LOL, Twitter is fire right now.

Yikes, as mentioned heard this countless times from black guys on the courts in brooklyn, no white guy or mexican or chinese guy (Sunset Park courts, very diverse) ever did much of anything except laugh or play on. It has zero affect because you know we aren't black. MLB is laughably out of touch with 2019.

lol, so something I heard on the baskeball courts in brooklyn almost every game between all races and that somehow never led to anything more than words. Good lord MLB is up there own ass and cant' get of their own way.

According to what I'm seeing on Twitter, Schwarber charged the umpire the other day screaming "fuck you, fuck you" and MLB did nothing. Glad to know that physical intimidation coupled with verbal threats is OK.

Anderson now trending worldwide on Twitter, hell this might be the most exciting thing that happens all year.

Problem with MLB is that they think protecting Joe West is more important to the sport than spotlighting talent and letting an emerging star show out.

Not sure the NFL and NBA could field a roster most games if the refs suspended black guys for dropping a N____a" once and awhile in the course of play.

Did he drop a soft "A" N-Word? Come on. Or maybe "cracker"? WTF man. Did he insult a Latin guy?

I'm not kidding when I say I've watched this video 20-30 times and I LMAO every fucking time when Thor drops the deadpan "I was trying to throw a fuckin' fastball" when it was 10 feet wide. It's just so perfect, everything about it.

ah thanks for that info, that would be a data point against it then. MLB needs more transparency here that's not even up for debate.

Yea, just speculation based on that 1) guys never get suspended for language and 2) if it was "language" then it was almost certainly more than the George Carlan magic words.

@Tony Some speculation that Timmy dropped an F bomb. The type that you can't say. If so, he can take the one game.

Manfred makes me pine for Bud, I'm not kidding. He is absolutely clueless. Making the independent leagues try out some of his hair brained ideas -- I thought that was dumb, this is even dumber.

So firing a baseball at a player is the same level of offense as some bad words. False equivalence is a helluva fucking thing.

FOR LANGUAGE? YOU GOTTA BE BLEEPIN' ME!

FUCK MLB! YOU GUYS ARE RUINING THE SPORT!

been a fun start for the Mariners, even losing 5 in a row just now they kept the HR streak alive and it's fun having the town talking about something other than Seahawks FA talk and draft this time of year. Weather has been pretty nice too, we haven't had more than one or two of those miserable, 45 degree damp April nights. It's either been 45-50 and clear, or 55-60 and overcast. That's certainly helped their hitting. Pisses me off a bit seeing Omar hitting the cover off the ball (where did this power come from...) but oh well, that trade has worked out for the Sox so far as well and will look better if they can get a B- type for Colome in summer.

Hey I hope he gets hotter'n'shit. I just don't think he has MLB ability at the moment. It's one thing to be effectively wild with great stuff. He's ineffectively wild with mediocre stuff. His fastball is straight as a board.

Oh god, that's no good either.

yea he's struggling and still has an OPS of 740. It's all relative.

Great stuff @raBBit

hell at this point he looks like a better option at 1B than Jose for 2020.

You could make an argument that the 60 days or whatever in 2015 when Fulmer was drafted and Tatis Jr was traded should preclude Hahn and his staff from ever working in MLB again. What an utter disaster, one of the worst processes imaginable went into those moves.

I mean it's fine but it's a constant reminder how shitty the central is and how with a few more good moves they probably could have contended this year. As for Fulmer, he's never going to amount to anything he has no idea where the ball is going and his stuff is mediocre at best for a reliever.
