Continually amazed how Shohei is either the most bonkers elite wizard athlete to ever play this game OR he looks like it’s the first time he’s ever played in a baseball game and is trying to figure it out as he goes along It’s an incredible combo

@caitoz So many of our common aphorisms too (“an honest day’s work”, “take pride in what you do”) that are embedded in culture do not serve the self as much as they serve meeting a bottom line and rationalizing exploitation of labor with substandard compensation plus mobility paralysis.
