yermin the vermin doesn't even work unless you mispronounce his name
Has a reporter asked if the Minnesota Twins’ feewings were hurt? That seems to be the germane issue. And an important one in baseball, that famous respecter of players’ feewings.

I love how swinging at a pitch is considered reprehensible but then throwing at a player in retribution is totally ok according to the "unwritten rules"

jeez, bill james, cut it out
In the great movie "Gran Torino", Clint Eastwood pats a young child on the head, only to learn that this is considered highly offensive in the Hmong culture. It’s an unwritten rule. We are, of course, in the middle of a controversy involving the unwritten rules. Yermin Mercedes, who is no relation to his cousin, Vermin Gran Torino . .

Anyway, the thing that has just happened, between Yermin the Vermin and Tony LaRedneck, has very close parallels in my life, your life, and everybody else’s life.
Mercedes, of course. . . and I mean no disrespect by joking about his name. . .but

If an established position player is pitching then swing all you want imo.
This is not a triple A pitcher trying to get a job in the majors and they are adding to his era in a blowout, the other team basically called in the L.

Astros broadcast just said that A's fans stand out to them because they seem to boo only players from the 2017 team, and not ALL of the current Astros like other fans do.— Gabe (@925mlbfan) May 20, 2021
