I am not sure to what degree 2,000 year old wisdoms from scriptures can readily be applied to running a billion dollar entertainment vehicle in 2025. The fastest social media back then was a guy on a horse shouting really loud while riding through the streets. [Disclaimer: I'm an atheist and guilty of several prohibitions that end with "should be put to death" as early as the book of Exodus, so I like to get my guidance elsewhere. Your mileage may vary and that is fine. ]

As a fan of discipline and law and order in general, I think Snitker was right in 2019 and failed this time. I didn't do research however down to the level of "how many warm bodies were left on the bench" and such. If you only have your backup catcher and a guy with a throbbing knee left on the bench late in a game, that might influence when you bring the hammer down on an offender.

That aside, I don't understand for the life of me why Snitker would say that he didn't watch the Kelenic play. Isn't that his whole job to begin with??
