Monte1076 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Bending the knee and kowtowing is never enough for the "woke left". Off to "re-education" for him, too, apparently. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/blue-jays-pitcher-who-apologized-for-sharing-christian-video-removed-from-roster/ar-AA1clRju?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=4f7be87ec76e40fe8ce487aa14c1a2ab&ei=39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the media attention didn’t help his case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was between him and someone else who had similar stats. The one getting cut is the one causing trouble in the organization.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyLife Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I doubt he would have gotten cut if he was a young "slam the door" closer. Of course, these days you can never be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBizzle Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 He should just be like Kapernick and say they cut him because of his stance and not because of his crappy play. Then he could get a lot of endorsements and never need to play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtlobos Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 This guy is a jerk. He also threw a fit because his kids made a mess on a plane and his wife was asked to clean it up. Regardless of religious beliefs, you shouldn't act that way. He was stinking it up on the mound, deserved to be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
