Never read the comments.
It’s a relatively simple rule almost none of us abide by. For A’s closer Liam Hendriks, it’s more than that.
“The comments are sometimes pretty tough,” Hendriks told NBC Sports California at the end of January. “I’m usually able to brush them off a little bit.”
That’s not always the case, however. Sometimes the words stick with him.
“I’ve been very lucky in the fact that my wife can go through and scrub them a little bit which makes it a lot easier on me because she can handle it a little bit more," Hendriks added.
