I’m not disputing that Machado is a hot head - he is - but that fight in the first video is on Ventura. A lot of players would have charged the mound after a pitcher throws right at them on consecutive at bats, resulting in an eventual beaning on the second AB.

Machado’s reaction after the slide would lead me to believe it wasn’t intentional.

It’s clear as day it was unintentional but some Boston fans, predisposed to their persecution complex, seem to take one still frame and one bad weekend against Oakland as “proof” otherwise.

Absolutely, but if it wins you a playoff or WS game, I don’t care if you run the bases hurling babies at the fielders.

Uhhh those chants have been happening in Comerica for 2 years minimum, hence “Already.”

Unfortunately, the players are the only ones who can seemingly hear the fans. If management did, the crystal-clear “Fire Ausmus” chant in Comerica would have already been heeded.

I don’t really feel the need to argue for something that stadiums and teams continue to maintain that fans have the right to do.

1. Because I do.

2. Because they are working and are subject to their employers rules.

Any other brain busters?

Counterpoint:

Uggghhh...another fake “controversy” about to blow up.

Currently I wouldn’t. Retroactively, given everything we knew, absolutely. Play it out. What would the advantage of not nuking Japan during WWII been? Given that our prior bombing campaigns had comparable civilians death tolls and we would have had to subsequently invade the Japanese mainland amphibiously, I think it…

You really can’t come up with a reason why some countries are trusted with nukes and others are not? I hope your job does not involve any sort of critical thinking, because this one is a layup.

You aren’t great at debate.

Excellent rebuttal. You do realize that the alternative was just firebombing their cities into submission before a full scale invasion? Casualties from our other bombing campaigns of civilian centers were comparable. What is your argument against it?

Few people remember the day when Donald Trump ordered those nuclear bombs dropped on Japan.

Our nuking of Japan was perfectly sound. We have a president, not a dictator. This means there are checks and balances.

Because they are unstable and unstable countries with nuclear capabilities are not good for the world.

How does a dog pee on the tree right?

I disagree disrespectfully.

Classic Deadspin shitty fact checking.
