Dad’s Take on Kodai Senga

Look at this guy flailing around like he's trying to swat a fly instead of pitch a baseball! Eleven seasons in Japan and he comes to New York looking like he's about to fall over backwards – no wonder the Mets signed him, they love pitchers who look like they're already injured. That windup looks more dangerous to himself than any batter!
