Fake Wilner

I used to take calls from people who couldn't read. Now I'm writing for the Star.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Actually, you're wrong.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Well hello there. On today's episode of Deep Left Field we'll spend a few minutes discussing how a mostly dormant baseball account's feed is filled with political messages linked to activism from this app's current owner.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

This is really early to tell you it's not still early.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Sometimes the best $700 million contract is the one you don't dole out.

[Kaz Homomoto @TedRogered]

@Minor_Leaguer Maybe he only ever interacted with Mike Wilner

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Kiermaier's great, but he's still no Anthony Gose.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

@TodayJays @DanClarkSports Ross Atkins's epitaph will read, "he was in till the end."

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Gabriel Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel still have the same number of rings as Alejandro Kirk and Daulton Varsho.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Well isn't this swell? The Toronto Star gave me space on an electronic billboard. Rogers wasn't doing that when I was enlightening fans.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

The Blue Jays are still a win away from being a win away. Where they were yesterday with a little less room for error. And that's what makes this so fun.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Getting as far as Germany did in the World Cup isn't too shabby. #SoccerTalkAudition.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

When I'm telling you it's freaking early and not getting a dime from Rogers, that means it's freaking early!

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

If I were still at Rogers people would be having drinking games with the number of times I'd have to say, "It's still early" and "talk you off the ledge" tonight.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

And the best part of this trade is if Kevin Smith ends up being great, Oakland will send him back in five years!

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Who knows, maybe Kevin Gausman and Yusei Kikuchi needed their own personal first basemen. #Votto #Freeman

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

Robbie Ray wouldn't have done that.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

If I'm no longer a broadcaster do I still get in trouble for tweeting it?

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

You know, in my new job I'm not required to call seven games out of a wildcard spot meaningful September baseball.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

The same people who complained about the return for Marcus Stroman are the ones complaining about overpaying for Jose Berrios.

[Fake Wilner @FakeWilner1]

I am willing to bet money Buck has complained more about the one-knee stance than I ever told people it was still early.
