Last winter, I was talking to an executive from another team. I was noting that maybe Kevin Gausman, with his fastball/breaking ball mix, was better suited for the role of a closer. I thought that perhaps his days starting should end and just emphasize what he really does well. The executive chuckled and asked whether what I was saying was done without looking at what Gausman has actually done. After a pause, he continued. He said I was Wieters-ing Gausman.
What does it mean to Wieters someone? It means that the expectations you have for someone are so great that when the player fails to meet those expectations, you are unable to appreciate what they have actually accomplished.
