He's pissed that he's sucked for three years and the Browns had the audacity to look for an upgrade? Or pissed that he took to Twitter to pout to the world because he was butthurt about it? I'm not sure why he would be pissed about anything, or at anyone, but himself.
Dude did his job on the field while he was here. HUGE in Josh's development. Played with a broken leg. Caught some otherwise pretty uncatchable passes.
Now is just the right time for him to go for more than one reason.
If you want to destroy my sweater (whoa, oh, oh)
Hold this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor, lying on the floor
I've come undone
I think silence would have been far more respectable until a final decision had been made.
He's an attention w.hore who chose to publicly pout over being a professional and keeping his mouth shut.
I think you're spot on with everything you said ... especially the new target audience. Part of what I've always loved about baseball is strategy. It's what made the NL better, IMO. As the strategy continues to shift to using 5 pitchers/game to face batters who either hit HRs or strikeout, they won't lose fans like us ... but I'm not sure how many more they'll gain. I don't think it's a good business model. Making the game less-cerebral makes absolutely zero sense to me.
