I can't help but notice no actual denial about DeJong being a flat-earther in this. Seems like it would be pretty easy to say "Paul DeJong is not a flat-earther" instead of listing off his family's academic accolades.

You're acting like we are failing because we don't agree with you and the podcast host ("I thought we had better taste than that now") when Trevor Bauer is doing something we find funny.

And it is funny, it rocks.

Trevor Bauer sucks more cause he's a weird internet creep who internet stalked a woman who said he wasn't as good as Alex Bregman and had his Twitter followers harass her.

He has bad opinions but is also just a genuine creep.

Yeah, he's a midgrade MRA chud shitposter and I don't really get why people respect it as much as they do.

A decent amount of the pitching-specific stuff he does is interesting but the idea that he's an amazing personality and fascinating guy is very weird to me.

(That goes for people who read his tweets just to get mad at him. Curate your own feeds!)

I don't get it either. I've got quite a few friends that follow Trump specifically to wake up and read his tweets. Why personally invite that much negativity into your life?

Butt first, let's

Dear Baseball Goons,

Yesterday I was kind of an antagonistic dick. I'm sorry. I was going through some poo poo. My mother was headed into surgery this morning and without realizing it my anxiety had worked itself up so much that I found myself crying while saying mean stuff about the Astros. I apologized in the game thread and everyone was so kind and understanding that it really helped me in a way I needed. I'm happy to say that she's out of surgery and doing well. Surgery turned out to not have to be as invasive as thought. Things sound really good. Knock on wood.

I want to thank you again for being so good and decent in a moment I needed it and might not have deserved it. Maybe this is silly. Maybe this is self indulgent. I apologize for it being off topic. But my wonderful mom once told me you should never pass on a chance to tell someone what they meant to you or thank them for what they did for you. You guys really helped me in a way I can't really fully verbalize. And again, I'm sorry i lost myself in the anxiety.

This was one of my mom's favorite players and really hosed with me when it crossed the screen as I was watchingESPN to distract myself. Not looking forward to telling her when she gets home. Knock on wood.

They just never found the cameras they put in Dodger stadium in 2017, like riding a bike that is loud and notifies you when a breaking ball is coming.

Bauer likes to think of himself as the smartest guy in baseball and I think he realized touting MAGA poo poo was working against that narrative.

He is trying to be a marketable cultural entity and be big on like youtube and sell shirts and whatnot. He is the kid of guy who would cream his pants if fanbases on Twitter starting trying to sway him to join their team in FA every year. Bringing up politics usually works against all that and I'm sure deep down he is still some MAGA dipshit, but I don't care much if he doesn't talk about it.

Beyond all that I think he goes back to Cincy if they make him a decent offer, especially if he is sticking to his one year deal thing. He apparently loves the Reds pitching coaches and in theory the team is still set up to be competitive next season.
