Josh Reddick Has Bizarre Enraged Twitter Reaction to MLB Shutdown Rumors
Major League Baseball was rumored to have some sort of pause or cancellation and the news became official Thursday afternoon. Spring Training is suspended, and the regular season's start been pushed back a minimum of two weeks.
In the midst of all the rumors came a pronounced but wordless response from Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick. He channeled his inner CM Punk to express his frustration.
Is Reddick just upset in general? That is fair. Hopefully, he is not someone who is downplaying the threat of coronavirus.
Unfortunately, some fans may not be giving him the benefit of the doubt considering he plays for the Astros.
It is fair for players to be upset that the season is not starting on time. The game is their life, and it will feal downright surreal and even wrong for the regular baseball schedule to go up in smoke. However, it would be wise for players just to be safe and continue to prepare for the season. The games will return one day, and everyone's health simply has to come first.
