I think it's great that Josh Donaldson is trying to be todays Ty Cobb.

Dog Faced JoJo posted:Don't paraphrase the quote: I suppose I just read the quote differently. if it's a semantic difference, fine. the thing that annoys me about it is that to me, a dopey white guy who more or less worships Jackie Robinson, is it seems very ignorant about just how incredible what he did really was, and how important it was to shaping the modern sports and social environment that Anderson is very much a beneficiary of. Anderson seems like a decent and very intelligent guy, but nothing he will ever do will be as important or heroic as what Jackie Robinson did. that being said, I am all ears to hear anything Anderson or any other athlete has to say about their experiences in pro sports and how racism affects it. if he wants to pump his own tires in some random interview to sports illustrated, fine. but when people make fun of you for saying dumb poo poo in said interview, just take your medicine man. don't go slinging around accusations of racism because you feel silly for saying something stupid 3 years ago.

You can and what he said was stupid.

It's one way to interpret what he said and I don't think it is hard to understand. I also think it's easy to understand how someone would read "I kinda feel like today's Jackie Robinson" and interpret it as him saying, well, he's today's Jackie Robinson. My honest feeling on the whole matter is that Donaldson is an rear end and needled a bit too much when tensions were already high from that play at third a few days ago but we probably don't hear about any of this if Chicago wins those games.

N: The Twins looked set to get smoked by the Royals in a sour ending to an excellent string of based ball against them and the A's, but then KC's bullpen pulled a Classic Twins and melted down like Chernobyl allowing us to scream back and escape with the win and another sweep for the stack. V: LOL Somehow the Twins continue to exist as a Functional Baseball Team, which may be enough.

The Tigers will have a starting pitcher to be named later to start game three against the twins on Wednesday, such is the state of the injuries running through the team

The Astros are in first so nah e: Man I can't imagine how good this pitching staff is going to look when McCullers gets back. Of course, they're all pitching way above their heads at the moment I guess so they'll have to regress at some point JV isn't going to finish the season with a 1.22 ERA for example

After a tough week for Angels relief pitching, Tepera and Iglesias combined to face 5 batters and strike out all 5 on 21 pitches with 11 whiffs to close out a series win over the A's.

just wanna say that as a person of color that has gotten the "you look like/are x" thing a lot of times in my life it is hard for me to look at the situation and give donaldson the benefit of the doubt in any respect. like, even if you think that anderson comparing himself to robinson is 100% wrongheaded in any context, how is invoking his name while performing one of the most common racial microaggressions worthy of defending? it's not a normal thing to do with friends, let alone some dude who already doesn't like you also tim anderson literally homered while I was typing this, lol TwoHeadedDeer fucked around with this message at 02:42 on May 23, 2022 |

The secret to beating the Yankees is to create some sort of reason to have a grudge against them and then kick them in the junk because they can't answer back a win. It's happened regularly the past few years. They'll fold every time in response.

This weekend, I learned that MLB sponsors a PGA golfer and this is the whitest thing I've ever seen. https://www.pgatour.com/players/player.57366.cameron-young.html According to one site, that sponsorship comes with free access to any MLB stadium which sounds like a cool perk.
