i want to add one thing to this: after The Tweets, MLB threw josh into sensitivity training immediately, which is how he became close enough friends with billy bean to be quoted in his obituary. MLB completely abandoning any attempt to educate or inform is a huge part of why things are so bad.
anyway giants fans: bully your pitchers. bully them hard. bully them with your whole heart. some guys will double down. but sometimes, just maybe, you may be able to get in through the cracks and make a difference.
