"Do I Look Like An Actual Cleanup Hitter" - Jazz Chisholm To Marlins Fans Complaining About Him Bunting

While the baseball season is known to be a marathon filled with many ups and downs, that doesn't always sit well with the fans when trouble is afoot. For those who watch every single day, they may approach the long haul as 162 one-game seasons. We wanna win everyday and when our teams lose it's fucking miserable.  It's a sickness honestly, and I'm not immune. 

To very little surprise the Miami Marlins have not begun the 2023 MLB season setting the world on fire. A 3-5 record from a team with a 75.5 win total o/u to begin the year sounds just about right. Naturally Miami fans haven't been handling it well. Miami OF Jazz Chisholm Jr. made a terrible choice and took to Twitter to interact with the fans ready to set themselves on fire. There's nothing wrong with fan engagement whatsoever, but Twitter is a special kind of hellscape I'd advise everyone to avoid. 

It's no panicking when you know you have ownership like Miami and are hopeless. 

"Babe Ruth is rolling over in his grave" made me laugh.

I mean spot the lie though. 5'11" 184 lb Jazz is far from what you'd picture a clean up hitter to look like. If there's one thing I appreciate from an athlete off the field it's honesty. Let's call a spade a spade, Jazz Chisholm should not be hitting cleanup for the Fish. You see a guy like Jorge Soler on their team and that's probably your man. Jazz probably shouldn't be in center either, but with their influx of infielders that's where they got him. The Marlins just don't have a lot going for their lineup so they have to do things a bit differently. 

Not great. 

Now a player of Chisholm's caliber can get away with that kind of comment because he plays in the Miami market. Imagine if someone like Lindor or Judge said this in New York? It would probably lead SportsCenter. With the Marlins they can just do their thing and it'll be yesterday's news in minutes. I'm sure he gets a talking to and be told to chill, but he'll be fine. 

I will say, at the 30 game mark if the Marlins are sliding it'll be absolute scenes on Elon's app. What a tweet. 

Make that 40…

Told ya he'd get a talking to. 

My best and honest advice would be to just delete your Twitter app all together. None of this is worth it. The team isn't going to be good and reading the negative stuff will only make it worse. Again, I love how he's in there mixing it up with the fans, that's pretty cool. I hope they turn it around somehow and he's able to tell everyone he told them so.
