Chicago White Sox

Moncada is an absolute stud.

You’re ignoring all context and confusing “words” for “hatred”.

It’s not really that hard, if you’re not black don’t use the n word. Context does matter and a black person using that word is not suggesting something racist or hateful. The mean-spirited words Tim used were “weak ass” and those are incredibly tame relative to what other baseball players & coaches say to or in front of umpires on a regular basis. Should Tim have been ejected and then suspended if he called Keller a “weak ass dude”, because that is the equivalent of what he said. Again, you have to be completely out of touch with modern society or just straight up racist (not calling you either of these things BTW) to not get this and clearly MLB & Joe West fall into one of those two buckets.

A straight man calling another straight man a cock sucker (even if they don’t mean it in that context) is far more inherently hateful than a black man calling a white person the n word. Again, just shows how out of touch MLB really is.

No offense, but the n word (this version) is used all the time in African American communities and while originating from a racial slur this version is not used in a racial or hateful way. I know a lot of white people don’t understand that, but it’s really not their place to make a call on what cultural norms are acceptable.

Let’s be clear here, there are two versions of the n word and the one Tim used is not really considered to be racist or hateful (at least when used by African Americans). Like, Look at Ray Ray Run calling everyone “pal” is far more inherently aggressive. The MLB is just completely out-of-touch to suspend him over this. There is literally nothing racist about this in the context it was used.

@raBBit bringing awesome insights as usual!

Lol...it’s been like 16 games (talk about a SSS) and his WARP is being driven by some good luck with the bat. Glad you’re finally using the right metric to evaluate catchers, but let’s see where he’s at by season’s end. I’d wager a lot of money he’s not in the top 15 in WARP for catchers even after this big start.

Come on man, let’s not panic over Narvaez, his offensive numbers are incredibly lucky / flukey based on the Statcast info.

Replace Cordell with Basabe (or LuGo / Adolfo) and that could work. Collins is still a big question mark at catcher and wouldn’t be surprised if they added both Martinez & Grandal next offseason.

What would that do? I don’t see going overslot later in the draft being a viable strategy in the later rounds when the Diamondbacks have seven top 80 selections.

Apologies, alcohol and poor reading comprehension are a dangerous combo.

You have doubts Madrigal will make the majors? Surely you can’t be serious.

Time to tie this Timmy!!

Swings at ball four...fucking A Jose.

A leadoff walk would be nice here Jose!

Oh boy.

He’s going to walk the go ahead run in isn’t he?

lol...that’s one way to put it!

Glad to see all that Driveline worked out!

Harrison broke a finger or two there.

Not good.

Carson Fulmer in a tie game...

Fuck...chases a slider that would have been ball 4 after laying off it the previous pitch.

Moncada slam please!!!
