He has to know better, but I just don't see it as anything to be upset about.

We are sensitive to certain observations. Again, very stupid of him to say this, especially publicly.

It is an advantage? Since when is pointing out facts racist? I’m sick of this stuff. It’s not an insult.

Not as much as the extra muscles in his legs.

My thought also, should’ve kept that insight to himself. Some things you just can’t say.

So sad. He said the ball blended with his skin AND jersey. No ill intent.
He’s in San Fran. I’m not surprised by the suspension!

I guess I don’t really get it. He has dark skin. It’s a stupid statement, but is it a negative statement?

MLB Pitchers are not allowed to wear white or grey gloves because it’s too close to the color of the ball. I wonder if that can be talked about on air?

I'm all for people growing thicker skin and quit being so got damned sensitive but this is crossing that line.

You can't say that shite. I'm ok if he is fired unlike many of these we come across.

So, what you are really saying is white pitchers have an advantage cause the ball blends in with their skin.
