Big league cheddar right in the kisser.

Turns out backing up Adley Rutchsman is enough motivation to stay in any game.

Which is a pretty hard bunch to win over historically speaking and notwithstanding this abysmal 2024 season.

Point is he’s on a short list of guys that eat fastballs for breakfast.

Just a couple but again - short list.

I’m not really sure how many active players are taking the field in a late July game.

Honestly there might be 3 and I’d be interested to know who you think they are.

For now, I guess hat tip to James McCann?

Otherwise most of the baseball world is likely cheering for him myself included.

Also way too much facial trauma for this to be a hardo move.

At some point you’re just a hard guy and that’s James McCann.

I am convinced that’s a tier-1 factor in enjoying a big comedy.

If that makes sense.Go ahead an roll it.

PPS - Seriously though when Adley gets the day, off he gets the day off.

That easily makes Brian McCann a tremendous backup catcher.
