Man, what a week has it been. We started things off with Monday’s collective kick in the crotch, as the Astros were publicly denounced as cheaters and Jeff Luhnow and AJ Hinch were shown the door. Since then, it’s been days of speculation, rumors and crazy unsubstantiated fan theories all across the board. It’s exhausting.
Social media is both beautiful and ugly, useful yet utterly worthless. It’s given every tin-foil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist a platform, and it likewise gives certain major league pitchers (sometimes named Tyler Bauer) the opportunity to spread outright lies and disinformation.
