It's always these fat, filthy looking pieces of garbage, too. It's also funny because I've noticed a lot of the worst examples end up covering the A's. I got into a twitter argument with one of them (when I was still on the platform) because he didn't like an article about Aroldis Chapman that used "firing bullets" in reference to his fastball.
I asked him if that meant we have to call out every historical use of that metaphor dating back to the start of baseball or remove the nicknames of Joe Bush and Bob Turley. You could immediately tell he had no idea who those players were and didn't understand that "firing bullets" is a pretty common metaphor. This is because he was a fat, sweaty nerd who never picked up a baseball in his life and had no idea what it meant to actually play the game. He probably spends more time in front of a calculator than actually watching the game.
It turned out that his "signature" thing was waddling up to baseball players with an old, unopened pack of baseball cards and a camera and watching them react to opening them up to see what cards were inside. He was running these articles DURING the baseball season. I could see saving these for December and January when there's nothing to write about, but THIS is the best he could muster during an actual season? On any given day of a baseball season I could easily write at least three articles on something that happened that day. These fat, lazy nerds are killing sports because they don't understand what makes them appealing. Hint: It has nothing to do with calculators.
Kind of like this faggot article:
What to do about baseball brawls in the age of social distancing.
