Probably never watching baseball again.

Varsho needs to lock in. Every time I watch him bat I want to tear my skin off. All he needs to do is hit the ball in the air and he grounds out.

i can hear my upstairs neighbor rn and first i thought he was having sex but i think he is actually watching the world series

Baseball is losing an audience because the rules of the sport were made for 1855.
