See the usage note about ''gypsy . Verb (gypp) (pejorative, sometimes, offensive) To cheat or swindle someone of something inappropriately. The cab driver gypped me out of ten bucks by taking the longer route. You better watch out; they'll try to gyp you if you don't know what you're doing. Usage notes See the notes about the noun, above. See also * jew down * welsh

In fact, a quick search reveals it has been allowed to fester on this site since 2003. So can’t be considered to be a recent oversight. Ongoing pattern. For shame. I didn’t realize this place was operated and patronized by racists

What if I told you in the last couple hours, actual academically certifiable racist terminology (not mere inferred implication) has been posted on this board, left unmoderated, and apparently found acceptable by members who both quoted and repeated said terminology, thereby perpetuating racist stereotypes? Will you publicly call for the denouncement of Soxtalk and the firing of the perpetrators I wonder? Surely what is good for the goose is good for the gander

‘Meh’ would have been a massive upgrade from Shields

So I go to Japan speaking little Japanese I should expect to be described as speaking Japanese well? If they said I didn’t speak much I would consider that accurate rather than expect a national outrage to develop

Wow. What a monster.

I like how how you set me up for that rant with your innocuous question though. That must mean you’re a good guy since you can identify bad guys so easily

It’s difficult to suss out when each of the half dozen articles I’ve read indicate that he made numerous bigoted comments but the only one anyone has actually quoted is the comment about the translator. So I ask what did I miss you still haven’t told me

Something more than complaining about paying for a translator for a guy who didn’t need one in the first place. Language isn’t a race anyway. Pretty sure there are people of every race who do and don’t speak English

Moncada 2019 WAR: 4.8 Jose Ramirez: 3.6 Doesnt seem that far off to me.

So they have an rule agreed upon through the deliberation of collective bargaining that governs service time, but a guy admitting to operating according to that rule like everybody else does “can’t be done.” Sounds slightly Orwellian

What? You’re saying those posts don’t exist??

Maybe but headlines say he resigned over bigoted comments. The only one I’ve found actually quoted is the one about paying for the translator.

I don’t get that either. Wasn’t there just a Krist Bryant case in which they ruled the Cubs acted within terms of CBA agreement? Service time manipulation is built into system and has been for decades. He described standard operating procedure of mlb teams that has been upheld repeatedly over the years

Come on. You’re acting like there haven’t been hundreds if not thousands of frothing at the mouth anti La Russa posts in which one of the primary arguments is he is going to tear the clubhouse apart because he’s incapable of getting along with black players, the primary support for which was that Ron Gant didn’t like him thirty years ago.

Am I missing something here? This guy resigned because he complained about paying for an interpreter for a guy who can speak English? Is there something else to it?

Yeah, management doesn’t generally stand up against management anywhere, in my experience

It’s not a loan because players don’t have to pay any back. The company is straight up buying future earning percentage for a one time payment. Not much different from a songwriter selling off royalties. A loan has to be repaid

TV is mlb’s primary form of merchandise though. Better cancel your cable subscription

Well it is a major league job. Kind of goes without saying

Yeah but who gives a shit

Humans are capable of saying things that aren’t true. Who knew?

Not a believer in due process, eh?
