People do this s*** all the time, in every context, thanks to social media. "Braves fans" is a huge group of different people. I wonder how hard it would be to find actual, specific, Braves fans who loved Donaldson's attitude but hate Puig's.
It was basically slot value. I don't think you can call that caving. Detroit probably decided it wasn't worth jerking their preferred player around for a few hundred thousand dollars in order to maybe sign someone slightly better later on.
Everything I've read says Wall is not great anywhere. Just s***** instincts. It wouldn't be surprising if someone like Espinal is actually a better CF than him.
The main problem I see with Randal Grichuk is that he is a boring ass 29 year old man who should not be tweeting at all. That's it. Just log off, man. Don't tweet "guy SMH 100 bro" at your peers. It's cringetopia.
Not as obvious a point as you might think. See the Flynn Effect, for instance.
Anyway, I think we can all agree:
Baseball player IQs ranked:
Kawasakis
Whites
Blacks
Latinos
Players who are like 1/32 jewish and play for Israel at international events (jk they are first)
Extremely good content. Thank you, Twitter.
Team Grichuk for me. I don’t care about on the field talent since Stroman is gone and not returning (obviously Stroman is better and Grichuk sucks vs his contract). That story about Stroman is horrendous. He must be a terrible influence on other players in any organization. And I’ll never forget the dog ears thing.
When Buck Martinez is paired with professional broadcasters he is not terrible. On some of the national and playoff coverage when he does colour he is good enough
26 man rosters going forward makes it at least a bit more likely that Rowdy can carve out a role as a strong side platoon player or Matt Stairsy (plus 8 inches and 60 pounds) pinch hitter on a good team. Needs to mash RHP, mainly.
