Tigers' offense explodes in 8-0 victory over Astros.
The Tigers’ offense found the pressure valve, opened it up wide and blew out some pent-up steam.

After scratching and scuffling and producing very little the last three games, they busted out Friday and put an 8-0 hurt on the Houston Astros, squaring the series at Comerica Park.
The eight runs came in a two-inning rampage against right-hander Spencer Arrighetti.

MLB is in legal trouble with the Department of Justice, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as well as with a number of state and city governments for a pattern of discrimination against religions and freedom of speech. Going back every year for the last 5 years, there have been incidences that were perceived to trample on the First Amendment.
We covered the latest controversies earlier this week. If you did not read it, it is highly encouraged to review the issues here:

When he was the MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig advocated for baseball taking a role in advocating for social change and started to introduce a number of events that recognized the issues of the day. After retiring, Selig reiterated that MLB needs to keep pushing for social change, stating “I believe baseball’s a social institution. I’ve said that, you’ve heard it a million times. It is a social institution. And therefore it should take a leadership role in items like this, no question.”
This week, Commissioner Rob Manfred received requests from Congress for documentation of alleged discrimination at recent events. He was notified that MLB is being investigated for religious discrimination and suppression of free speech by multiple government and state legal agencies.
Despite his previous support for social change events, he responded to a Congressional inquiry by writing “The league does not desire for its players to become messengers for political or social issues while in uniform playing baseball games because many messages have the potential to offend some segment of our fanbase — even if that was not the intent of the player.”
Should MLB get involved in political and social issues to be an agent of change? Or should they remain neutral with their focus solely on playing baseball?
(Once again, we remind readers of the rules for posting found at the link at the top of this page. Please be thoughtful and considerate in your comments. Those failing to meet the requirements for posting will not be published.)

Should MLB be involved in promoting political/social change or should they stick only to playing baseball?

1. Yes, baseball is a social institution and should promote social change.

2. No, MLB should stick to only playing baseball.
