It's really a shame Cassie can't go, think we would have seen a lot of Owen in RF and lot less of Suzuki in the lineup.

Seiya's splits pre and post all-star are legit hard to fathom. Just a complete disappearing act.

Has to be a top 5 worst starting position player.

If Tucker and possibly Cassie both weren't injured I wonder if serious thought would be given to leaving Suzuki off the playoff roster?

I guess it was too much to ask just don’t get swept.  Bears looked great today.  I’m going to pretend this series didn’t happen.

Just so it's on the record, Shaw is several years younger than Kirk and they do not share hometowns or any other connection to suggest they were actually personal friends. Not saying it's impossible, there's just no evidence of it.

[Michael Busch Light]

Get Shaw off this team.  That’s horsefeathers ridiculous 

[javy knows my name]

horsefeathers fascists

They took a picture together after a game like two weeks ago. And he missed the game after he died due to personal reasons. That's why people guessed at the funeral

as far as cub drafted rookie 3b that can’t crack a .700 OPS go, I bet cam smith wasn’t at charlie kirk’s funeral 

[JHBulls]

Well, that’s enough Internet for the day.

This is pathetic 

[UMFan83]

There is no way they were actual real friends right?  Politics aside (I mean that's its own discussion), you excuse him from a game to attend the funeral of some public personality he likely hardly knows?   Pathetic... I really wish I didn't know his politics because he's a fun young player, but now I can't disassociate the connection.  

[WhyCantWeWin]

Shaw really missed the game for that lmao. He better start hitting because hes pretty unlikable otherwise

Consider the owners of the franchise and it makes sense.

So is being interested in what a pro athlete does in his off-time. I accepted you guys don't like him associated with Kirk, but move on from it already.

It’s not in his off time.  He skipped a game where we were swept to go to a rally with the most garbage humans on the planet.  He’s human garbage

No but some people seem to be obsessed with Shaw's association with Kirk. It's amusing to me.

He also missed most of a prior game on the day he died which wasn’t reported to be because of Kirk but seems pretty clear that it was at this point. If some random left winged personality died I wouldn’t be ok with a player missing 2 games either unless they were legitimately friends.

Actually you seem annoyed, even threatened by it

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I don't even blame Shaw, given his age, he probably had weirdo parents who indoctrinated him with Kirk since he was 12. Team should not have allowed it.

Given who owns the team, Tom probably flew him out there on his private jet.
