That's not a long list of guys.
You can't just cherrypick like that. "I think that Schrodinger's (too lazy to spell right) Cat is an interesting theory. I think that human trafficing is fine." Well, aside from the second point, what's wrong with what was said? (obvious exaggeration is obvious)

I wasn't posting at the time, but you have absolutely no clue what it was like to be around me when Giolito was taken by the Nationals last year. I was a safety hazard to those around me.

Our pitching has just been horrifying.
