Fowler Goes 0 for 5. Shut the F Up, Critics.

Fowler had an ugly night at the plate, striking out 3 times in an 0 for 5 outing.

Spin: Holy shit, I can hear the critics already. "He's coming back down to earth." "This is the beginning of Fowler's normalization." "Foul outing by Fowler." Get an effing grip, folks. There's loads of good news within this shitty stat. First, Fowler overcame his sore hip quickly, missing only 1 game. Second, he left no one on base. Third, Fowler was facing Alex Cobb. That's right, Alex F'ing Cobb. The guy's Ty Cobb's grandson, for crying out loud. Look up his stats. The guy has been lights out all year, and he was probably rubbing avocado grease on Fowler's bat before the game. If you just read that and thought it was a sexual innuendo, you disgust me, you F'ing critic.
