Hows come you baseball people didn’t tell me that the Padres have a knuckleballer?
That would be Travis Waldron.
@InUnfunky
Bats on fire last night.
Yeah, I know.
Just keep In mind that cuz Rahbbitz n’ Mookie I lean Dodgers.
BUT now that I know about Waldron, well…?
I blame FL and spring training mentality (pre-Marlins and Debbil Rays 🤓):..
@InUnfunky
My bff, lifelong Padres fan, adopted a dog an named him Trevor...because he was a "great save". Guess the reference.
@InUnfunky
Trevor Hoffman...a sterling closer for the Padres.
He got a statue placed at the park recently.
@InUnfunky
Duh, huh, you would.
When I moved from FL to CT in ‘99 I had to rejuvenate my “baseball bullshit” jive. And it was certainly easy to do so in a portion of the country (NY/CT/NJ AKA the much-vaunted “tri-state area”) wherein the Sawx/Metz/Yankz camps were evenly split. 🤷🏻♂️🤓
From that point it was a non-issue to combine my FL spring training mentality with a bit more regional fanaticism vis a vis people who took said fandom VERY SERIOUSLY.
I never lost my fence-sitter mindset, though. 😜
