Yu Chang calls out anti-Asian racist social media messages after error in Cleveland Indians' loss
Cleveland Indians infielder Yu Chang shared on Twitter that he received racist social media messages after his decisive throwing error in Cleveland's loss Monday to the White Sox.
"Exercise your freedom of speech in a right way, I accept all comments, positive or negative but DEFINITELY NOT RACIST ONES," Chang, a native of Taiwan, tweeted early Tuesday morning. "Thank you all and love you all. #StopAsianHate."
Chang's tweet included a screenshot of anti-Asian racist social media messages he purportedly received from three different users. Two of the accounts no longer existed as of Tuesday morning, and the third is private.
Indians manager Terry Francona texted with Chang earlier in the day, and then met with him along with the player's interpreter before Tuesday's game at Guaranteed Rate Field.
"First, I wanted to make sure he was OK and that he understands the lunacy or the idiocy that was said is not shared by hopefully very many people, certainly not in the Indians' organization," Francona said. "Truth be told, man, it's really simple: errors are part of the game.
"But ignorance and racism, they shouldn't be anywhere. Those comment that have nothing to do with baseball. It's just an excuse for somebody to be stupid and ignorant. That's really what it is.''
Chang, 25, has primarily played shortstop and third base throughout his career and had never played first base before this season.
"He's an extremely mature young man and he's fine,'' Francona said of Chang, who was not in the lineup for Tuesday's game. "I can promise you we will never make a lineup out from somebody's tweet the night before."
According to a recent report from the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism, hate crimes against Asian Americans have risen nearly 150% in major U.S. cities over the past year.
The #StopAsianHate movement gained national attention last month after a white man killed eight people -- including six people of Asian descent -- in a series of shootings at Atlanta-area spas.

We need the media to promote more positive stuff like this.
Damn Acuna Jr got hurt sliding into home plate.
Sometimes it takes pitchers a bit to get it together. I don't believe pitching will be a long term issue for you guys at all.

Revisiting Texans lineman D.J. Reader’s brief Clemson baseball career
By Aaron Reiss Jul 26, 2019 3
D.J. Reader navigates tightly packed lines of scrimmage as an interior defensive lineman, but the crowd he found himself in one winter day as a freshman at Clemson felt wholly different.
He stood in the dugout of the school’s baseball stadium, not down the road at Clemson’s famed football palace known as Death Valley. And the 20 or so reporters surrounding Reader before this preseason practice didn’t ask whether he would beat South Carolina that year. They inquired about his power hitting and the size-15 cleats he would wear as a 335-pound member of Clemson’s baseball team.
“I don’t know why they want to talk to me,” Reader told his new teammates when the interview session ended and he walked onto the diamond.
Everyone else did.
The game is becoming unwatchable with all these strikeouts. Everybody trying to hit home runs. Nobody putting the ball in play. Analytics are ruining this game. Exit velocity and launch angles are having muthafuckas swingin' at ridiculous pitches out of the zone.

Makes for less an less action on the field with hardly anyone just trying to get on base. I'll still probably show up at a few games this season. I applaud MLB's stance on voting rights.The game is becoming unwatchable with all these strikeouts.
Yeah. I'll wait till next year to go back hopefully when the ballparks are full again. Just these strikeouts are a pain.
