The comment was obviously sarcastically made in the context of some obscene hazing ritual... but go ahead and keep randomly insulting people around here. ?

Nick would fit right in with Eloy saying he’ll be the MVP and calling Robert Mike Trout. Moncada making music videos. TA declaring himself the best SS in the league. I’m guessing they aren’t near this petty to have any issues. Moreover they like to have fun. The comment was crazy, reacting to it like this was very natural from a tight group.

March 6, 20215 yr I will be accepting apologies for Mazzadrigal after he leads the league in singles. I just read the Free Press ST hype for Nomar so I am a little giddy right now.

March 6, 20215 yr Two nice updates late in the second hour of Inside the Clubhouse today: Bruce Levine reiterated the club's commitment to both Kopech and Crochet being considered eventual Starting Pitchers, targeting 1-2 + innings a few times a week to stretch them out and either send one or both down to convert to SPs in the second half, or stretch them enough this year in bullpen roles to roll out in 2022. Discussed conversations between the clubs and the Mayor over the past few weeks allowing up to 12,000 fans perhaps as early as April.
March 7, 20215 yr From what I understand, Reylo really preplexed 'em with his slow ball: Two innings, six batters and six outs, no base runners.

Tony La Russa said they will prioritize multi-inning outings for Michael Kopech, while Garrett Crochet is viewed as “a valuable part of the final third of the game” and thus see more single-inning work— James Fegan (@JRFegan) March 6, 2021

Crochet may turn out to be limited to bullpen work long term due to health / arm limitations, but I hope he is given at least a shot to start next season if health permits. 5-6 innings per start is much more valuable than 2-3 relief innings per week long term. Tony’s focus is to “win today”, but it must be balanced by FO considerations for today and the future, especially for top prospects with high ceilings. Also “more” doesn't exclude multi-inning appearances. If Crochet pitches a full season in the bullpen healthy and hits 80 + innings this season, he can still convert to a starter for a good portion of 2022. It’s much easier and cheaper to replace Crotchet in the bullpen than to sign a starter with equivalent ability.

Hendricks was one of them. With both Hendricks and Bummer on this team, there’s no way that there are that many innings available for a middle reliever.
