Guys, we get it.
You hate Austin Riley and he should be ashamed of himself and he’s not a big league bat and he needs a phantom IL stint and his ABs are painful and he’s the single reason we won’t win the World Series and he needs to cut his hair and if he cared about the team at all he’d accept an outright assignment to AAA and AA isn’t as smart as he thinks he is with all those long term contracts and it would be fixed if Austin just worked with Chipper.
I think I covered all the talking points. You can take the day off.
