Spencer Strider seems like a Dickhead

[Centerfield]

And he has a stupid moustache.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Has he said or done anything recently that prompted this?

[kcmets]

I found two things on a quick google....
a) Strider has struck out at least nine in nine straight starts
b) Retired 80's porn stars have removed all facial hair so no one can
suggest that he's remotely related to any of them
...stay tuned for more updates.

I just learned I will not just click but smash on a thread title that explicitly identifies Spencer Strider as a Dickhead.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I think "proper wanker" is a better description

[Edgy MD]

Intriguing to be exercising anti-Brave animosity before the season series with them has even started.

Let's talk about Ronald Acuña's body armor.

"Seems", yeah. And his comments after losing to the Mets last year about cheap hits almost confirmed it, but:

Strider had been diagnosed with high blood pressure at 18. Unable to pitch, he researched new eating habits. He quit meat and his body appreciated it, he said. Being vegan also “[satisfied] my ethical concerns with the animal-agricultural industry, and those types of things, and the environment,” he said. He found he preferred berries and yogurt to bacon and eggs. “It gives me a joy in eating,” he said.

Strider throws with his right hand. But he leans to the left. He studied political science and obsessed over the 2020 election. When asked for Clemson’s official website which person, living or dead, he most wished he could dine with, Strider answered Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont and former Democratic presidential candidate. “To not get extremely political, I just admire his progressive independence, as I like to characterize it,” Strider said. Within the generally conservative culture of baseball, this made him a rarity. “Little Bernie” was an occasional nickname. “Guys liked to egg him on in the locker room about it — but there’s no way they’d win, because he’d win a debate with anybody on politics,” See said.

He added, “Listening to him talk about politics made me feel like an idiot. Like, ‘God, he knows everything.’

“We’re like right in the middle of the Bible Belt,” Lee said. “You’ve got the vegan power right-hander pitcher who’s a big Bernie Sanders guy. It was great to have a guy like him in the clubhouse. It wasn’t that he was different — he just had no problem sharing with everybody who he was and what he believed in.”

Feel free to think he is if you want. [Lee was his college coach.]

Did Bernie Sanders make it to Tuesday night's asswhupping?

why did you have to make me feel sorry for the guy...

[ashie62]

So Spencer is a good dude with a Braves pornstar stache

[whippoorwill]

This whole thread is why I keep coming back here.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I look like a dickhead with a mustache. He looks pretty great, I gotta say. I've seen clips of him with Rob from Pitching Ninja and he seems like a cool guy. Brash, but still likeable. I didn't know about the poli-sci nerd stuff, but that makes me like him a bit more.

This is slowly morphing into a sort of fan club

Nah

That has a byline, but reads like it was written by an AI bot.

Hey Tom Selleck!

Anyone we know?

It's just someone KC knew a long time ago.

Great head, like mine used to be

I can't imagine wearing a Jets shirt ever in public...
