I gained a lot of respect for these guys sticking up for TA and shitting on Donaldson. It was really good to see. I think I'll start rooting for these guys now to go all the way.

Good group of guys. Understand what acceptable and not acceptable in society today.

This incident may have united them to turn this around and go on a big run now.

Sure, Donaldson was a jerk but I'm pretty sure that this won't make them play better baseball.

Tell ya what, you want the sox to play better ball how about a somewhat consistent lineup? That's probably more helpful.

Tim Anderson is a low character person. He compared himself to Jackie Robinson while bitching about Bandaids being too white. He's about as far away from the ideals of Jackie Robinson as it gets.

Did Jackie Robinson's mistress also take to Instagram with details about the affair he was having?

Jesus, it was 3 years ago. How long can you give the guy shit about it? It's not like he's been doubling down on his dumb statement.

Donaldson seems like the kind of guy who’ll needle somebody for decades if given an opening.

Talk about your black fragility. Poor Timmy cant handle getting his balls busted for a comment he himself made . Probably not a good idea idea to put yourself in the same sentence with baseball royalty and expect people to forget it, especially since hes about as far away from Jackie Robinson as you can get. How long ago did Theo make the Babe Schwarber comment ? Anyone around here let that go??

I dunno. Why don't you follow Theo around and mention it every fuckin' time you see him.

And to be fair, it was largely forgotten until this weekend when Anderson decided he didnt like getting his balls busted for his own comment and decided to play the race card to somehow wind up being the victim in this .

Did he though? I thought it was LaRussa.

Now now now let’s not let facts get in the way of the ax people need to grind

Not really a big deal. If Tim Anderson referred to himself as Jackie Robinson then he opened up the slot for someone else to do so later on.

Didn't Anderson just mean that he was one of the most prominent black players left in baseball with the comment?

But, a white guy shouldn't be offended by the comment and shouldn't be using it to mock him for it.

No.



Tim Anderson can mock and taunt whoever he wants. He's changing the game.

No Rick . He meant it as in “ I’m like Robinson in that I’m bringing fun back into the game via bat flips “ . A real pioneer . Which is pretty much just like what Jackie Robinson did . He deserves to be mocked for that ridiculous comparison the rest of his career . Donaldson wasn’t offended by it . He was rightly making fun of Anderson and getting under his skin about it. Like players in all sports have done for decades to their opponents .

Donaldson is still thinking about a comment from 2019 that had nothing to do with him. It's just a bizarre thing for Donaldson to be worked up about. Who cares?

But it’s not at all bizarre for Anderson Grandal and LaRussa to be worked up about it. Who cares ? What’s the statute of limitations on using something that your opponent said against him Rick?

You said he wasn't offended by it but he's referencing it three years later to the players face.

It clearly left an impression on Donaldson for some reason.

This would have been 1000x cooler if Donaldson called Anderson “Dinger”.

Also, Donaldson = Donald’s Son aka Donald Trump’s son. We’re through the looking glass here people.

With all of the whining which goes on here regarding the bumping of old posts, its probably not the best place to ask this particular question.

Yeah that it was an incredibly stupid comment and he knew that mocking him for it bothered him. Look at the mental gymnastics you are doing to try and paint Donaldson as the bad guy in this. Do you understand how trash talk works ? Bird , Jordan would be having a field day with this .

That Donaldson is real creative in his trash talk. Same fucking shit, over and over and over. He's a lunkhead.

It can’t possibly be that this whole incident is stupid as shit. Someone HAS to be a victim in all this. I choose to sympathize with baseball’s biggest red-ass.

It started in the series in Chicago at 3rd base.

It’s plausible the fans are the biggest victim.

Just one fan though. Not sure who yet.

_________________

Yes, because it was incredible narcissistic for Anderson to compare himself to Jackie Robinson. Donaldson was mocking him for thinking he was Jackie, not because he was a racist.

People remember stupid comments from years past. Just look at this board for proof.

"Waves of talent"
"2005", "2016"
"The next Babe Ruth"
"Be You"

So what is the reason why he is using it to get at Anderson? Why do you think it would bother Anderson for him to say it?

But why is the Jackie Robinson comparison worth mocking? Why did that trigger Donaldson to the point where he was using it against him?
