Patrick Corbin Gets A Well Deserved Ovation From The Fans
Highlighted the game today. Mm-hmm, Ovation for Corbin. That was neat We talked about it on Nat's post game just a few minutes ago, but it was a I thought a respectable moment from the fan base and it was a prideful moment for me one of those This is a good look for us. Mm-hmm like I saw Bobby Whit Jr. In the Royals dug out I was behind the uh visitors dug out a handful of rows up with the kids And I saw them kind of talking to each other and like pointing over toward Corbin They're probably going what in the hell's this about this guy just pitched a mediocre game and has an era of about six But i'm sure somebody knew what was going on. Yeah, final start final year six-year contract helped win the world series two players left And he's the easiest punching bag in the world and i've been taking some of the swings I get it. I think we all have taken our turns. Yeah jokes right themselves, but If I could be an old man for a second and get on my soapbox At a time in sports and in life when the little things have never mattered less showing up Caring about doing your job like the stuff your dad talked about your curmudgeonly uncle, you know Gives the millennials prop, you know guff about Just punching the time card and saying you're going to be somewhere at the right time and then showing up before you're supposed to be there And never screwing anybody over like the baseball version of those things is what patrick Corbin did now It didn't pitch well enough. That's his crime and I totally get that It was bad for the last count them five years. He was the worst pitcher in baseball if 2019 didn't happen Then we could have a different conversation, but it did it and everyone says well, it was the worst pitcher Yeah, I mean there were other pictures that were worse and there are other pictures pictures who were equally as bad Who never pitched as much as him so you don't know it Because they were terrible and the team said kick rocks or they were terrible and got sent down or they were terrible and got cut And in Corbin's case because of his contract like top gun They just kept sending him up And I think it's admirable to just kind of keep taking the assignment. No, and you can't fly the jet Yeah, I mean you got Cases a month ago or so where david martinez is going Yeah, no matter what patrick Corbin's throwing 100 pitches tomorrow because the bullpens wiped out how lonely a feeling is that? You know you have lost it. You don't have it. You know, it's not going to go well And there's going to be thousands of people watching you booing you're angry at you as you just keep standing on that mound all by Yourself getting shelled or not. It's it's lonely out there. There's nobody coming to help you Um, yeah, the the level of professionalism. I think is is important. It was a good example for for his teammates They they adore him Understandably he also he knows white made a huge donation of the nats youth academy that there's a scoreboard now That's in his family's name Uh, that's that's part of it. So if you name it the grant and danny scoreboard on our behalf I think he named it, uh, maybe it's the Corbin scoreboard. I don't know weird choice Yeah, should have gone with the grant and danny nice youth academy scoreboard For like the four interviews we did with them. Yeah, a couple times you talk to him in spring training that time over six years
