The thing is its not a situation devoid of racism. Someone would have to be completely clueless to ignore that calling a black person "Jackie" that you're not particularly close with could easily be construed as racism. Why do we give Donaldson the benefit of the doubt that he's smart enough to reference a three year old article and is solely riffing on Tim wanting to make baseball exciting, etc., but that he's not cognizant of how that can be interpreted? That's not something he's earned based on past interactions with this team and this player.

It really doesn't matter what anyone besides those involved think, and only Donaldson knows the true intent. But he also lost the benefit of the doubt a while ago.

I think Jim over at SoxMachine summed it up best saying that it’s tough to believe Donaldson was trying to defuse any situation. At best, he’s an idiot asshole. At worst, he’s a racist idiot asshole.

It's a little inside joke that one side didn't find funny, as with most inside jokes, apparently

Will we be able to take Kendall to Toronto?

I see Yoan's number one comp on Baseball Reference is former Sox great Brett Lawrie

lol at that single

and it rests on a legend

my kingdom for a bat drop here

Would imagine Burr is right back as the 27th man tomorrow

Really nice play by Harrison.

It feels like we've allowed a ton of leadoff men on lately, and a lot of dumb walks to the bottom halves of lineups

Could always pinch hit Gavin here....

And I love AV but there's any number of reasons why it makes sense, even if they take care of Tim here.

If I'm them I pitch around TA to get to Andrew

DOUBLES MACHINE JOSH HARRISON

Zero faith in Harrison here.

Adam, just serve it into RCF
