Between the lodged ball & the outlandish criticism of IKF’s lead at 3rd base I am reminded of just how silly it is to try & explain high level strategy & the purpose behind it to people who are essentially stepping into a PHD level course & telling the professor they’re wrong because “insert opinion with no experience or education to support shitty opinion”. I’ve watched current & retired players try to explain the rules & strategy of the games they play/ed & be told their wrong by “Steve in sales” who pitched & played SS on his men’s league team.
nobody talks about how weird it is being ~kinda~ suicidal. it’s not like you plan on doing it but everything just feels heavy and exhausting and you wouldn’t mind if something happened but on the other hand you can’t go because you have pets and loved ones. do i make sense.
