Adam Plutko, the Tribe's new 5th starter, through 6... but he's at 81 pitches, so probably only gets one more inning before he has to turn it over to the abomination that is the Cleveland bullpen.

Over. Lead-off double and an infield single… Plutko's night is over with the tying run 90 feet away. He really didn't dominate, but aside from walking the bases loaded in the 2nd inning he was cruising.

Wacha Wacha. If he has it going through the rest of this inning I hope they let him go with it instead of pulling him at 100 pitches.

His team is freezing him. Yeah, winning the game is important but 4 seems like a nice cushion.

For the second night in a row, a Cardinals pitcher will enter the 7th with a no-hitter against the putrid Reds.

Tonight, it’s Gomber shutting down the Reds.

This is today's social media climate. You fucked up any time in your life, social justice warriors will dig it up as soon as any attention is on you.

I dunno, as an 18 year old I also dont think it's too much to ask that you don't use slurs - especially in a public forum. It's not like these are tweets from him in 4th grade. Instead of blaming social justice warriors, maybe he just shouldn't have been an ass in the first place. He did the right thing by owning it and apologizing. Hopefully bringing attention to situations like this all over ESPN will be a wakeup call for people to, you know, not say this stuff.

Media training is something I think every MLB team provides to minor leagues as well as big leaguers in spring training and maybe throughout the year. I have no idea what exactly the training involves, but one would think if you have any remote chance of becoming a big leaguer, you should clean up your act. Anyone can search through someone's Twitter feed, whether it's a social justice warrior or a 9 year old impressionable fan of the game.

It's not like someone is breaking into the guy's house and finding racist scribblings in a notebook...it's stuff anyone can find. Anyone, you, me, someone famous, probably shouldn't tweet stuff we aren't willing to stand behind.

edit: Googling 'How to delete entire history of tweets' provides multiple options that delete an entire history of tweets within seconds. Why every aspiring MLBer hasn't done this already blows my mind.

Do none of these professional baseball players have agents? Hire a tech/background company to get all that shit off the internet, at least as much as possible. I find it unfathomable some of these are still just sitting out there on public, active accounts.

You act like it's difficult to not be a racist, homophobic ass.
It’s easy to forget he was a kid and we’re all (at least somewhat) a product of our environment. If you were as mature and aware at 18 as you consider yourself at whatever age you are now, then kudos. Not many are and people shouldn’t pay for it their entire life. If he posted it yesterday, sure. The point of the post you responded to wasn’t defending him, it was that in today’s age you don’t get to fuck up like that anymore.

he was a teenage kid and it was probably the cool thing at the time. then he probably forgot all about it.
I am curious why you immediately jump to making excuses for him. I am not saying you are wrong. It is an interesting inference especially in light of the fact that your immediate response was to decry the "social justice warriors" who really unfairly read something that was public.

I’m glad his bigot ass lost his little no hitter. Sorry not sorry. 18 years old there’s no freaking excuse to be racist or sexist or bigoted in any way. Leopard never changes its spots. He’s part of the problem. If he wants to be part of the solution then fine.

Here’s something. If you have any racist or homophobic thoughts don’t put them on Twitter. Just go back to your normal day and say you voted for 45. Same thing as being a racist/bigot regardless but still...just don’t put your misguided opinions on social media. Trea Turner is a POS 45 supporter too it seems.

This is terrible. People do change, no thanks to comments like this.
