This feels really bad. We're mostly Red Sox fans here, and Roberts holds a place in hearts and minds that is truly iconic and special. A guy that up until now, I'd say should never have to pay for a meal or a drink if I had my druthers.
Bauer's clearly done something wrong -- and I say that as someone who enjoys his trolling and his antics -- baseball needs more characters. Roberts just has to say "we're going to wait until further investigation".
Here's the decision matrix:
Bauer Guilty, Starts: Well, shit, the Dodgers REALLY fucked up. Rapist starts baseball game. Cool. Good stuff, Dodgers org.
Bauer Guilty, Doesn't Start: Good for the Dodgers for taking advanced action and that they put their morals first.
Bauer Innocent, Doesn't Start: Good for the Dodgers or taking what they thought was advanced action, they put their morals first.
Bauer Innocent, Starts: While it worked out, for the most part it came across as crass and foolhardy at best.
Just don't start him. It's not hard. If he's guilty (which seems extremely likely based on the evidence), you're fucked. The rest of them you've either made the really smart decision, or you've just taken care of business, morally, and it worked out.
