If there are two things Josh Donaldson does not like, they’re striking out and being chastised. He got both early Wednesday against the Yankees.
After going down on strikes against CC Sabathia in the first inning, Donaldson walked back to the Blue Jays dugout and threw his bat in frustration. Manager John Gibbons, obviously displeased with the reigning AL MVP’s display, stepped to the slugger to likely tell him to grow up.

Donaldson, still upset about the whole striking out deal, went back and forth with Gibbons before a trio of teammates separated the two.
