Josh Donaldson was right to call out MLB cheaters: Sherman

Good for Josh Donaldson.

If you are deciding how to feel about his actions based on which team he plays for or the outcome of a pitcher/hitter confrontation, then you are doubling down on a problem far more problematic to our society than sticky stuff on a baseball. Predetermining your opinion based on a team (Yankees or Twins, Democrats or Republicans) rather than on considering the issue exposes a blind devotion to a side rather than the facts. Donaldson said out loud what was being said behind closed doors — the pitcher-hitter combat is being distorted by the use of illegal sticky stuff and that Gerrit Cole’s spin went down noticeably in his start before facing Donaldson’s Twins, but immediately after much more scrutiny was placed on this matter.
