I'm sure not a single person on this forum thinks that way except you.
Yes, because I’m totally the one who has been actively rooting against some of this team’s best players for years now in this thread.
Only a sick and demented person would wish injury on anybody, and who would think people would enjoy anybody getting hurt. These are human beings at the end of the day, and it goes beyond sport. I can guarantee you nobody is happy that Varsho is hurt. That includes me, since I suffered a serious hamstring injury when I was in university and I do not wish it on nobody. The only person who was actively rooting against any players was "You". Look back at your posts from the 2023 season, and especially the Playoffs where you continuously trashed and downplayed the achievements of both Gurriel (who was an all-star in 2023) and Moreno (who won the Gold Glove, looked like Barry Bonds in the Playoffs, and was Number 1 in Defensive War as a Rookie). Same thing last year when you called Moreno a Scrub and "light-hitting" Fraud, and Gurriel's game overrated countless times (even though they had better hitting seasons than the guys you love Kirk and Varsho in both 2023 and 2024). It is not rooting against Varsho, when you point out that he was horrific offensively in 2023 (Atrocious OPS of .674 which even light-hitting Moreno surpassed). Varsho was one of the worst hitting everyday MLB players in 2023. Same thing in 2024, when he was hitting below .200 for 5 months after his hot start, while in May of last year you were making your All-Star projections for him in 2024.
It is not rooting against someone when you point out the facts, and how Varsho's terrible On Base/Batting Average for the past two years takes away from his great defensive abilities. It was not only me, but reputable MLB writers and Toronto writers who called the Deal a Clear Win for Arizona in Year 1 and still a Win in Year 2. With all the lavish praise of Kirk right now, Moreno who is making 11 million less than Kirk with his salary at $793,000- still has one more homer than him, a higher OPS/SLG than Kirk, and scores better than him in various defensive metrics. However, just two weeks ago I said if Varsho continues to hit with power the way he has for the coming months, and Kirk reverts back to 2022 Kirk for the rest of the year as well- than I will be the first to say so. I was not a fan of acquiring Overrated Santander in free agency and the almost 100 million man Ryan Goins 2.0 Gimenez (like how thrilled you were), but I still do not wish injury on them. Only a sick person would think that others are happy that any player is hurt. This is only a game, while serious injuries are about a person's everyday well being
(which matters way more in life than a baseball game, and nobody should wish injury on anybody).
