Luke Heimlich
Started for the Beavs yesterday and got the win. Any thoughts? Not really after Beaver bashing, just thoughts on Beavs quietly putting a sex offender back on the team.

Re: Luke Heimlich

Re: Luke Heimlich
What he did was really bad, but wasn't he also like 13 or 14? Doesn't make it remotely ok, I have two young daughters myself and I would be beyond livid if something similar happened. I'm honestly not sure how long it should follow him though when you consider he was likely a middle schooler.

Re: Luke Heimlich
Thanks for the great response, what I wasn't trying to get from others was how far does win at all cost go? You're correct he was a young teen at the time and I believe it was his niece, but it was ........ well within his knowledge of how far it went for his age. Not saying he shouldn't or should be on the team, just wondering how far is too far for win at all cost?lukeyrid13 wrote:What he did was really bad, but wasn't he also like 13 or 14?

Interesting tidbit: Luke's brother, Caleb, recently got elected as chairman of the Washington State Republican Party.

Re: Luke Heimlich
Goes another draft without getting picked. Interesting to talk about forgiveness, redemption, etc, but when the rubber meets the road, teams are extremely hesitant to sign up a guy who could draw the ire of anti-abuse advocates. Terrible situation.

Re: Luke Heimlich
One thing to consider is many children that molest other children do so because they are victims of sexual abuse themselves. I’m not making excuses for the kid, but just something to possibly take into account.

Re: Luke Heimlich
He didn't really get bombed, but he was certainly off, hit batters and had no control. He was pulled after 2 and 1/3. But the whole beaver team was off, lucky it was as close as it was. On to the losers bracket Monday afternoon.cordy02c wrote:got bombed at the world series and beats lost

Re: Luke Heimlich
I find it interesting that a convicted murderer can get a second chance at life but this kid can't catch a break in baseball.

Re: Luke Heimlich
In fairness, nobody is saying he can't make a living, just not playing baseball. I don't know how I feel about that, but it might help if he got the forgiveness and blessing of the parents of the relative that he abused. It seems kind of telling that the mom still has a problem with him.
