Someone else pinned it on ire over fantasy baseball stats…there goes the Giolito extension. But wouldn’t his dad be more vocal about this on Twitter if Lucas was targeted?

I haven't seen any confirmation that it was Giolito, but I can't think of anybody else who would be a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I thought he was referring to the Astro/Dodgers series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect meant -- but how do you have 2480 posts and and 1 rep. It had to be purged by a mod or something right?? Edit: Nvm - see how old your account is, I assume almost all your posts are "pre-rep" Edited August 6, 2021 by DoUEvenShift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It’s because, I’ve won multiple “Soxtalk Fantasy Baseball” championships and went out on top. I had young kids and they Sox blocked me. Finally have the time to post again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxSteve Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 15 hours ago, IWokeUpLikeThis said: My brother is a pro athlete in another sport. I read absolutely nothing online/social media about him or his team because online sports fans can be so aggressive. Fortunately, he's well liked by his team's fan base and that fan base is generally nice, but many other athletes are not as lucky. Of course, even if 97% of comments are positive, it's human nature to have that negative 3% stuck in your head. I think a lot of pro athletes suffer from mental health because of toxic online fans. Another thing is there's women (called puck bunnies in hockey, not sure what they're called in other sports) who congregate on sites like Tumblr to "gossip" (more like invade) the personal lives of athletes. They literally make shit up about the athlete's (and sometimes the SO) personal life that's defamatory. I’ve had a couple buckle bunnies in my day, lol. Women who follow rodeos riders in case anyone wanted to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the constant criticism of his catching skills or lack thereof, it is one thing to make a critical comment or two and it's another to beat a dead horse. He doesn't appear to have the skills to be a MLB catcher, we all get it. Do you really need to kick a guy when he is down? You're too nice to post here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Giolito is going to not sign somewhere because of dipshits on the internet he may have to consider retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
