i'm kind of proud of him. i hope he never walks again!
i don't think he deserves to be a first-ballot hall of famer but i think he will come close and will quite possibly get it anyway. i've enjoyed watching him sweat his ass off for the last 18 or so years

If he gets in and the VC hasn't yet put Munson in, I will complain.

Per the Elias Sports Bureau, a no-hitter needs to be at least nine innings in order to be official.

right ... i don't really get the baseball scoring logic of that not counting as a hit - he hit the ball and ended up on first without an error. i guess the idea is he probably would have been out if he had been the only runner.

i attributed maldonado's presence a few weeks ago to small sample size, but he has REALLY lost a step. last year he was running 23.5 ft/s, which is still very slow for a baseball player, but muuuuuch faster than he's running now. is he injured?

What sucks even more is Donaldson saying he did it to him starting last year, and didn’t understand why it was a big deal now. After Anderson had even let it slide the first time he did it in the game yesterday. Everyone know someone like a Josh Donaldson. Fuck him is right. How many Jackie Robinson tributes has he seen in his life?
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Sunday, 22 May 2022 13:46 (two years ago) link
I realize Donaldson can be an asshole - but if Anderson was comparing himself to Robinson, it kind of opens himself up to some ribbing.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 22 May 2022 16:44 (two years ago) link
there's a lot to say on that, but in short, i completely disagree. and regardless, there is no way that the pattern of behavior going back to last year, with Anderson alone (who knows how many other players he is doing this to) is "some ribbing"
― Bruce Stingbean (Karl Malone), Sunday, 22 May 2022 16:54 (two years ago) link
it's not something that requires banning or disciplinary action, that sounds like it would be a complete mess. but Donaldson should stfu for the rest of his life
Yeah, gentle ribbing does not lead to on field brawls. Donaldson should know better. It’s not like I need another reason to dislike the Yankees.

sorry to parachute into the thread like this, but i was curious *why* Anderson brought up Jackie in that old interview and now having read it, *that* - that he said that - is the dumbest part of all of this!
i thought at least maybe he was the only out player or something. he's the Jackie Robinson of *bringing fun back to the game*?!
― alpine static, Monday, 23 May 2022 07:20 (two years ago) link
Without bringing Robinson's name into it, if Anderson really sees himself as a pioneer of "fun" as that 2019 article suggests, then he's opening himself to ridicule. But it wouldn't surprise me if the name calling had gotten out of hand since then, not at all. To be on the safe side, it would be best for all the players involved in this to STFU from now on.

He said he’d brought it up before, which is why he was caught off guard by the reaction.
