Can't believe this is a controversy , what stupid world we live in sometimes

[Jimcanuck]

Aren't both players in the wrong here?

 

Yes, Anderson's earlier comments were misplaced and silly. JD's derogatory comments yesterday do have racial undertones.

Typical leftist view, everything racist. smh

Not everything. The killings in Buffalo, yes. JD's derogatory comments to a black person, Anderson, related to his comparison of himself to the first black MLB player, has racial undertones, yes.

Anderson, related to his comparison of himself to the first black MLB player, has racial undertones, yes.

 

Just like Don Cherry's "you people" right? LOL

Context exists Jim. If there was no context, sure. But there’s context clear as day that anyone other than a bleeding heart can see and make sense of it all. Jesus

[connorp]

I also highly doubt JD just randomly lied and said he’s done the same smack talk before… so like wtf.. it’s crazy. Basically it’s just times have changed from 2 years ago and you can’t say it anymore. Which is basically where it’s all going

They just not have liked Pujols’ stuff

You can't see Jim's Avenger cape flapping in the wind?

You aren't understanding me, when I say racial undertones it means it is not overtly racist, and may not be perceived as racist by many, but will be by some.

 

Perception can get you fired from your job.

And that's the problem with the whole fkn thing. Judging others on perception, a bunch of hypocrites. Only FACTS should matter.

Donaldson was mocking Anderson for putting himself on Jackie Robinson's level.

 

I don't see how you can use Jackie Robinson's blackness as a criticism of what Donaldson said. Unless you think Anderson should be insulted by being compared to Jackie, Donaldson is clearly showing respect to Robinson here.

 

With the information we have the only person who has disrespected Robinson, the first black MLB player, is Tim Anderson.

[Jimcanuck]

It is highly likely that JD apologized because Yankees team counsel said he may have run afoul of MLB's WDHP policy.

[JaysAllMighty]

Everything is tilted away from common sense now. Ridiculous.

They definitely make him apologize. The first reaction is always the sincere one. Basically he’s sorry if something changed between now and when he said if 3 years ago

hope he apologized with a wink, play their stupid games

Imagine, like in the Twilight Zone, if an employer had someone’s back in a case like this lol

[Eat My Shatkins]

whoops

That would take a twilight zone episode sadly , up there with ones like in the 80s where secretaries are celebrities and the word encyclopedia meant dog

Yankees BP always seem to be next man up

[Solaxys]

Orioles tied the game with the Rays 6 - 6 and with 2 out in the 9th, they are calling a rain delay.

[Olerud363]

Red Sox sweep Seattle - 3 games out of a playoff spot.

 

Their offense looks amazing all of a sudden... This time next week they will probably hold the last AL wild card spot. Looks like another year where Rays, Sox and Yankees make the playoffs.

 

Devers and Bogaerts are having MVP seasons, Martinez back at career averages and Story looks to have recovered. Easy to supplement the couple of week spots in the line up (like Dalbach I think). In great shape.

Judge hits a no-doubter to tie the game in the 8th, 1 - 1

Would you rather be the Red Sox right now or the Blue Jays? Red Sox are 3 behind, but all their key players look to be OK, and are well positioned for a run.

 

Jays have dynamite pitching but their core of position players is a mess...

 

Red Sox you can be comfortable the core players will perform moving forward and the team will have a good run the rest of the way.

 

Jays you think the hitter's will rebound... but starting to feel legit concern, and the starting pitching can't be this good the whole way.

And Chapman gives up a bomb in the 9th. LOL
