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.
Here's the video of Donaldson going deep and heading 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:

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