I’ve never been more tired in my life, but I’ve also never been more fulfilled in my life. Welcome to the world, Jacob.

[Jon Hunsaker @JonTheHun]

Here’s 3 off the top of my head.
1. Mormons reject the trinity and believe Jesus is a created being, rather than the one true God. Mormons are literally polytheistic.
2. Mormons don’t believe in salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
3. Mormons don’t believe in the infallibility of the Bible
Any of those 3 make you not a Christian and yet Mormonism hits all 3 and many more.

[Clay @ClayJParker]

Check this out:
BA: ADC: .192, Barrosa: .174, Fernandez: .255
K%: ADC: .313, Barrosa: .291, Fernandez: .226
OBP: ADC: .252, Barrosa: .248, Fernandez: .289
SLG: ADC: .325, Barrosa: .326, Fernandez: .352
OPS: ADC: .577, Barrosa: .574, Fernandez: .641

Fernandez has the
8th best BA on the team
10th best OBP,
9th best SLG%
10th best OPS,
9th best K%
top 10 on the team in all of those categories.

The #Dbacks decision was that the best thing for the team is to send keep ADC and Barrosa in the majors and send Fernandez down to AAA. It is moves like this that make it harder and harder to watch this team.

Take away 1) Dodger fans & worst of all 2) Lovullo lovers you’ll see it’s pretty league wide accepted Muncy lit Vargas up on purpose… look at the comments from the non bias comment. 1) Pushed off the bag to 2) jump into Vargas 3) well inside the base line 4) threw his forearm too

[Goldschmidt Happened @GoldyHappens]

Another big AB for Pavin Smith another rollover weak ground ball to end the inning from Pavin!! Year 7 baby!!!

[Goldschmidt Happened @GoldyHappens]

I still can’t get over Max Muncy hit sticking Ildemaro Vargas and jumping right into him and ending up getting just as injured as Ildemaro. At least some sort of attempt to get out of the way vs just trying to lay out Ildemaro would have been nice…

[Jon Hunsaker @JonTheHun]

Best possible outcome was him not swinging the bat

[Jon Hunsaker @JonTheHun]

@GoldyHappens Pavin is going to end the inning isn’t he

[Sports Patriot @SportsPatriotUS]

I’m going to say this as calmly as possible:

Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach.

Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great.

It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big.

And that is insane.

This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her.

She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude.

No.

Her attitude is not the story.

The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance.

This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.”

That is what this looks like.

The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it.

And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped.

Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd.

You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room.

Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing.

Fans are not stupid.

They see the fouls.
They see the double standards.
They see the jealousy.
They see the media resentment.
They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her.
And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly:
People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled.
They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great.
If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid:

Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark.

At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question:

How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her?

Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse.

It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care.

@OwnedBySuns I will always hate the Spurs for the way they ruined my adolescence. That being said I was rooting for them over OKC.
