No shit it’s not a “statement of fact”. That’s my point. I guess that doesn’t bother anybody else?

Haha, yeah, human decency. Hilarious!

And your “source” is... who, exactly?

That’s better. Good luck on your future reading comprehension endeavors.

The eye patch is because he’s in the fucking hospital, not because he plays for the Pirates, moron. Maybe turn off your caps lock and read the article?

Exactly. Thank you.

Believe me, I get it now. This isn’t the kind of place I thought it was. Feel free to keep spreading bullshit about people you’ve never met. Skip Bayless would be proud!

Yeah asking for confirmation on a total lie means I “cannot be serious”. Not the guy who’s making up bullshit. Clearly I’m the problem.

Seriously? It’s not like he’s going to make the majors anyway. He’s just a kid who wants to play baseball, who cares what team it is?

If making up garbage rumors about innocent people is what passes for “funny” here, then yeah, apparently not.

I agree, he seems like a good guy.

What’s supposed to be funny about ruining this kid’s reputation? You think he’s not happy just to be playing at all?

Yeah, pretty pathetic. Great job everyone, make this kid look like an asshole for no reason!

Yeah, it’s extremely funny to make up rumors about some kid who lost an eye in a freak accident. Great joke, you guys are hilarious.

Oh cool, I’m a “joke” because I asked for a source on some BS rumor. Great standards for reporting here.

You’re the second person to post that at me. Some kind of Deadspin inside joke? Hilarious.

what are you pointing at, the zero Kinja stars on your post?

...that’s your source? a picture of the Pirates logo?

Patch up what? I haven’t heard of any issues between this kid and the organization. Pulling things out of your *ss again?

I haven’t heard anything about that. Since when do single-A players “demand trades”? Got a source?
