Great Moments in Twitter burns: Gleeman vs. Calcaterra edition - MLB

I was bored a little while ago so I decided to tweet a series of things about how I doubt “Game of Thrones” would appeal to me based on what I’ve heard people say about it. It went like this:

I know Game of Thrones is popular and people tell me it’s awesome, but every time specific scenes are discussed it makes it sound horrifying

I realize I’m old and my sensibilities have changed into that of an old dad’s, but huge amounts of violence, rape, etc. don’t appeal to me.

Not saying you can’t make a great show/movie with those elements or should be barred from it. I just can’t get into it.

Then Aaron swoops in:

@craigcalcaterra And yet you watch a daily, six-month-long show prominently featuring B.J. Upton at-bats.

The man has a damn good point.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Major League Baseball is looking into a video circulating on social media that appears to show Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon grab a fan by the shirt through the bleacher guardrails after Thursday night’s game in Oakland, a league spokesperson said Friday.

Rendon looks to have grabbed the fan’s shirt near his chest through the bars of the railing and exchanged words with him before appearing to take a swipe at the bill of the man’s ballcap and walking into the tunnel.

Angels spokesman Adam Chodzko says the team has no comment. The Angels do not play Friday, but the club expects Rendon to address the video Saturday in the clubhouse before the game against the Oakland Athletics in Oakland.

The video shows the fan, dressed in A’s colors, approach the railing as Rendon turns toward him from the tunnel walkway below. Rendon then appears to grab the man’s shirt and ask him what he just said, accusing the fan of calling him a derogatory term before swiping at his ballcap.

The A’s won the game 2-1.
