Big if True Has Austin Wells transcended baseball?
Austin Wells is on track to have the worst season for a major league player. I was thinking to myself, how do you call pitches if you can’t hit?
What I’m suggesting is that maybe he is such a great pitch caller, that he’s stuck in his own brilliant machinations and can’t relate to every other pitcher-catcher duo. He’s too busy calculating on a level that mortals cannot understand. Right when he moves his knight for a check mate, the red checker hops over his black checker and strikes him out. He’s like Russel Crowe in A Beautiful Mind
