I respond to tweets & immediately delete them ALL THE TIME. Overreact to abject stupidity (mostly baseball related, though lately imbeciles have been showing irksome ignorance about BrBa/BCS), tweet sharply, then realize don’t wanna argue w/idiots I don’t know, so *poof* deleted.

@tomhaberstroh I get the gag, but most won’t.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@ChrisCarlin Bart as per usual doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to baseball. Let’s see him say this when Kay is in the studio. It’s so irritating to hear and there’s a surface level of knowledge but little else on this show. It’s unfortunate. And annoying.

@TheKnicksRecap More people who are gonna hide and not walk back their slams?

Ooh — and they should do it with Leslie there. That’ll be priceless and viral beyond belief.

But will they? Hmm.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@jemelehill Didn’t she initially say this a while back and then doubled down on it within the past couple months?

If you say something publicly & repeatedly, it would show character to walk it back when proven wrong.

No reason to insist on it, but she should want to do that herself.

@pamsson Not to mention when their former longtime Jays broadcaster and ex player Buck Martinez shat all over the Yanks.

And then there’s that douchey HR jacket nonsense. Oh, and Gausman’s kind of a creep and ass too.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@pamsson Over the past few years, they are the team I despise the most in the AL. They’ve overtaken Boston & Houston. This goes back to the days of Menoah calling Cole a cheater to Springer whining about the umps being pro Yankee to Davis Schneider mocking Judge’s HR to all Vlad’s antics.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

Anybody checking on how Becky Hammon is doing?

Hope they serve a nice roasted crow in Vegas.

@pamsson Question: his stuff translates best to the one (when Fried returns), but the propensity to give up HRs is troubling. Still the guy to go to pen?

Resulting rotation:

Cole
Schlittler
Fried
Rodon
Warren

🤤

@dandrezner Be it serious or a joke, not a cool thought to post. Unless the point is simply to rile people up — which I suppose is only appropriate for the cancerous cesspool this social media site has been for past few years.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@ajak1033 Fantastic tweet!

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@jan_murray @unherd …you showed up on the radar of the star & one of the producers and f the series.

He proceeded to show more edge and wit than the “professional writer” (gasp — HE WRITES TOO) in an amusing rebuttal.

And… you decide to use this as fodder for your profession. Good look there.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@jan_murray @unherd Not sure “ordinary” people have nearly 40,000 followers, so that’s a bit of a false narrative from the get-go.

You chose to give an unsolicited and verbose opinion on a TV series from several years ago. As someone with 40000 followers as opposed to 400 or 40 [to be continued]

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@jan_murray Someone who devoted his life & passion to a series for a decade and you’re shocked that he swatted aside your snarky & lengthy put-down?

Was it any more patronizing than the manner in which you derisively spat your reductive pan?

Dish it out, better be prepared to be served.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@consequence Jeez, this guy is an utter moron.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@TalkinYanks Aaron Judge.

Shoulder soreness.

Day-to-day.

Sigh…

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@TalkinYanks Boone often does a double dip for a player getting a day off after an extended stretch of games played, especially if they’re slumping.

This is not new.
This is also the norm for most MLB managers.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@Colleen84 It’s been a delight. Brian and I are bound to chat it up some day soon, as we’ve apparently done for all Rhys shows!

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@unfinishedb1 In a later episode, there’s actually a specific reason that surprisingly and adequately explains his highly affected manner of speech. So indeed it is intended to sound somewhat artificial and, as you say, manufactured. 👍

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@TheBigBroTea Yeah, and as proof, NONE of the players on Survivor 50 were (major) a-holes. 🙄

ESPECIALLY afterwards.

[Esoteric Candy @EsotericCandy]

@RealMichaelKay 1996 Yanks also had a new primary catcher (Girardi), a full yr for rookie Jeter, and a new awareness of who they had in their bullpen (Rivera as the greatest set up man in MLB in 1996).
