@ChadMoriyama I looked into it and apparently they’re going with the theory that Rushing grimacing in pain from his oblique injury was actually just him making a very mean face because he’s super duper angry with Dave for checking to see if he’s ok
@Ash_Padres@extralefty@BushLeagueBlake Since it’s so early, if you feel like looking at the LA broadcast, they showed the pitch he’d previously injured it on, and his face grimaces, and he grabs the bat tightly, and he even slapped it I think. You know, like a person who’s in physical pain but trying to tough it out?
@Ash_Padres@BushLeagueBlake It’s possible you’re as autistic as Dalton Rushing and don’t possess the basic human ability to tell that he’s grimacing and tensing up and breathing heavy because he’s in physical pain, in which case, that’s not embarrassing, and good luck to you managing your medical condition
@Ash_Padres@BushLeagueBlake I believe that you watch a lot of baseball, that’s why it’s so fucking embarrassing for you lmao
You can’t recall seeing a player grimace and tense up because he’s hurt, but also wave off the trainer and say he’s fine?
Like I said, embarrassing. Lmao
@Ash_Padres@BushLeagueBlake Did I say anything about Rushing being in an ideal mental headspace? He’s clearly not. But separately from that you’re making yourself look like someone who’s never watched baseball before by trying to use this extremely mundane and typical interaction to grandstand
@BushLeagueBlake@Ash_Padres Do you think your earrape broadcaster would’ve said something else in the clip other than “he says he’s ok but they’re gonna check on him anyway” if something even a little atypical happened
@Ash_Padres@BushLeagueBlake Then I would recommend watching even a casual fan’s amount of baseball games, and looking at small details for a reason other than to find something to complain about online
@BushLeagueBlake@Ash_Padres@BigTimeStrapley No fuckin way you’re gonna die on the hill of “mlb players don’t wave off trainers” lmaooo there aren’t clips of it because until tonight nobody has actually been pathetic enough to try to make a big deal out of it
@Ash_Padres@BigTimeStrapley If someone has watched even 50 baseball games before in their life I’d say they are pretty much guaranteed to have seen the exact thing you’re blabbing about. Remarkably common
@Ash_Padres@cjwalters4242 Really normal to people who’ve watched baseball and aren’t trying to make up things to be mad at. Seen it legitimately a triple digit number of times
@ChadMoriyama Yeah I don’t really think the guy with slightly above average speed who’s notoriously bad at baserunning needs to keep attempting steals in front of a million power hitters
@ChadMoriyama We’ll see how honest they are (lol) but supposedly he’s now actually healthy and expects to be going forward after knowingly playing injured for his entire dodgers tenure so far
@Pinsanity12@Lastone23456@ChadMoriyama Neither of them are mlb caliber hitters at this point in their careers. But Freeland is headed to the bench when Teoscar is back so whatever
