The Chicago White Sox starting rotation has emerged as a bright spot early in the season, allowing just two earned runs over 28.2 innings. However, the team's TV announcer, John Schriffen, caused a stir by dismissing social media coverage, including accolades from Pitching Ninja. Schriffen's contentious relationship with social media stems from harsh criticism from fans, which he once addressed publicly. He noted that he no longer reads or listens to comments about himself, suggesting a desire to focus on his job rather than online opinions.
It's not that Schriffen hates Pitching Ninja - it's that he more or less hates social media in general.
A lot of (the pushback) was early on and I was still listening to and reading a lot of things about myself.
This is undoubtedly a bright spot for a team that was supposed to look like- and may still be - trash.
Schriffen's response was seemingly to immediately dismiss it all - which Friedman noticed, of course.
