The one thing about the Josh Donaldson thing that I thought was weird is he never really defended himself in the way that seemed most obvious. The idea of some decent player who's been in the league 5-6 years (and only one All-Star nod in that time) and hardly any casual fan knows saying they're like the next Jackie Robinson is utterly ludicrous. That's insane hubris and is itself diminishing of Jackie Robinson's legacy. That totally is something to mock someone about, but he never really framed his explanation that way. If some dude came up and said he was going to be the next Babe Ruth and he obviously wasn't, he'd absolutely get mocked by other players I'm sure.

I found this weird also. Sadly, some Yankees and Boone also came out against Donaldson in the scenario.
Another sad mark for baseball, and sports in general. This whole society is just gay now.

Astros' Garcia, Maton throw immaculate innings against same hitters
What's better than one immaculate inning? Two, of course.The Houston Astros' pitching staff managed just that Wednesday, with starter Luis Garcia punching out three Texas Rangers batters on nine pitches in the second inning.Here's the amazing part, though. Right-handed reliever Phil Maton also...

I'm a White Sox and Tim Anderson fan, and even I feel it's very disrespectful and a mockery for anyone to call themselves "the next Jackie Robinson or the JR of this generation". Nobody will ever have to go through what JR did. The burden he carried can never be match in sports again... because he changed it.
Jackie should probably have a statue or a picture up at every MLB, NFL, and NBA stadium.

A case could be made that Tim Anderson could have been fined or suspended

I think I saw Corey Seager do that in the last year or two? Or maybe it was Harper? Same though, I think I've only ever seen that once or twice.

Man what an absolute disaster of a contract this is turning out to be. Halos should really think about trading everyone and just loading up on a ton of prospects. They make the absolute free agency signings/have terrible luck. Pujols, Rendon, Hamilton, Zack Cozart (was also a horrific deal).
