After last night it’s going to be hard to ever root for Houck again. This new crazy, post-Trump, post- social media world leaves me infuriated too often as it is, so it would at least be nice if it didn’t have to infringe on the mindless escapism that baseball usually provides. I mean, Jesus, what’s wrong with this kid? Millions of grandmas have taken this vaccine and yet, this strong young man is willing to let down his team and endanger his career because he’s too scared to face the needle
Sure, sure, I know. He probably read somewhere about Bill Gates’ sinister plot and all, but Jesus Christ, when did we all get so stupid?
But yeah, what does it mean when he’s next pitching for us in a key moment? Obviously, I’ll be rooting for him. Which is strange I guess. But honestly, if and when he’s traded for a veteran first baseman I certainly won’t be as heart broken (I usually love following young pitchers) as I as I otherwise would have been..
