and to sd's points: yes, lil sd chose well. they are whipping tremendous ass and have been for like the last month and half or so. i'm not going to go so far as to say they are "lovable" (aside from Altuve he's the TLBL of MLB) but they are not easy to hate. i'm not sure any of the current players have faces that are especially punchable (see: correa, springer, bregman, to a lesser extent tucker)? its kind of weird that we're coming up on a whole ass decade since trashcangate and people are still really mad like sir your child who is yelling obsceneties literally wasn't even born when this happened, what are you even doing?
