Wasn’t waiting for the ball to land before throwing the next pitch.

He'll definitely carry plenty of distraction from last night.

I watched the game at a bar with no sound, so I missed out on the whole tweeting calamity. I didn't even know about it until I googled his name to look up his pre allstar stats. relievers have fragile psyches. that dude is effed in the second half

I just read the Tweets. OK, they are obviously cringeworthy and bad, but it sounds to me like he was trying to be an edgy teenager (17 I think when they were tweeted). I doubt he holds real racist feelings, but I've never liked him so lesson learned for him I guess. That said, my God social media is the nightmare that keeps on giving.

Antonio Bastardo, a free agent, has been suspended for 130 games for testing positive for anabolic steroids. :shock:

130 for a second offensive is a long time.

Gary Sanchez probably cost the Yankees a tie ballgame last night because he was lazy:

This isn't MLB, but I think we've found a far worse call than Jerry Meals.

Blue Jays promoted future Hall of Famer Vlad Guerrero Jr. to AAA. 19 years old, 234 PAs in AA, 401/448/671/1120, with 14 HRs, 60 RBI, 36% XBH, 21 BBs, and only 27 Ks.

Looks like another MLB'er got caught with bad tweets during a no-hitter.

Saw that. The Braves had to reopen the clubhouse after a game so he could issue an apology.

I think it's time for these PR people to sit down with these players and have them delete every Tweet or post prior to turning pro. It's not that difficult. Or not to be ignorant dadholes on social media in the first place would be even easier.

I picked it up in college in the early 2000's that calling people f*gs is taboo. I know when I was in high school it was definitely a favored insult, I assume that high schools meatheads were a bit behind the ball for digesting why they should stop calling people that, so raking these guys over the coals is a little excessive. But, what the hell are the PR/marketing people doing? You would think they would have these public social media posts scrubbed clean.

When Josh Allen got "in trouble" for bad looking tweets from high school right before the NFL draft, he actually came out and said something like "my agent and my team thought that we went back and double checked social media and all that sorts of stuff, and it was surprising that someone found those"

either way, I don't see how the world is benefitting from these tweets getting exposed.

I hope everyone just deletes their **** Twitter accounts and social media dies a overdue death.
