The people you are referring to are people that didn't read what he actually said and come to bogus conclusions. Maybe they aren't important anyways.

I'm not sure if you realize how the world seems to work now, but that's 90% of the population that has the attention span of reading headlines and tweets.

Does that 90% really mean anything ? The important part is what the pros think, not a bunch of random posters. For reference, Law pointed out that it was his first game back from a wrist injury and therefore was giving him a pass on the slow bat. He was reporting not only what he saw but the likely cause. Any other conclusions you people are drawing is bogus.

Yes, Mayer. The reference was made in response to the Mayer video.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC
