MLB Twitter reacts to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm getting into war of words with podcaster Jared Carrabis: "If he pitches bet the over"

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm spent some time on Twitter arguing with famous podcaster Jared Carrabis over a matter of personal opinion. Carrabis was using his platform to criticize Boston Red Sox pitcher Kaleb Ort, going so far as to say he 'sucks'. Strahm, a former teammate of Ort's, took offense to this and struck back. Strahm's larger point is that no player in MLB can possibly 'suck'.Neither person is really wrong in this debate, as it is a matter of how relative you look at baseabll. Nobody who reaches the big leagues is bad at baseball compared to the thousands, or even millions, who try and never will. However, compared to other MLB players, some are clearly better than others. Playing in the league comes with a lot of pressure, so it is surprising dustups like this are rare.Jared Carrabis@Jared_CarrabisWell, he’s a minor league baseball player. twitter.com/mattstrahm/sta…Matt Strahm@MattStrahm@Jared_Carrabis No Major League Baseball player sucks at baseball end of story137017@Jared_Carrabis No Major League Baseball player sucks at baseball end of storyWell, he’s a minor league baseball player. twitter.com/mattstrahm/sta…Jared Carrabis@Jared_CarrabisMy brother in Christ, nobody…and I mean NOBODY…has said more positive things about Kaleb Ort in the history of human existence than me.

Sometimes being an analyst or baseball personality means you have to be a tough critic, even on your favorite team's players. MLB fans were divided on whom to support on this one, because both sides have good points.Alex Robbins@arobb_007@Jared_Carrabis Damn Jared, struck a nerve with all these facts5@Jared_Carrabis Damn Jared, struck a nerve with all these factsMax@Maxairjordan1@Jared_Carrabis If he pitches bet the over@Jared_Carrabis If he pitches bet the overSteven@svandez1234@Jared_Carrabis Jared’s biggest crime: loving too hard and caring too much.

Guess in @MattStrahm’s eyes he can’t win.Jared Carrabis is part of a new wave of analysts who cover baseball, and his style rubs some the wrong way. His content is very personality and opinion driven, and can sometimes lead to clashes like this. In the past, writers would go painstakingly far to avoid biases, now some people actively seek them out. The affect this will have on the industry, and the sport at large, is still playing out before us.Jordan Gaudette@GhostWinsHis1@Jared_Carrabis Out here crapping on the one dude who doesnt talk crap about anyone.

It cannot be easy to see these people who cover the league pass judgement on yourself and your teammates. Opening up these discussions to the Twitter audience is where things get dicey.jayscott@JayScott1188@Jared_Carrabis Carrabis taking all the smoke from big leaguers he used to root for@Jared_Carrabis Carrabis taking all the smoke from big leaguers he used to root forRob Johnson@jrobj@Jared_Carrabis Why is Strahm so sensitive?@Jared_Carrabis Why is Strahm so sensitive?birdzthaword@birdzthatword@Jared_Carrabis Phillies players just as soft as their fans??2@Jared_Carrabis Phillies players just as soft as their fans??Matt Strahm took time out of his day to engage with Jared Carrabis; how much of an impact it has remains to be seen.Matt Strahm has been off to an incredible start to 2023 season and doesn't need to worry about Jared CarrabisSeattle Mariners v Philadelphia PhilliesMatt Strahm currently has an ERA of 2.73 after 33 innings pitched this season.
