Spencer Strider seems like a Dickhead

The guy you really want on your team is Cole Irvin.

So not only does Spenser Strider have a 1970s vintage porn mustache but he also has Lee Mazzilli's 1970s era pants.
There are players wearing compression sleeves that aren't as form fitting.

“Absolutely, there should be no fans, 2020 season, no fans,” Strider said ...“Get rid of the fans, it’s too loud. It’s too loud, everybody be quiet.
We don’t need the cheering, we know you’re watching. I don’t need the fans.”

“You stay out the stadium, I mean, back it up. Let’s do a no lower-bowl thing. … Upper decks, great. Outfield, phenomenal.
We don’t need you around the dugouts. Just try and be quiet.”




FK: You wouldn't think a player would think this way.
And you certainly wouldn't expect one to vocalize such opinions.

I heard Spencer Strider’s post game interview. No excuses. Owned it. Vowed to be better next year.

WHAT A DICKHEAD.

Kind of in the wrong field of work, and for way too long to be saying such things. Especially if it’s related to life long issues as it seems to be.

I mean, if it’s that big of a deal for you to handle. You don’t enter a profession where you have to perform in front large crowds that only get larger, and you are tasked with performing in front of them more frequently as you go along the ranks of the profession, as well as improve upon your performing skills.

Missed this the first time around, but I saw this clip. The kid asked him for his "hottest sports take" and he seemed to me sarcastic as hell in his answer. Did anybody take this literally? Or did I swing and miss?

Brave haters for sure. And while he was being glib and sarcastic, defenders were saying he does suffer from aniexty issues while in crowds. Though that could be the defenders projecting their own issues, or armchair diagnosing why he would say something like that.

I'm just amazed that anyone who went to school in Tennessee likes Bernie Sanders.

Strider looking like he's suffered his second UCL blowout.

Not what you want to root for, but it's certainly not shocking, considering the violence of his delivery.

It's hard to figure out an injury that can have a bigger impact on the division. There are more valuable players, like Acuña and Harper, but neither of them are likely to sustain an injury that takes them off the field for 14 months.

I was so xcited to have the first draft in my fantasy league and I picked him. Sigh.
