Ben Zobrist: Righteous Dude

[CubinNY]

All this evidence makes me think there is a conspiracy afoot and they wants us to think he is a creepy weirdo so he must not be. #spare-change/spare-glove

His clean-cut choir boy look is troublesome. Jeffrey Dahmer was exactly like that.

All I'm saying is their MAY be a correlation between "playing the game the right way" and missing person reports. Be vigilant

Guys; you're getting sidetracked; as previously said, nobody has an issue with Ben Zobrist: productive player. What we are looking for is the elusive proof that he is not a creepy weirdo.

It's a fruitless endeavor to find that proof for it does not exist.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

and praise Jebus, I'm ok with that

Alright, alright. Back to the search. Ok, let's see, maybe he went to a cool college....

 

He started out at Olivet Nazarene University and then transferred to Dallas Baptist University after originally considering attending Calvary Bible College.

 

Mojo, this search will bear no fruit even if it lasts for a millennium. You must call it off.

This evidence adds to mojo's theory.

If you want crazy weirdo follow his wife on twitter, she always has crazy eyes, in like every picture she's ever posted. I guess she has "resting psycho face".

Indeed. Late 30's youth minister dude with gel in his hair and an earring hanging out with the teens.

If Ben Zobrist can muster an OBP of .380 over the life of his contract he's welcome to come to my house and read bible verses to me as I drift off to sleep.

 

Which is what I imagine he'd like to do for all fans.

Home Run Jesus

[Post Count Padder]

A couple years ago at the trade deadline, he went around hugging teammates in the dugout during a game, putting everyone on trade alert. Turns out he was just trolling reporters.

 

I also recall during the roster introductions at the all star game a couple years ago, they got to Matt Moore and announced "Ben Zobrist" instead and Moore looked lost and surprised and Zobrist had an impish grin on his face like he was behind it.

 

Seems like a prankster and doesn't take himself seriously, even if he may be a religious nut.

Yeah, ultra religious Jesus freaks can have a sense of humor. I have an uncle who is a Tea Party lovin' born again Christian, and even he can pull off a decent prank every once in a while. Then again, it might be due to residual damage from all the drugs he used to do.

[Sammy Sofa]

These don't sound like very good pranks. People were probably mad at him.

sir, there's only one God, our Lord and Savior. do you have a few minutes to talk about Him

[Sammy Sofa]

What if he ends up on the DL and tries to pray the pain away and we end up with a Prince-situation on our hands?

Joe wanted him over a beautiful Starlin Castro. Thats all I need to know.

Ugh! There's nothing beautiful about Castro, and you can be sure the front office preferred Zobrist to Castro as well. Say what you want about Zobrist, at least he's capable of fielding a routine grounder without being distracted by the sky.

 

your jerkiness makes me hate agreeing with you so much

the fact that starlin could get distracted by the sky enough to misplay balls was part of his charm and why i loved him so much. i always felt like he couldn't help it and so you just had to love him despite it. i am happy with zobrist but i still miss castro. : (

One of the weirdest, socially awkward people I've ever met is a guy that's currently on my team at work, and he commutes from Eureka every day. I can only assume, with the evidence available, that Eureka is a breeding ground for weirdos.
