To me, it is a mountain/molehill thing but the mountain is made by Donaldson reacting the way he did. He could have simply called time, stepped out, given Arraez a little nonverbal head nod and get back in the box. Then have a subtle conversation in the dugout/tunnel to make sure everyone is on the same page. I like a player with some fire as much as the next guy, but Donaldson is all about Donaldson and I think he rubs a lot of his teammates the wrong way. Or maybe he just rubs me the wrong way. ?

I don't understand why everyone thinks Gibson is a lock for the rotation. He is as inconsistent as they come and is no longer young, with upside. Obviously, the options are limited behind him, but he is no more of a lock in my mind than Duffey, Santiago, HUghes, etc.
