He agreed with Keith Law's hot take implying that Atkins is a racist.

This was awhile ago, when Stroman was traded to the Mets.

 

 

Stroman endorsed that message.

Don't call people racists without proof. It's a plague on our society and I take it personally.

 

Don't call me an uptight f*** either and I'd probably take it easier on you. :)

 

again...report when someone calls you an uptight f*** instead of responding.

Q:I wonder if there are any smart baseball players?

A: Let's name a few who went to Ivy League schools or have really hard sounding degrees.

 

I'm actually in Jim's camp here, that most would function in society just fine without baseball talent. How well do you know these guys? Outside of Hurl and his inside connections everyone here relies on media or social media. And who comes off as consistently smart in media or social media outside of comedians like Dave Chappelle? Practically no one. And last time I checked Chappelle was just some dude out of Ohio, not someone who completed a PhD in Physics at Oxford.

 

Chappelle went to Washington's "Fame" (a theatre arts high school), I know I always respected the intelligence of Leroy, Julie and Coco. Both his parents were professors though.

 

I wouldn't say I have any insight about players intelligence. Not the conversation I have with front office people. I can tell you which ones slept with other players girlfriends though. I won't...but I could.

Sorry man, but I clarified that I was suggesting it wouldn't surprise me if everyone is telling the truth and that I obviously have no idea if Grichuk is racist. Misconstruing what people said based on predetermined bias and slamming them for it is also a plague on our society.

Before you take Aubrey's side in all this, remember he's well known inside the baseball world for being a major drug addict and general all-around *******. He's even admitted to being a jerk in his book that he wrote

Or...we can just admit that they're both pieces of s***.

What does him bring a "major drug addict" have to do with anything?

 

I personally like the dude, regardless if he's a jerk or not.

Forgot about Grichuk tweeting about bat flips after that tim anderson one.

 

Grichuk is f***ing loser too lol

 

What made it worse was Grichuk not having the balls to admit he was talking about Anderson when confronted on it, even though he made that Tweet on the same day Anderson did it, and it (the bat flip) was a pretty big deal in MLB circles. I guess it was all a crazy coincidence.

I'd be more willing to take that stance if he didn't have a history of this s***. He agreed with Keith Law's hot take implying that Atkins is a racist.

 

I don't think that Jays official was Atkins. He's pretty PC/corporate in his media responses. He wouldn't have said something like that based on his history.

 

With that said, nobody hates Keith Law more than I do, but MLB front offices/clubhouses don't strike me as being overly diverse. Law hearing coded racism in his time as a front office member isn't much of a reach. Whether the quote he was responding to was racist is up for interpretation, though.

The main problem I see with Randal Grichuk is that he is a boring ass 29 year old man who should not be tweeting at all. That's it. Just log off, man. Don't tweet "guy SMH 100 bro" at your peers. It's cringetopia.

I find Huff, Stro, and Grichuk equally nauseating at times.

 

Not one to allow bias favour one over the other.

 

c'mon. Randal Grichuk is barely a thing. The other two with their constant attention seeking have to be so much worse.

Grichuk and Stroman aren't even close when it comes to unbearably annoying.

 

Stro is probably the biggest attention seeking, race baiting, whiner in the league.

 

It's always Stro against the world, even though he was a 1st round pick. The underdog story is such a overkill.

Yeah, Grichuk is a bitch. Don't think anyone will argue that one.

For people like Keith Law, literally everything is coded racism.

I would be happy if both Grichuck and Stroman were not on the team. I am 50% to my goal. Then it would just be ex- Blue Jays drama mixed in with an ex Oriole among other teams..

It's Jeremy Accardo, isn't it?
