 story you're talking about it's a blue jay relievers name is mike balsinger and he is actually um entering the mix with a potential precedent setting civil lawsuit so balsinger was pitching for the blue jays on august 4th 2017 in houston the astros hit him for four runs four hits three walks and one third of an inning 29 pitches and balsinger told us a today i don't know if i've had a worse outing in my professional career i remember saying it was like they knew what i was throwing they're laying off pitches they weren't laying off before it's like they knew what was coming that was the thought in my head felt like i didn't have a chance astros won 16 7 and it ended up being balsinger's last appearance in the majors he was demoted by toronto the next day on monday today he fired back filing a civil lawsuit suit in los angeles superior court accusing the astros of unfair business practices negligence and intentional interference with contractional and economic relations according to the suit filed by ben meseles of garagos and garagos in los angeles balsinger stated that the astros unlawful and tortuous business practices have had consequences far beyond wins and losses and strikeouts or home runs it could have cost him his career so he is seeking damages in three distinct lanes with the suit including for himself he's asking the astros to forfeit the nearly 31 million in bonuses from the 2017 world series championships with the funds instead going to charities in los angeles focusing on bettering kids life so he also wants to create a fun for retired baseball players who need financial assistance so that makes it actually look pretty good don because he's not looking to gain anything for himself but that's what we're looking at here we're looking at lawsuits being filed i still think you might see some people decide that maybe bet on games now that gambling is legal in certain areas do they have a kick coming um i don't know but that that's that's opening up a whole pandora's box did you
