After complaining that a flight attendant wouldn't clean up the mess his kid made, Anthony Bass decided he didn't look like a big enough asshole yet.

he’s going to bat .190 the rest of the year but .500 against the Yankees with 3-4 homeruns

Meanwhile Kershaw added a few waves.

Since it is paywalled, I'll snip out relevant quotes.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times at Dodger Stadium on Monday, Kershaw said that while there were tentative plans for the club to bring the Christian event back this year — it was an annual staple on the Dodgers’ promotional schedule before the COVID-19 pandemic — his announcement of its relaunch last Friday was prompted by the team’s planned recognition of the Sisters group.

“I think we were always going to do Christian Faith Day this year, but I think the timing of our announcement was sped up,” Kershaw said. “Picking a date and doing those different things was part of it as well. Yes, it was in response to the highlighting of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence [by the Dodgers].”

There was a Christian oriented day that was last held in 2019.

Kershaw, who has spoken openly about his faith during his 16-year career and founded a faith-based charity with his wife, Ellen, called Kershaw’s Challenge, voiced opposition to the team’s decision Monday.

“I don’t agree with making fun of other people’s religions,” he said. “It has nothing to do with anything other than that. I just don’t think that, no matter what religion you are, you should make fun of somebody else’s religion. So that’s something that I definitely don’t agree with.”

Kershaw was adamant his issue was with the Sisters group specifically, and not the LGBTQ+ community at large.

“This has nothing to do with the LGBTQ community or pride or anything like that,” Kershaw said. “This is simply a group that was making fun of a religion, that I don’t agree with.”

Before his interview Monday, Kershaw initiated a players-only meeting in the Dodgers clubhouse to talk about the situation.

He said he has been in contact with club officials about his feelings, as well, though clarified that the process of making the Christian Faith Day announcement on Friday was “my idea.”

Kershaw also said he isn’t planning to boycott the June 16 Pride Night event, when the Sisters will be honored.

“As a follower of Christ, we’re supposed to love everybody well,” Kershaw said. “And I think that means being able to be at a lot of different places and be able to be a part of a lot of different things.”

And Kershaw's Tweet last Friday that kinda got a bunch of flak - https://twitter.com/ClaytonKersh22/s...51424153616389

I definitely believe Kershaw when he says it's entirely about that specific group making fun of Christianity and nothing else. Some of the other guys like Trevor Williams not so much

I know I am going to regret asking this but..

DO THEY openly mock Catholicism?

[Mertron]

i think the big problem here is supporting the dodgers

Nope. If anything, they act more catholic than most Catholics do.

I used to go to the Folsom street fair yearly and they were always there collecting donations and were some of the kindest people there.

I'd trust my kids with one of the sisters than I would the actual Catholic church.

I mean... they're literally doing Catholic nun themed drag. While they do a lot of good charity work you really can't deny that they're mocking aspects of the religion

[Outlaw]

I've heard this Senga guy is pretty good.

These Yankees After Dark games aren’t too bad when it’s played in West Yankee Stadium.
