Claudia
"Babyyyy" i say. "My hearttt" he says and i chuckle. We just got to the airport. Its 3am. "I don't wanna goooo" i say chuckling. "I know" he says. "Gimme a kiss" he says. I turn to peck his lips but he places his hands on the sides of my face and deepens the kiss. We pull away and he softly bites on my lip and i chuckle. "I love you see you in a few days kick ass" i say. "I love you" he says. "Demolish them. Bring the team back to life. Be careful , if these betches wanna attack you and do shit to yoy respond okay? Don't let these betches affect your feelings" he says and i chuckle. "Take care of my son" he says. We say our goodbyes then i put my backpack on and get off with my 3 bags. 2 are Bazzi's i have my backpack and suitcase.

@claudiatihan: yes i did name him Bazzi because why not? (Gotta give credit to @suebaby she brought up the idea) he's a Yorkie Terrier. 9 weeks old.

I play today , I'm excited. I landed at 7am. I took a shower and rested a bit. I'm now finishing up Bazzi's bag. So I'm flying out vic so I'm meeting him in Miami i land first then he does. Its 11am right now. I put him in the carrier bag and grab my backpack along with my keys and phone and go down to the bus. Luckily no one is inside. Soon they get in and their eyes widen when they see me but i completely ignore them. The drive is short. We arrive at the stadium and everyone gets off. I follow along with bazzi and we go into the clubhouse. "Put your things away and go to the meeting asap" we get told. "Want me to watch him?" Sue asks , we have her for the next two games. "Yes please" i say and she gets the bag.

I finish telling her where things are and i put my stuff away then go to the meeting. I sit down and put my phone on the table. They're still on their childish bullshit. I'm sitting away from all of them. I haven't seen them since my injury months ago. "Goodmorning ladies" andrew and coach say. "Goodmorning" we all say. "First things first , we're so happy have you back Claudia. You've been missed" Andrew says. "Okay we'll just cut to the chase. Teammates , teammates are family. This" he says and points at all of us. "This is a family. Family sticks together , family stands up for eachother" he says. Oh god.

"If you haven't noticed which im sure you have this team has been in a controversy over you not treating eachother with the same respect" coach says. True , they have been getting DRAGGED saying they treat me like crap which isn't a lie but again not fully true. "Many fans have called you all of for what happened when claudia got injured. Instead of you going to check on your teammate you all stayed together in a circle converstaing" he says. "We're aware that prior to her injury you guys go out as a team but don't include her. This from our view seems like bullying. She's your teammate" he says.

"None of you will leave this room until you talk it out. This drama / tension you have will affect your game" andrew says and they all stay quiet some just looking around the room. "There isn't anything to talk about. I didn't come here to make friends. I came solely for the game , if i made/make friends along the way then good? This whole situation is childish as fuck. I don't care if i don't get invited to these outings. I don't care if I'm alone. I understand we're teammates , and i keep everything proffesional for the game. Thats that. Outside of games i don't care to associate myself with them" i say and many stay shook to my response.

"Okay I'll just say it. We don't feel the need to associate with her because shes a child. 18 years old. We don't want to babysit. We just feel like she's stuck up" Elle says and i chuckle. "You don't know me. None of you do. How am i stuck up?" I ask and she stays quiet. "We feel more uncomfortable knowing her sexuality" natti says and again i chuckle. "Again you don't know me" i say. "What's my sexuality? What makes you guys uncomfortable?" I ask. "Your lesbian we don't want you in the same clubhouse as us" she says. "You cannot deny it either. You posted about it" elle says.

"This is bullshit. True bullshit. I'm not lesbian just fyi. Even if i was why should i explain myself to you or anyone?" I ask. They all stay quiet i'm beyond pissed off. "All we're saying is we don't want to be getting dressed in a room with someone whos bi or lesbian" she says. "We don't need hee getting any thoughts" natti says i chuckle and get up. "No claudia don't" andrew says but i get out of the room and look for sue. "Whats wrong?" She asks. "That meeting was bullshit" i say. I look at bazzi and he's asleep. "Can he stay here?" I ask and she nods. I go down to the field and put in my airpods. "Yes my love?" Alex asks.

"I'm FUMING" i say. "Why?" He asks. "Andrew and coach called a meeting about whats been going on. They saw no one was talking so he said no one was leaving the room until the air was cleared again no one was speaking. I spoke up and pretty much said i didn't care to have any kind of relationship with them. I didn't care to associate myself with them. I was just going to keep everything proffesional for the sake of the game" i say. "Right" he says. "Then one of them said they want nothing to do because I'm a qoute on qoute child and they don't want to babysit and because im stuckup". I say. IM FUMINGGGG. "Wtf" he says. "No hold on the next part is better" i say.

"I'm fucking pissed off" i say. "Ready for this part?" I ask. "Another one said and i quote "we feel more uncomfortable now knowing her sexuality"!!! Fucking BULLSHIT. Thats what that is. She says I'm lesbian because of my post and they don't want me in to be in the same room as them when they get dressed" i say pissed off. "What the fuck" he says. "I've never been more pissed off in my LIFE" i say. "I'm pissed off. That's bullshit" he says. We stay talking as i warm up and he calms me down a bit. After warm ups i do bp and go to the clubhouse as they go to bp and do warmups.

"Claudia can we talk to you?" Andrew says. "I just wanna say this and make this clear. I won't stay here or be in the same room with them. They're homophobic as fuck and i don't stand with that. I won't be in this team anymore if these actions are allowed" i say. "We want to apologize for that. We don't condone that just making it clear" he says. "We understand where your coming from and we will be willing to do anything to accommodate you" he says. We talk and we agree on what will happen then he leaves and i go eat lunch with sue.

@claudiatihan: alot of you have felt some type of way about the post i made a few days ago , the photo with the caption "pride month baby🏳️‍🌈". MANY having a lot of negative things to say. I haven't said anything because i thought it would cool down but it hasn't so here i am now speaking on it.

@claudiatihan: as of right now I'm the only female in the mlb who has "come out" and it has outraged many mlb fans. First things first , i DON'T identify as lesbian , straight or bisexual. I'll fall in love with a human being , for all i know it can be a girl or a guy or whatever the case may be. I'll fall in love with the person , their personality not for their gender.

@claudiatihan: i've faced discrimination throughtout the past years even now , which is such a sad thing. we're in 2020 now , enough is enough. please tell me who or where in the books its written that men shall only be attracted to women ? women shall only be attracted to men ?

@claudiatihan: why should WE , and i say we because i stand with LGBT+  , face discrimination? why do we still have to deal with these ignorant homophobes and their homophobic remarks?

@claudiatihan: just know these homophobic remarks against me don't phase me , I've heard them plenty of times. call me all the names in the book. i know who i am , i know what i stand for and thats all that matters to me.
