Natural throwing errors are up and away (ball slips out) or down and in (hang on too long). Connor's is in an unnatural direction. On purpose!

As someone who has had enough mishaps throwing a ball and has seen it happen enough times, you can completely tell he was aiming exactly where he threw it.

 

I wish the media would present it like that instead of giving him what he wants. I'd much prefer if they called him out as a douchebag for making a spectacle out of a nice tradition. I really hate that the world has turned into this ********. I must have seen 5 headlines this morning sensationalizing this nonsense that was clearly staged.

Connor isn't even Irish...it's a heel gimmick he plays

 

He's actually black IRL.

Relievers are so unbelievably volatile.

 

I wanted the Jays to snag Kimbrel big time. He was damn near unhittable with the Cubs.

 

You basically have to toss 50 pieces of crap at a wall and see which 10 or so stick to build a bullpen.

Projecting relievers is like voodoo magic. Kimbrel was ridiculous with the Cubs surrendering all of 2 earned runs in 36 innings. With the White Sox he's surrendered 12 earned runs in only 19 innings. Given what was given up for Kimbrel I'm certainly glad it's the White Sox that have to deal with trying to turn him around and not the Jays.

Kimbrel just doesn't seem to deal with change well. Every time he switches teams or gets moved or whatever he seems to take a looooong time to settle in. Then suddenly he's nails again. Very odd

"reliable reliever" is an oxymoron, except for freaks like Hader and a few others

 

Even Aroldis Chapman has seen some sizeable chinks start to appear in his armor.

So Juan Soto is basically the greatest hitter of all time right?

 

Considering that pitching now is as good as its ever been

Its nasty how good his numbers are right now considering how bad he was to start the season. And so young still, gotta think there will be more power out of his bat as he ages into his mid-late 20s. He’s such an advanced hitter at such an early age.
