#matt shoemaker

Something about the “smiling pre-surgery hospital pics” really melts the old heart, doesnt it? Cant wait to see both these lovely guys back in playing form

(Travis’ pic is from 2015, Shoemaker’s from this week)

Matt Shoemaker made four starts for my team this year. FOUR. 

And I’d totally jump in front of a herd of bulls if he was in danger of being trampled. 

This guy is still limping his ass out to the bullpen every game so he can walk in with the other pitchers, he’s still celebrating at the plate after a walkoff (evidence), he’s still posting optimistic speeches on Twitter, and strolling around the Dome, meeting fans and being delightful when he has EVERY RIGHT to have taken off home to his wife, kids, and dog, to lick his wounds and feel sorry for himself.

I mean, how can you help but root for a guy like that? 

Ok if I wasn’t already crying about Shoemaker’s post about his ACL, I’d be crying after he liked my reply
