Summary

It was an eventful series in The Bronx this past weekend as Josh Donaldson was accused by Tim Anderson, Tony La Russa, and others of making a racist comment to Anderson. Donaldson maintains that he was referencing an interview in 2019 in which Anderson was quoted as saying, "I kind of feel like Jackie Robinson." Jared, Dallas, and Joey give their takes on the situation and speculate on whether this was a racist comment or an inside joke/jab at Anderson. They also talk about whether MLB will take any disciplinary action on Donaldson. Other topics include; Johnny Cueto allowing zero runs in two starts since his return, Justin Verlander dominating in almost every pitching statistic in the AL, the NL East and whether the Braves can get back in it, Manny Machado's hot start and Jared's disdain for Padres fans, Dallas getting Bob Geren fired, and the Red Sox having the best record in baseball since Alex Cora shaved his beard.
