Some of y'all are hilarious though.

And what are you talking about, people are outraged

It’s the first story on ESPN.com

Surely this part has nothing to do with anything else you've said.

I come on Blowout and troll a lot. I say some ridiculous things, but you sure just made everything I’ve ever said sound like it came from Einstein.

MLB players have turned into wussies. In the old days if a player got hit, he would dust himself off & run to 1st, or if he was a badass, he would charge the mound. Acuna needs to toughen up a little. Players who showboat are more likely to get hit.

You using the example of 'when your mom drives you and your friends to the mall'

THIS explains a lot of your comments being made

It’s funny cause he took a shot about your mom driving you to the mall.

I see what you did there

You really have to be a scumbag to have a celebratory tone when ANY player gets hurt.

awz50 · 08-15-2018, 08:26 PM

He is not black jesus christ.

Stop calling him black

Marlins organization is embarrassed. I checked their team Twitter twice and no mention of the bench clearing and HBP.

No one updates twitter for them. It was Jeff conines (sp) job.

Hitting two home runs the previous night is now showboating?

The Braves twitter posted a video of Gausman getting a groundout as an example of challenging a hitter the right way.

There are not that many Black MLB players in comparison to White and Latin Americans.
