Btw, just to add to the Jensen Lewis hate. Yesterday, during the pre-game, he commented on Trevor May's HR he surrendered, saying basically "Dude, you're up 0-2 in the count, stop throwing a breaking ball when you can throw 98 mph."

I wanted to reach through the TV and punch that smug idiot. Like, where does he get off telling other relievers how to do their job... especially when the take he has is stupid to begin with? Jensen, you were a shitty major league pitcher who never accomplished anything. You only played 4 years in the majors. You weren't talented, you weren't intelligent, and you weren't around long enough to have veteran insight to pass down to others.

I have no problem with commentators who don't have any credentials. They're definitely not required for the job and don't usually add anything. But if you're going to talk down to other professional athletes based on your credentials that you don't even have? That makes you an asshole.

I'd love for the fans to start getting on him in person. He's already shown he can't take it.

I was watching the Twins vs Mets game yesterday afternoon and their commentators (who are sooo sure the Twins have the division on lock btw) said basically the same thing. They had no idea why May threw Carlos that breaking ball.

About two minutes later, May had another hitter down in the count 0-2 or 1-2 off some nasty heat. They were urging him to stick with the heat and he threw another breaking ball that got hammered, and started the Mets curb stomping over the Twins. They were beside themselves at the pitch selection and felt he lost the game for them with the breaking ball.

Jensen is a tool, but he’s far from the only one who is saying that about May, fwiw.
