P2F Old-Timey Member Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Also, some people here compared Marcus Stroman to Johnny Manziel. I'm rooting for Manziel's comeback but he played two seasons and washed out of the league. Add to that, an extremely colourful off-the field life. Marcus Stroman shows excitement and tweets non-offensive things you don't like, while becoming one of the top pitchers in the AL. You completely minimized and maximized just the right aspects of their lives in order to compare them to each other. That's privilege. I like the cut of your jib, so I thought I'd share with you a hidden subforum of the board. Please post here from now on: Super Secret Message Board Welcome to the society.
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Bump This is why I should lock old threads.

Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 That’s a Shocker bud But we got a mediocre return

Superdood Verified Member Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Honestly enjoyed him at his best but all the antics had grown old in my eyes. Wish him success but LOL Mets.... poor guy. Personally looking forward to watching Bichette with Vlad/Biggio/Gurriel/Jansen etc. in that lineup for the rest of the year now.

Love it when it’s just baseball stuff I get to read though That's very racist of you to assume all posters on here are white guys criticizing a black guy. Because I assume that's your definition of racism. What if we're all black and criticizing Stroman? What fallback do you have for that?
Dick_Pole Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Whew I am sure glad Atkins is white! Can't be racist criticizing him and there is a lot of well deserved heat headed in his direction. Shapiro not so much, which is a good thing because of anti-Semitism, but then again his people are stereotyped to be good negotiators and that is not what happened here.

Because I assume that's your definition of racism. What if we're all black and criticizing Stroman? What fallback do you have for that? I'm a white guy... And I criticised Stroman...but I also criticised Brett Lawrie for being a D-bag. People of all races can be shitheads. It's ok to call anyone out, regardless of race, as long as you're being consistent and applying the same criteria to everyone.

Yeah but if you criticize Stroman, it's obviously because he's black
ValiantJaysFan Verified Member Posted July 29, 2019 Author Posted July 29, 2019 List of players I've hated on the Jays the last decade: - JP Arencibia - Brett Lawrie - Marcus Stroman By my count that's 2 white guys and 1 black guy. I'm a total racist.
jaysguy44 Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Are you aloud to be mean or criticize a black person in 2019 without it being racist?
Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Are you aloud to be mean or criticize a black person in 2019 without it being racist? No. But do it anyway if it's warranted

ChrisS Verified Member Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 That’s a Shocker bud Anytime a person of colour is criticized its racist right? People grew tired of Marcus Stromans antics. Sometimes he acts like a self centered, entitled, childish douche with an inferiority complex. When he gets his way, everything is rosy and cool. The moment he doesnt he throws a temper tantrum. That is the definition of a child. He wins his arb case and is happy, says the blue jays were cool etc. He loses his arb case the next year and throws a tantrum and criticizes the org. He should have shut his mouth, stayed off social media and worked on his craft like a good professional would..

Treeplant Verified Member Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Yeah, you can think Stroman takes it too far sometimes and it has nothing to do with race. It’s not about tearing down a confident young black man, it’s about the fact that he’s a little much with it sometimes. There are probably a few bigots in this thread to be sure, but the hyper-sensitivity is a little much too. That said, on the whole, he gave Toronto a lot of good memories to be thankful for. I don’t mind him causing a ruckus on his way out, I wouldn’t like being treated the way he has been either. (Not saying management was wrong to ship him, but regardless of right or wrong I’d be pissed if I was loyal to the team and a great pitcher and I didn’t get approached about an extension and just got left in the dark knowing I was trade bait.) I hope he does well with the Mets, hopefully one of those prospects turns into something at least. Sucks to see him go with a full year left.

He has a chip on his shoulder....it is both his weakness and his strength.
