Made a post in a Reddit medical support group sub that isn’t universally true. I started by saying “this isn’t universally true. It may not apply to you and if it doesn’t, that is good!”
Wanna guess what percentage of the comments so far are angry about it not being universally true?

Everyone is talking about butt plug shirt guy, but don’t sleep on the super jacked dude behind him

A goomba from the Super Mario Brothers movie

It is a 29, Raleigh’s number

Going to the park with my 99 dildo shirt on, crossing my arms and glaring when Aaron Judge hits a home run even though I called him a dildo with my shirt.

Heather @alainnfocail.bsky.social · 7h

It’s not just a butt plug shirt. It’s a butt plug shirt with Cal Raleigh’s number on it.

Something dumbass metaphor about “plugging up the Big Dumper”

idk I wouldn’t wear a shirt with an opposing player’s number on it, personally.

Guy behind home plate has his big moment and decides to go with the Butt plug shirt

Somehow I missed the saga of Butt Plug Guy and Small Head/Jacked Up Guy during the game.

It is incredibly funny that apparently butt plug shirts do not get you kicked out of ballparks.

I acknowledge that his shoulders and arms are ridiculous but I’m SO distracted by how incredibly small his head is.
And, no, it’s not just an illusion!! Look at his head compared to those of everyone sitting around him!!

And he’s just making his pea head look even smaller!!!

why is his head so tiny

Dude a lot of us were posting in *February*, watching non roster invitees square off against each other in spring training.

Heather @alainnfocail.bsky.social · 7h

lol, a bunch of us also watch every dumb as shit spring training game our team plays too 🫣 And a bunch of minor league games.

(Not to mention watching random games between other teams. I watch so many more than 162 games per year and I know a lot of people on here watch wayyyy more than I do.)

coper kupp country @camorooni.bsky.social · 8h

how do you people do this 162 times a year?

Maybe playing a 15 inning game on the opposite coast two days ago is actually *better* than having three days off after playing a quick flight away.

Yeah that’s why my original post was

I HATE the weird Stepford Wife voice every single influencer seems to use on TikTok.
I don’t even have TikTok so I only see videos occasionally when they are posted elsewhere and I do not understand how people tolerate it.

Really sounded like he said “Satan Squeeze” the first time not safety squeeze and I went “EXCUSE?”

honestly I think my favorite broadcast crews are the ones that regularly get unhinged so I also love the Phillies booth and like the Padres booth

Heather @alainnfocail.bsky.social · 9h

I’m honestly glad Kevin doesn’t have the just a little snarky at his team thing yet because a lot of what makes our broadcast so great is how Kevin and Ben/Jim play off of each other and Ben and especially Jim can get very snarky at the team.
Kevin gets extremely unhinged though which is good

Heather @alainnfocail.bsky.social · 9h

The Angels broadcasts I have seen I have not enjoyed but I am not sure if Randazzo called them. I watched a few last season though.

Judge is an incredible baseball player but when a catcher nicknamed for his prolific posterior hits 60 homers you don't need to overthink this

I just compare everyone to Kevin Brown pretty much everyone comes up lacking.

Heather @alainnfocail.bsky.social · 9h

tbh when I say yelly that’s 80% of what I mean.

Heather @alainnfocail.bsky.social · 9h

I wonder how well it would sync to the tv….

Toward your point re how he interacts with Smoltz: I don’t know whether he doesn’t have much depth of knowledge of the sport or if he opts to “defer to the expertise of the analyst”, but either way it leads to him not giving enough ESPECIALLY in his conversations with Smoltz. Ask him questions ffs.
