The saga surrounding Hector Olivera has been heartbreaking on a number of levels. For fans, having the promise of production yanked out of a lineup due to (alleged) stupidity on a player's part does not feel good in a year that already promised to be tough in terms of wins and losses.
More importantly though, Olivera's arrest and allegations of domestic violence highlight the darker side of humanity where abuse and violence are common place and bring that to the forefront of our minds. We know very little about the accuser/victim as well as what happened in that hotel, but given how swift the Braves put Olivera on leave in conjunction with the events of today, we can imagine it was pretty awful.
