Well, it seems Goose Gossage isn't happy.ESPN's Andrew Marchand intended to interview Gossage about Aroldis Chapman, and the interview turned into a rip session about steroid users, bat flippers and front office executives who make decisions based on advanced stats."Bautista is a f---ing disgrace to the game," Gossage told ESPN. "He's embarrassing to all the Latin players, whoever played before him. Throwing his bat and acting like a fool, like all those guys in Toronto. (Yoenis) Cespedes, same thing. ... Ryan Braun is a f---ing steroid user. 
He gets a standing ovation on Opening Day in Milwaukee. How do you explain that to your kid after throwing people under the bus and lying through his f---ing teeth? They don't have anyone passing the f---ing torch to these people."And don't get Gossage started on analytics."The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it," he said. "I'll tell you what has happened, these guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the f--- they went and they thought they figured the f---ing game out. They don't know s---. A bunch of f---ing nerds running the game. You can't slide into second base. You can't take out the f---ing catcher because (Buster) Posey was in the wrong position and they are going to change all the rules. You can't pitch inside anymore. I'd like to knock some of these f---ers on their ass and see how they would do against pitchers in the old days."To Bautista's credit, he didn't take the bait when told of Gossage's comments."He's a great ambassador for the game," Bautista told ESPN. "I don't agree with him. I'm disappointed that he made those comments, but I'm not going to get into it with him. I would never say anything about him, no matter what he said about me."Chad Jennings, cjennings@lohud.com
