Being in North Dakota, everyone is a Twins fan and all the sports talk radio is Minneapolis based so there’s a ton of Twins talk. Fans and local analysts have just been brutal to Donaldson about his dirt kicking episode.

Didn’t the twins lose that game. Maybe he should get heat for being a freaking idiot and getting kicked out of a close game. Sure it is funny but it was extremely stupid and did nothing to help his team. Selfish bullsht really.
Meh. Umpire was an asshole that day and thought the game was about him.

They are all like that. Doesn’t change the fact that doing something that will clearly get you kicked out was stupid.
Asking a question can get you kicked out of a game these days. Was it dumb? Sure. But the umps are out of control and generally bad right now.

Probably means we won’t see him until 2022

Won’t argue that. They are. And josh probably got mad about something home plate ump said when he turned on strike two. But kicking dirt is going to get you tossed from every ump every time. That was dumb.

Maybe, but he's still the ump.
and? his job is to make judgements on the field. not get butthurt when he's called out for making a mistake.
Just as it's the player's job to play the game, not get butthurt because he doesn't get to officiate it too.
He did play the game.

I was curious. Have they determined the draft order for 2021? Is it going to be based on a 60 game finish?

Good question. There was a thread a while back about changes that may be in the offing for major league baseball and one I would suggest would be having the draft order determined on some kind of rolling average where W/L over a number of seasons would govern placement as opposed to results from a single season.

I am about 33.8% certain they are going to use the order of finish.

That would mean the world champion Nats get a the 4th pick after 60 games played - just about where they were 60 games in in 2019.
