The Chicago White Sox have been among the most disappointing teams in the early going of the MLB season, and even when they manage to win, they can’t escape controversy.
We have a “Rat vs. Raccoon” situation all over again.
Footage from Monday’s game between the White Sox and Tigers showed pitcher Lance Lynn getting into a heated argument with third base coach Joe McEwing. It was unclear what the whole spat was about, and Lynn’s explanation didn’t exactly clear up the situation. According to Lynn, the two were having a lively discussion about filets and ribeyes.
Yeah, totally … nothing to see here.
"He kept telling me that filet is better than ribeye. I'm more of a ribeye and potatoes guy."

The response was awfully reminiscent of the time Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil ran into the tunnel and would later say it was about a rat vs. raccoon. They weren’t going to reveal the true details of the altercation, and Lynn wasn’t going to disclose what really happened there either.
MLB fans did appreciate the original response though — even if it was completely made up.
