Something is off about the whole club this season, and I think TA's attitude is a manifestation of that.

Well yeah when your "leader" is an enormous douche bag loser that will probably lead to a shite clubhouse.

Tim Anderson says Josh Donaldson made a "disrespectful comment" referring to him as "Jackie [Robinson]" and agreed with manager Tony La Russa that it was racist.

Nice try gyno.

"He made a racist comment, Donaldson, and that's all I'm going to say. That's as strong as it gets," La Russa said.

Asked if he agreed with La Russa, Anderson said, "Same. Same. Along that same line."

Last year Lucas Giolito told reporters he wished Donaldson would come say it to his face, referring to some postgame comment. JD hawked him down in the parking lot. Donaldson is my favorite player in baseball that’s not on the Braves.

There have been no issues with TA as a teammate before. And Abreu is the unquestioned leader.

He said “ along that same line.” He called it disrespectful.

Probably a lot of other douches in that Chicago clubhouse then.

So saying or doing something disrespectful is along the same line as saying or doing something racist???

Or you just can’t accept agreeing with La Russa’s take that it was racist is Anderson on record with a reporter agreeing he also thought it was “ Same. Same. Along that same line” as being racist.

Your argument sounds as weak as Anderson.

He seemed like he could become one of the new bigger faces of base all because has the right amount of swagger, but also seemed to have a good attitude on the field. But this hollow bullshite trying railroad Donaldson because he didn't like getting called out for his bullshite hubris, frick him. Makes me like Donaldson a lot more though.

He calls himself Jackie Robinson (which is comical because he was not on Jackie’s level) and it’s fine. Players joke with him about him calling himself Jackie and it’s “racist”? What is racist about being called Jackie? Jackie’s an absolute legend. If he was taking it literal, which he likely was not and is just looking for an excuse to rationalize his behavior, then he should have been honored.

No, just LaRussa. It's a lot of the same core from the 2019 team that I already said was more fun.

Remember Tim Anderson was suspended 1 game for calling Kansas City's Brad Keller (who is white) a "pussy arse n-word"

He's fiery and you absolutely love that guy when he's on your team. He was great for us in 2019 too. Wish we could have kept him but glad we didn't match that absurd money Minnesota gave him.

Also, he's tough as nails.

They are probably on the phone with Tom Rinaldi right now. Donaldson is in the NY market and his fans will totally love him for this. But his own media guys will take shots at him.

Yes along the same line as what La Russa said, racist
If he didn’t think it was and thought what La Russa said wasn’t right he would have said “no it wasn’t racist”
