Holmes is completely filthy once again. Superb job by Booney with the pen. Big time clutch granny from DJ And the Chisox can go to sleep tonight knowing that once again we own them.
and I marvel at how good Hicks has been for us. Plays the game the right way as evidence by his selfless sacrifice bunt that moved up the runner who scored in the 6th. Damn shame that people in here only care about home runs because this man is a great catalyst
Yapping from a distance when nobody is between him and Donaldson and then going nuts when the field is littered with guys and he cant get close to donaldson. Fake tough guy.
That diat up at the plate with Grandal, Anderson came trotting in and then danced the whole group. He would have had zero problem getting to JD if he really wanted to.
RE: Well according to LaRussa and Anderson, Donaldson said something racis
Tim Anderson just said that he called him Jackie Robinson....which doesnt make sense.
My problem with all of these "racist comment" accusations (like Myles Garret and Mason Rudolph) is they never really say what he said that was so inciting. I would think TA would tell LaRussa and the media exactly what he called him so as to make JD the villain.
But no after all of it, no details except for Anderson mumbling that he called him Jackie Robinson and "I dont play like that."
How bout just say you dont like the guy and you're sick of losing to his team.

Racism has no place anywhere,but I completely agree with you. Anderson has no problem shooting his mouth off all over the field, but when he's asked directly multiple times what Donaldson exactly said he mumbles Jackie Robinson and gets all evasive. And LaRussa gets all mad and clams up. You know what I take out of that, neither has huge conviction in what Anderson is saying. Now Donaldson has give a clear interview and took 2 minutes and answered the question clearly. It's hard to summerize it. However it doesn't sound racist. I guess Anderson in an interview a few years back said he was the new Jackie Robinson and bringing fun back to the game. Since then Donaldson has called him Jackie. Doesn't sound racist. Sounds like when he was on the Braves it was a team joke. Seems like Donaldson thought it was a joke they have, but it seems like the Sox don't think of it as a joke.

Curry pulled up the articcle from SI. I also looked at a few articles and Anderson totally embraced the JR reference. Also something about being allowed to wear 42....it sounds like JD was busting his balls and Anderson doesnt like losing to the guy.
I totally bought JD's explanation. As long as he knocks it off going forward.
Grandal also said a lot of nothing except tough nuts stuff. Bite Jasmine.
But cmon - Tim Anderson is an asshole himself, made a stupid comment comparing himself to Jackie Robinson, and so Donaldson is breaking his balls about it. BFD. The White Sox are an awfully mouthy bunch for such a mediocre team.

Sounds bitter that his team, favored to win that division, is sub .500 and Donalson is always there. Players are assholes, but to accuse somebody of racism is a cheap shot. That could be a career ender.
And can be a real Dbag. However one thing I'll give him whether it's Giolito and Cole with the sticky stuff or this, when you ask him about it he doesn't mix words. He clearly states what went on and his viewpoint. Clearly Anderson doesn't take it is a joke, so it's not cool to keep casually doing it

Kind of brought it on himself. He attached himself to the man who broke the color barrier over 70 years before he made the statement. Anderson went all in on the moment and is using JD busting his balls as a claim to racism which is extremely reckless.

I think Greg summed up the situation here.
Agreed. Donaldson is a dick but this was straight shit talking not racist
then the Sox and any media calling it racist are being irresponsible. That's bullshit. Anderson may not like it or think it's funny. Donaldson may have thought it was an inside joke or maybe he's just a douche. But, if his story is the truth, and since he's the only one who actually provided any details about what happened there is no reason not to believe him, then what they have said is slanderous.

Exactly. More people should be held accountable for this shit...because it can follow you your whole life. "Boo hoo, I lost 4 out of 5 so far to the Yankees and they have scored 40 runs on us this year and I dont like him....I'll try and destroy his reputation."
Thats probably why he didnt put and out say it was a racist comment. He probably knows what could happen if he went on record. Somebody needs a smack when it comes to this shit.

They must’ve been serving some really stiff drinks at the bar because Hicks has been absolutely terrible this year. Not only hasn’t he hit a lick but his D has been really down this year as well.
It seems to me he’s taking his horrible offensive showing out onto the field with him and l think that showing is in his head and causing him to not be as focused in the OF as he needs to be.

that Anderson is playing the butt hurt punk here. Donaldson has gotten under his skin and the Yanks beating the White Socks daily, what used to be a joke is being used as and excuse.
MLB is investigating? Yes Donaldson always seemed to be a DB when he played for the Jays, but he has given the press his entire side of the story. What have the Sox and Anderson done - accuse? LaRussa should know better. Letting Anderson drum this up and get teammates involved is escalating what is nothing more than ball busting at worst. Seems, according to Donaldson, not even to have been a problem before. This all leads back to Donaldson falling on Anderson and pushing him off 3rd last week. Anderson tried to start a fight over it then and is continuing his bad behavior now.
Yeah, you can bet the boo birds will be serenading him today.
in my book. I mean Tim Anderson playing the martyr, that's rich coming from him. Yep, Donaldson is no angel, not a secret in baseball. Then I see 80 yr. old Tony LaRussa running out of the dugout, like he was going to do something. Stay in the dugout old man, before someone pops you.
Lets move on to the doubleheader today, shall we.
Donaldson should have been suspended for pushing Anderson
off third base when the two teams played in Chicago. Unsportsmanlike conduct is against ML rules and the penalty is suspension. As for calling Anderson "Jackie", I see nothing wrong here and certainly nothing racist. Donaldson likes to needle the opposition and it was silly for Anderson to compare himself to Jackie Robinson who changed baseball by enduring a career of death threats and hatred from fans in every city and players on every team. Robinson changed baseball in a way no player ever has, including Ruth who popularized the home run. Anderson's performance in no way is comparable to what Jackie Robinson did.
Anderson pushed Donaldson, after Donaldson leaned on him too much after the tag. The push wasn't that big a push either,
there would be no suspension for that. Now if they threw punches, that changes the equation. That would obviously draw a suspension.

Meh, when Donaldson lost his balance, he pushed Anderson off the bag - it was pretty clear. Anderson did push back. Should have ended there, but that the White Sox would come off the bench was pathetic since the "incident" was pretty benign - but which Anderson played up.
We all know Donaldson is a nudge, but it appears Anderson is a cry baby pu$$y.
I'm ultra sensitive about racial language, and I'm struggling to understand how that's racist.
Donaldson is an absolute dick, and it pains me he's a Yankee. If he got punched in the face I wouldn't blink.
Andersen made an awkward connection between himself and Robinson. It's probably a topic and connection both players should just leave alone.
Andersen having fun playing baseball (the self-described reason he's like Robinson) doesn't belong in the same universe of Robinson. And Donaldson just should be smart enough to not use a civil rights icon's name as an insult no matter the context.

I dont think it should be taken as Tim referring to himself to a civil rights leader as much as a historical icon and people making fun of him for it. I would expect to get my balls busted too if I revived my business and started comparing myself to Lee Iacocca.
People need to relax across the board and playing the race card is about as dangerous and lame as it gets.
Especially early on, I wouldn’t be digging in too hard at the plate.
Probably a good time to stay loose and expect the pitch to go ANYWHERE!!!
Against Cueto? Psssssht, the Yankees have some BEEF on the team. Dig in, take your lump and move on. Even though there was no warnings issued, I doubt the umps let the Sox get away with anything early.

Anderson is a cry baby pussy and whole ‘racism’ angle he’s having his team lean into is bullshit. In 2019, Anderson was quoted in a SI article saying,
“I kind of feel like today’s Jackie Robinson. That’s huge to say, but it’s cool, man, because he changed the game, and I feel like I’m getting to a point to where I need to change the game.”
So, calling him Jackie to reference one of the best players in the history of the game is now racist? What?
What’s even funnier is, in that same article, he admits to saying to Brad Keller,
“I called him a weak-ass f------ n-----,” he says. “That’s what I said.”
Yeah this has to go back to when Donaldson was in Minnesota. There's no way this is all over that one stupid play at 3rd past weekend.

Yeah. Definitely has a Cole vs Donaldson division rivalry vibe to it.
Mixing in an 87 mph change that has similar action....Loasiga is just amazing when he is on.
