The Houston Astros released a statement Sunday expressing their support for reliever Roberto Osuna as his 75-game suspension after being arrested for assault ends."Our decision to acquire Roberto was based entirely on information we gathered during our extensive investigation Deshaun Watson Jersey Elite ," the statement read. "That included as much information as we could gather about the specific incident and the charges that were filed but it also included as much as we could gather about his actions before and after the incident, as well as his personal reputation among his former teammates and coaches. The information regarding this specific incident weighed heavily on our decision but when evaluating the entirety of the information, we felt Roberto deserved a second chance."...We believe Roberto will not let us down. If there is any type of issue in the future, we will take immediate and decisive action鈥攊t will not be tolerated."Osuna, 23, spent his first three-plus MLB seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays Youth Jalen Ramsey Jersey , making the All-Star team in 2017. He was arrested in May on assault charges after allegedly assaulting the mother of his child. MLB placed him on administrative leave when the charges were filed before suspending him for 75 games.The case is currently ongoing.Lawyer Domenic Basilesaidhe is working on a deal that he hopes will get the assault dropped.The Astros' decision to acquire Osuna at MLB's trade deadline was roundly criticized for being tone deaf about domestic abuse. The organization has said in the past it has a zero-tolerance policy against domestic violence, though that only applies to acts committed in an Astros uniform."Make no bones about it鈥攄omestic violence allegations are bad," manager AJ Hinchtold reporters. "Domestic violence is bad. All of us as humans know that and believe that. And so we have to figure out a way to separate those feelings versus the additional opportunity he is getting on our club."Osuna will be activated to the MLB roster Sunday and could wind up serving as the Astros' closer during the season's stretch run. BOSTON (AP) — Alex Cora knows first-hand the way things change in October. That’s why the Boston Red Sox manager wants to keep everything the same for his club.Routine served Boston well during the regular season. Under their rookie skipper, the Red Sox posted a franchise-best 108 wins and secured home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.They will enter the American League Division Series on Friday with two AL MVP candidates in Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez, plus Cy Young Award candidate Chris Sale and former Cy Young winners David Price and Rick Porcello — both coming off solid regular seasons.The Red Sox won’t have an ALDS opponent until Wednesday when the Yankees host the Athletics in the wild-card game. Cora said the team will gather for dinner that night and watch together. Other than that, their preparations will be the same — from meetings http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/jalen-ramsey-jersey-cheap , to batting practices, to bullpen sessions.“That’s why I feel they’re gonna be fine, because nothing’s gonna change,” Cora said.Boston is coming off consecutive first-round postseason exits, winning just one game in those two series.Cora was an assistant coach with the Houston Astros last year when they opened the ALDS against Boston with back-to-back 8-2 victories on their way to a 3-1 series win and eventual World Series title.“It’s always good to have the last at-bat if you are down — no doubt about it,” Cora said of the benefits of opening at home. “We love it here…The atmosphere should be loud and we’ll take advantage of it.”Under Cora Youth Leonard Fournette Jersey , the Red Sox have become an aggressive offensive team with dependable power in the middle of the lineup — two of their biggest deficiencies over the last two postseasons.Martinez was given a $110 million, five-year contract this offseason specifically to help in those areas and has come through in a big way.He ended the regular season batting .330 with 43 home runs and 130 RBIs. The only other Red Sox to hit at least .330 with 40-plus homers and 130 RBIs are Ted Williams (1949) and Jimmie Foxx (1936, 1938). The last major leaguer to do it was Miguel Cabrera (2013).And according to the Elias Sports Bureau, Betts and Martinez became the first MLB teammates to finish first and second in batting average and slugging percentage since 1904, when Pittsburgh’s Honus Wagner and Fred Clarke did it.Betts also has other motivations entering his third postseason.He hit just .200 in his first postseason in 2016 before bouncing back to hit .313 last postseason. But he has yet to record a home run or RBI.He is coming off his best regular season as a major leaguer, with career-bests in batting average (.346) http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/leonard-fournette-jersey-cheap , slugging percentage (.640) and home runs (32).“I think it’s one of those things where you gotta go out and do what you’ve been doing all year — don’t try to do anything more or take anything way,” Betts said. “Just see the game the same way we played 162.”Boston won its regular-season series with the Yankees 10-9, but went just 2-4 against Oakland. The Athletics’ Sean Manaea no-hit Boston in April, though he’s now out for the season with an injury.Jackie Bradley Jr. said Boston has no preference for who it faces in Fenway Park on Friday.“The team that wins,” he said.Notes: Cora said right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is in line to start Game 4 of the ALDS if they face the Yankees. He said lefty Eduardo Rodriguez would start that game if they face the Athletics. But he said both decisions are not set in stone. Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello have been named as starters in the first three games.
