What was the alleged offense?

Nothing..just a comment that was made without any kind of preemptive reason to do so.

I was at the game, visiting with @justDin the upper deck directly behind home plate and we had a great view of that play.  I was stunned when I realized Mateo wasn’t stopping at 3B.  The relay play wasn’t crisp and Mateo’s speed forced the issue.  And lest we forget, Mateo was only on 1B because EdRod panicked on his swinging bunt because of his speed.  Speed kills!

His speed really is amazing. 

Wonder how he compares with a guy like Tyreek Hill?

I can’t wait until we as a people don’t get offended by every little thing. I can only imagine what a guy that seems to be a really likeable, nice, Hispanic(every Latin American friend I have LOVES to be called Latinx) with a skin color that would be deemed black could have done to be racist.

FYI, that was Shreve who panicked on the Mateo swinging bunt.

Thanks.  I was surprised it was scored a hit.  He had time to make that play, he just blew it IMO.

No.  Someone on twitter says OH wants Mateo traded because OH is racist. Let’s just move on.  It’s a guy on Twitter, who cares.

At first I thought he was hobbling home.  On replay realized he was on first and simply just started to run out of gas a little.

I mentioned this in the game thread but I learned today that the Hangout wants Mateo replaced because of racism.  Who knew?

Have they read the Frazier threads???

Definitely a play that should have been made, but Mateo happens.

Call one of my DR, PR, Nica, Guate, or El Salvadorean buds “LatinX” and be prepared to take a quick jab to nose.

I don't know anyone that wishes the term be used for them.
