Much more fun to make sweeping generalizations less than 4 percent into the season though.

Leiter vs. Rocker: Who should go No. 1?
Kumar Rocker entered 2021 as the consensus top Draft prospect and has excelled over his first seven starts. He won all seven with a tidy 0.84 ERA, posting a .137 opponents' average and a 61/12 K/BB ratio in 43 innings. Fellow Vanderbilt right-hander Jack Leiter has been even better. He

Some talk on these absolutely stud draft prospects. Leiter has been as good as a collegiate pitcher has ever been so far. Rocker is not far off. Pirates & Rangers have to be feeling pretty great as of right now.
Phillies looking good so far. Trout is great at baseball. Seager is heading towards $360+ mm. Enjoyable start to the season so far, other than MLB being absolutely massive gaping faggots about "Muh VOTER SUPPRESSION".
Stupid loser Manfred I wanted to see an All-star game in the new Rangers ballpark. Fuck it.

Shitty. Dude can't stay healthy at all. He's only pitched 150 innings twice in 8 seasons.

Pretty dumb of him given his comments on this if true. He had to know they would be paying attention to him.IMAGINE MY SHAWK

I mean the dude railed against the foreign substance stuff and eventually went to the dark side with probably 3/4 or more of the pitchers in the league. But yeah, if you're going to spout out about it, you'd think you'd realize there's a good chance you're going to be under the microscope.

He's from San Diego too. Great story.
Now we wait to see social media posts from when he was 15 saying stupid shit.

To be honest, that one shouldn't count either. The Rangers couldn't hit AA pitching at this point.Had no idea they never had one.

But see that’s what I don’t get: I don’t think he’s that outright stupid to know that MLB is going to crack down on that type of cheating, call it out publicly on Twitter and then still keep doing it.
Another thing I don’t like: if they’re so sure he’s doctoring the ball, you don’t fucking take the balls and examine them, you check the pitcher’s body and uniform and equipment for the substance you think they’re using.
Because, if Bauer is correct, and he’s simply taking advantage of the substances other players apply to their bats and gloves, he’s simply working within the system.
The problem isn’t that the pitchers are using a substance to doctor the ball; you have to decide wether or not to let the game stay as is or putting limits on the substances applied to bats and gloves.
On the other hand, if you find shit on the back of his neck, or applied to his mitt, then sure he should be punished.
