Let’s set the stage here for a moment. Former Met and Yankee Kyle Farnsworth took to Twitter to criticize an unnamed baseball player for taking the day off with “general soreness.”
So I just saw that a MLB player didn’t play today because of general soreness. Are you kidding me. It’s September. Everyone is sore. If you can’t play through soreness, you shouldn’t be playing the sport. SMH!

On its face, the complaint is something that retired players in every sport echo — this next generation is soft.
