Video: Josh Donaldson Blasts Back at White Sox Pitcher: "Guess What Mr. Giolito? Your spin rates are down!"

The war of words between Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito and Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson has taken a new spin, as Donaldson rhymed off Giolito's dropping spin rates, and called him "somebody who was probably cheating".

Josh Donaldson responds to Lucas Giolito:

“If we’re gonna talk about cheating, are you gonna take the side of someone who’s playing the game fair or you gonna take the side of someone who was probably cheating before this happened?” pic.twitter.com/MUUypzw5U3

The Bringer of Rain brought some facts down on the White Sox ace: "Guess what Mr. Giolito? Your fastball spin rate's down 200, your curveball spin rate's down 400-500, your slider's down 200", said Donaldson.

“If we’re gonna talk about class... are you gonna take the side of someone who’s playing the game fair or are you gonna take the side of someone who was probably cheating before this happened?”

Donaldson also responded directly to Giolito's profanity-laced tirade after Tuesday's game, in which the pitcher demanded Donaldson come talk directly to his face:

Lucas Giolito said he wants Josh Donaldson to say things to his face. Donaldson’s response:

“I did say it to his face. We had a talk last night… He didn’t have much to say.” pic.twitter.com/cCSIyTZ7Nf
