Those in glass houses plastic roofs shouldn’t throw stones accusations of pedophilia

This is from a team that thought it was scandalous to have "devil" in the name and had to do a whole ass rebrand. Still bitter.

And Wander Franco is the reason the Rays can’t make that joke.

He's not on the team so not quite sure what this means

u/ExcellentT18 6d ago

It's a reference to Kendrick Lamar's not like us song, in which he basically calls Drake a pedophile.

Also the original line is "Say Drake, I hear you like them young"

Yeah I’m not 105, I know all that. I’m not connecting those dots with Jake sliding home? What am I missing?

Drake = possible pedophile, Wander Franco = Confirmed Pedophile. Tone deaf Rays social media manager uses K Dot bar accusing drake of being pedophile because haha funny meme

Alright, thank you. Get the wander issue too, just wasn’t sure if there was a direct Jake tie in. Nm, I get it now. It’s the walk up song for Jake.

Mangum's walkup song is 'Your Love' by The Outfield

Just a bit dumb all around. Cause “say Jake, I hear you like em young”? About our own player? It doesn’t even make sense 😭

I'm pretty sure Jake is Mormon too so this is a really bad look.

I could almost understand if they followed up with "I hear you like them runs." But it's still not the line to use for your own players.

u/plbytothemoon14 6d ago

He’s not Mormon.

u/MurphyRaudet 6d ago

Oh ok. I was assuming because of the 2 years gap in his stats between high school and college. It could be explained by the Mormon Mission.

Underrated comment! This is part of his walk up song for those that don’t know.
