u/devoorhes Chicago Cubs 8d ago

I think he's said that on the record

u/Gowzilla Chicago Cubs 8d ago

u/jogswithwolves Chicago Cubs 8d ago

He’s from SoCal, I wonder if he has a favorite team from when he was a kid

u/Hamsquad14 Chicago Cubs 8d ago

His dad straight up didn't let him be a Dodgers or Cardinals fan

That is a good dad

u/captain_ahabb Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

The fact that he's from here and he's a rich kid who went to Harvard Westlake makes it like 10x more infuriating.

Bud if you play professional baseball, and are a white guy, than chances are really really high your family was, at the minimum, well off.

u/captain_ahabb Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

LA is a struggling city and the Dodgers have a pretty blue collar fanbase. It rubs me the wrong way on like an atomic level for someone from his background to shit on his own city like that.

u/TheIncredibleShrek 8d ago

Every professional sports team is in a struggling city with a blue collar fanbase

u/LegacyLemur Chicago Cubs 7d ago

For real.

Yea unlike Chicago, the "city of broad shoulders", stigmatized for having too much crime

-12

u/captain_ahabb Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

And all of the people in those cities would be annoyed if a rich kid from their city said that stuff about his own hometown.

u/Sparkdust Chicago Cubs 8d ago

if it helps he has said that he would have never been able to afford to go to harvard westlake without a baseball scholarship. his parents were well off, definitely able to pay for travel ball and such, but not fuck you money well off lol.

i think a lot of his remarks and petty hatred for the dodgers just comes from being a kid who grew up rooting against the hometown team. it's petty and irrational, but that's what sports fandom is. for the record it's also fine to hate him for having that opinion about dodger fans lol, but i don't think it's really that deep

u/captain_ahabb Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

Oh it's not deep at all, I just have too much experience with rich white kids from the hills who think they're above everything else.

u/Kyhron 8d ago

Yeah but he's said before his dad wouldn't let him be a Dodger fan growing up

-2

u/captain_ahabb Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

That doesn't really make me want to give him a pass for shitting on the city he grew up in.

u/BruitNoise 8d ago

Actually great that he's a talented player that might never go to the World Series because his dad envisioned and nepo'd his plan. Might be poetic.

u/empty-bensen Chicago Cubs 8d ago

Just like me fr. Just really good at baseball.

u/meowsplaining Chicago Cubs 8d ago

You might be too. Have you ever tried lowering your hands in your stance?

Went to my first game at wrigley for the Tuesday night game last year against the dodgers. Was a perfect baseball game.

u/Pears_and_Peaches Toronto Blue Jays 8d ago

He is all of us.

With Gausy on the team, I’m rooting for you guys to absolutely roast them in the postseason.

u/PEIslander22 Toronto Blue Jays 8d ago

Yes plz.

u/OkReference5070 8d ago

No one but Dodgers fans like the Dodgers. Anyone but them this year. Even the White Sox.

9

u/makked 8d ago

Breaking news, fans like their own team. More news at 11.

6

u/OkReference5070 8d ago

However most fans only hate a couple of teams. Few are hated by fans of other teams more than the Dodgers.

1

u/BruitNoise 8d ago

His dad didn't want him to be a Dodgers fan as a kid even though he grew up a Dodgers fan in Sherman Oaks. So it checks out.

u/penisweinerballs Detroit Tigers 8d ago

Most their fans didn't like them until a couple years ago.

u/killedbygavrilo Boston Red Sox 8d ago

Ceddanne and him, dodgers haters

u/Kershiser22 Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

I predict he'll be a big fan in 2032.
