Josh Donaldson not running after homer is ‘baseball gods’ theater

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson is nursing a calf injury this spring training. One can add insult to injury after Donaldson blasted a home run and didn’t run the bases in a minor-league game on Friday. Donaldson headed to the dugout rather than touring the bases.

A college baseball coach took offense at Donaldson’s direct trip to the dugout and tweeted about it. Here’s what the coach said, per CBS Sports:

“This might be the worst video I have ever seen. So much disrespect to the game of baseball. Baseball gods will handle this.”

The tweet was deleted, but not before Donaldson sniped back, leading to a quick apology from the Texas assistant coach.
