Weird commentary. Super in depth discussion of Loisiga's repertoire and then Springer gets "Springer played his college ball at UConn".
Maybe maybe no. From the article: The fan filed suit, and a jury found in the Royals' favor. The Missouri state Supreme Court, however, in 2014 returned the case to a local court, stating that "the risk of injury from Sluggerrr's hotdog toss is not one of the risks inherent in watching the Royals play baseball." "This risk can be increased, decreased or eliminated altogether with no impact on the game or the spectators' enjoyment of it," the court said. "As a result, Sluggerrr (and, therefore, the Royals) owe the fans a duty to use reasonable care in conducting the Hotdog Launch and can be held liable for damages caused by a breach of that duty." ... Houston trial lawyer Joel Simon said the lawsuit raises the intriguing question of whether T-shirts, hot dogs or "other flying objects" are part of the game as balls and bats. "This isn't a fan hit by a foul ball or home run, it's a fan hit during something other than the game itself. So the question may be, when the offending object comes from a mascot in a fuzzy costume rather than (Jose) Altuve hitting one into the Crawford Boxes — can that make a difference legally?" Simon said.
Me thinks his overall greatness and discipline gets to pitchers heads. Also, his cockiness, everyday, intimidates the hell out of them.
