Perhaps the mildly racist pun and your acceptance of it is your thing. I never called anyone racist, or implied that. I said I don't care for them and it's an opinion. Perhaps it is you who should not browse or interpret what others should or shouldn't do on the internet.

Again, if you think that is too taboo, for this forum, I don't know how you browse virtually anything on the internet.

Also I never told anyone what they could, couldn't, should, or shouldn't post on the internet. I merely made an observation that what was said was incredibly tame (comparatively) and that they were also light hearted attempts at humor. As the saying goes "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive."

And again you missed me saying it's not my thing. Not that I was offended or people shouldn't say it. People do what they want and I can't take racist shyt off the internet. It is what it is.
I come here for baseball and to give some minor league notes a few guys appreciate. That's it. I'll probably never meet the brave souls who are internet brave anyway. So this back and forth is useless. Do you.

I think we can all agree that this issue isn’t so black and white.
 
AJSS hung so many splitters yesterday. He was more lucky than good. Waiting for the command to click for him and he could take off. Where was the fastball velo? It’s so inconsistent with him.

Nope. Try again. I said specifically, he made the rules. The Braves Way to play..but didn't enforce it with Kelenic. Don't reach

Even more specifically:
"
When Bobby Cox pulled the great Andruw Jones out of a game for lackluster play and going for a ball that he didn’t catch, it was one of the most emasculating things I’ve seen on the baseball field, but absolutely necessary. Bobby Cox explained it. Andruw Jones accepted it and for the most part you never saw that from Jones as a Brave again.

Fast forward to Acuna and the problem wasn’t that he pulled Acuna because he absolutely should have. But it is absolutely a double standard not to take some kind of action against Kelenic. If not during the game, he should not have started the next game or you should’ve made a statement saying that it was unacceptable. None of that happened.

Like it or not, it comes off as disingenuous to say I didn't see it...or whatever Snit keeps saying. There is tension or resentment there. I'll refrain from the race thing....but....there's a tinge of bullsh... that ain't mathing up."

Actually, they went further disciplining Kelenic than they did Acuña. They fired his ass.

Prediction: Jarred Kelenic never takes another ML at bat in a Braves uniform.

I would take that bet. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We'll give him the Arcia treatment and keep him down in AAA until we "need" him.

That had nothing to do with the incident.

I think it was absolutely related to the incident. Kelenic has been bad, but keeping a LH bat on the bench would have been a reason to keep him in the Fairchild role had he not become toxic.

Yes, Fairchild plays good defense, but even JK is probably a better hitter.
