It's not hard to do a simple google search and find things on your own, Ernest.Here’s a tweet from Brandon Phillips after tonight’s game:“#RealTalk… Not really surprised by what I heard come outta another player’s mouth tonite but DAMN… Still PISSED bout that $h¡+!! #Racism”
Phillips was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning. Phillips tossed the ball back toward pitcher Jared Hughes. Hughes shouted something at Phillips. Phillips headed to first. The umpires quickly intervened.
Once play resumed, Hughes threw over to first, even though Phillips was basically standing at the bag. Phillips and Andrew McCutchen had some words after the inning.
I did not see Phillips after the game. I spent very little time in the clubhouse because of deadline.
“I was not expecting the ball to come back towards me,” Hughes said told Pittsburgh writers. “Usually the ball goes to the bat boy after someone gets hit. I was kind of startled, and it upset me.”
“That’s kind of Brandon being Brandon, isn’t it?” Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle. “We’ve got no problem with that.”
Obviously, Phillips’ accusation in the tweet was a strong one. I’m sure it will come up tomorrow.

Yeah, sure can. But that still doesn't tell the whole story. That's a pretty vague description.SportsAndLady;1267520 wrote:Can you read?

That can be said for damn near EVERYTHING on this forum, therefore, it's a lame response.SportsAndLady;1267526 wrote:It's not hard to do a simple google search and find things on your own, Ernest.
Edit: Also, what you quoted still doesn't show anything racist being said.

Very unimpressive win. Offense really needs to wake the hell up. Not worried yet but another week of this and I think we have to start getting a little nervous.

My guess is that Hughes made a racist remark to Phillips after he tossed the ball back. I bet whatever was said will come out today. It looked like Phillips was letting McCutchen know that Hughes was a racist POS as McCutchen was running back to the dugout at the end of the inning. Phillips kept telling the ump that McCutchen was his boy but was going off about something else.

I highly doubt he'd scream racism if it wasn't legit. I don't think that's a bitch move, but whatever.Heretic;1267635 wrote:Or Phillips is a bitch.

If anyone is a bitch it sounds like it's probably Jared Hughes. It "startled and upset" him? LOL. An underhand tossed baseball landing 5+ feet away from you should not startle you.“I wasn’t expecting the ball to come back towards me, usually the ball goes to the bat boy after someone gets hit. I was kind of startled, and it upset me.” Jared Hughes

And it's hard to imagine a guy who's been in the bigs virtually all year (minus a 10-day minor league/rest stint) on a team with (currently) 10 minority players (including their superstar-caliber guy AND the starting pitcher Hughes replaced) randomly issuing racist slurs.justincredible;1267637 wrote:I highly doubt he'd scream racism if it wasn't legit.

Making it hard to be all 100 percent behind the guy who responded to being hit by flipping the ball back at the pitcher and then handled things with a teen girl "someone wuz mean!" tweet.

Hell, if Phillips and Hughes did that, we probably wouldn't have to. Damn slackers...

What about John Rocker? I've never really been under the impression that racists were generally smart people.And it's hard to imagine a guy who's been in the bigs virtually all year (minus a 10-day minor league/rest stint) on a team with (currently) 10 minority players (including their superstar-caliber guy AND the starting pitcher Hughes replaced) randomly issuing racist slurs.

I expect Dusty to burn a reliever to plunk someone late in the game. No doubt both benches will be warned before the game so the pitcher and Dusty would be tossed immediately.
I wasn't planning on going tonight but it sounds like I'll have to change my plans.

That's true, but Rocker was always kind of an outspoken douche, wasn't he? I haven't heard anything like that about Hughes and I started following their minor league stuff back when he was in AA. Guess it'd be really weird/bad timing for him to have his first racist slip-up last night.justincredible;1267657 wrote:What about John Rocker?
