But when we abstract away the baseball specifics of it, maybe you can see how suggesting someone is pro-management/anti-worker/anti-consumer fits the idea of being aware and critical of injustices/inequalities. Now obv I can't and won't speak for Jarrett as to why he thinks it's a flimsy argument

Woke broadly refers to being aware of social injustices created by people in positions of power. Stuff like racial, gender and economic inequality applies here. The economics of management in baseball (ppl in power), the players (workers) and fans (consumers) has been a topic of discussion forever

Remember when he started DJ Stewart and Eddy Alvarez last September because there was a righty on the mound lmao

"They just didn't want it enough"
