I actually agree with you for once. I mean, the dude starts hitting and we’re focusing on his Home Run gesture? Who cares?

Memorial Day is to honor the war dead, camo seems a little tacky to that end. Wear a flag on your uniform, have an honor guard etc. is the way to honor war dead, not pretending to be soldiers.

This is a non-issue. I’m sure Maddon will resolve it to his satisfaction or he’ll let it go until Escobar gets some chin music from opposing pitchers.

Attendance was actually 30k. I’m a Jays fan, didn’t think it was a big deal. Hardly “offensive”.

I think it’s one of those things that the “real” baseball people get upset over. Me, I just want to be entertained. Given how boring baseball is, I’m fine with anything that livens it up a bit, as long as it doesn’t cross the line, which I really don’t see that this did.

Speaking of crossing the line, given his actions just prior to being shipped out of Toronto, I also have no problem with the Jays’ fans booing him. Well deserved.

I completely agree. I love the energy and fun that Yunel brings to the Rays. I love the little twirl he does when he throws the ball. He just looks like he’s really having a good time playing baseball. So many of the Rays look like they’re dragging themselves through the games.

As for giving the safe sign as he crossed home plate, I honestly don’t understand what is the big deal. I’ve seen so, so much worse from other players and it’s not even brought up. I also believe that I’ve seen Molina give that same safe sign as he crossed home plate.
