The truest words ever written in this internet age of ours are these: Never read
The truest words ever written in this internet age of ours are these: Never read the comments. Normally, I try to stick to that philosophy, but last night and this morning, I read the comments/replies. I dont know what I was expecting, but I was still appalled.The replies were to two specific tweets, both related to that horrific moment in last nights Cubs-Astros game, when a foul ball off the bat of Albert Almora Jr. stuck a young girl in the stands at Minute Maid Josh Jacobs T Shirts Park. One was from Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart, . The other was from ESPNs Jeff Pa san, pa sing along .MORE:I was stunned at the number of replies against the netting. Staunchly, vehemently against the safety netting. Angrily, even. I just dont understand it. And it doesnt matter whether its a precious child hit with the ball even though, as a dad of a 9-month-old girl, Wednesday nights incident hits especially close to home or an in-their-prime adult or retired Derek Carr Jersey person like the 79-year-old who died after she was hit by a foul ball at Dodger Stadium last year.Ive , and Im still stunned that baseball hasnt mandated thorough rules to protect its patrons. The powers-that-be have taken steps in the right direction, but theyre too slow and too small.Think the players want extendednetting? Look at Almora's reaction during the game when he went over to the area where the girl was hit.A really tough scene at Minute Maid Park over the last inning. Albert Almora Jr. of the Cubs hit a hard line-drive foul into the stands that hit a young child. Almora Jr. was extremely shaken up and after the next half inning, he was consoled by MMP security personnel. SportsTalk 790 (@SportsTalk790) And then listen to him talk about it after the game."I want to put a net around the whole stadium."Albert Almora Jr. was visibly shaken after hitting a line drive that struck a young fan in the stands at Minute Maid Park during last night's Cubs-Astros game.Story and video by : Chicago Sports (@ChicagoSports) The anti-netting crowd splits into two basic schools of thought: 1. The nets distract my view;2. Pay attention and you wont get hit.The first one is Las Vegas Raiders Home Office just, well, stupid. It takes about five seconds to adjust to sitting behind a net, and then it becomes basically invisible. Theres no reason to dwell on that one. Im convinced the people who use that argument just like to hate things.I want to talk about the second one. In short, its also stupid. If you believe that, Im not saying youre a stupid person, but you do have a stupid opinion on this subject. Nobody in the ballpark is paying attention every single second of every single pitch, and all it takes is a split second for everything to change.Nothing about this is funny, but that way of thinking pay attention and youll be fine reminds me of .All men kind of think of themselves as, like, low-level superheroes Davante Adams Jersey in their own world. Im not even supposed to be telling you this. But when men are growing up and theyre reading about Batman, Spiderman, Superman, these arent fantasies. These are options.Yeah. We think were more than we are.He continues Ill give you a perfect example of what Im talking about. You ever see a guy out on the highway moving a mattre s tied to the roof of the car? Without fail, hes got the arm out the window, holding the mattre s. This is cla sic male idiot superhero thinking. This moron believes that if the wind catches this huge rectangle at 70 miles an hour, I got it. I got it. Dont worry about it. Im using my arm! Dont worry about Carl Nassib Jersey me! Ill duck out of the way of that baseball launched more than 100 mph off the bat just 200 or so feet away. Or better yet, Ill catch it bare-handed without even spilling my beer!Nah, you wont. If you think thats how itll go down, its because you havent faced down the reality of a baseball screaming directly at you. Amazing how quickly that opinion can change.I was against them until I Cliff Branch Jersey took a one hopper down at Fall Ball. I was past the dugout right on the other side of fence and all I could do was get my head out of the way. Took it off the shoulder. NO CHILD COULD HAVE MOVED shoot 8/10 adults wouldnt have been able to move. Shaugn Watson (@TheWat1734) Its common sense, and everyone will eventually reach that conclusion. Extend the netting. Now.
