I used to like Erasmo Ramirez. For a lot of reasons.
He didn’t look the part. I root for guys like that.
He threw strikes. He threw slow. He threw a lot of pitches, none of which went straight. I root for guys like that.
They need to use the entire kitchen sink to beat you. The other team doesn’t think you should be able to beat them, and when you do, it just feels good. I root for guys like that.
Guys like that remind me of myself. I can identify with it. I’m partial.
