the ball if it would have been placed better to a NFL WR or do you wish you could have that pass back to a QB that through a Interception or would you have ran a different play if one was stuffed or failed badly. Yeah I would be kinda perturbed also.
