Sure, let's suck Tootsie Pops on-field during games

[Ruminator]

Does Chisholm have diabetes or something? Either way, where is that Tootsie Pop going to go when he collides head-on with a baserunner or with another infielder vying to catch a shallow pop-up? Don't think we'll be seeing this again!

Beyond disrespectful? Yeah ok
Damn, people have become soft. People love to get worked up. Is it stupid? Sure. But talk about being extra dramatic.

Ever seen the movie "Executive Decision" with Kurt Russell, Halle Berry and the great Steven Seagal? You never know when you're going to need to disarm a bomb.

Its just not professional from a dude who has a big mouth, makes millions and seems to take constant balls... to the balls. While performing... less than stellar

It gives off a whoe gives a sht vibe honestly. Based on his fielding ability im surprised that thing didn't get lodged in his throat sometime during the game for a stopage.

Doesn't even look like he wants to be out there half the time. NY won't let that slide honestly just based on their history

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I guess so. Meh.

Guys chew and eat seeds, how’s this much different? Because it has a little cardboard stick?

 

[Crizilla]

I was gonna say the same. Is it really that different than chewing gum and spitting seeds? Btw I'm old school when it comes to baseball I hate a lot of modern things about the game. I think this is a nothing burger though.

Based on.... literal any kind of.. common sense... yes? Are you ******* serious? no.. I cannot take you serious..
Literally brain dead correlation ... period

Run with a rock, or run with a knife... Don't raise children.. ever

Yes... it is.. if you possess brain cells.. It is a nothing burger.. until he gets it jammed into his head .. like all the balls into his groin because of all of his awareness

He's a grown man. He can make his own decisions. Big problem with society is everyone trying to worry about other people's decisions and control them. Players always say they love baseball because you're a grown adult playing a kid's game. He's not hurting or affecting anything.

There is this new thing called spitting it out if you have to dive or run towards a wall. I know that might be foreign to you, since it’s tough to spit anything out while wearing a mast when you’re alone in your car. Besides baseball is so slow he probably didn’t have to move to make a play for 2-3 innings.

If my team was 48 and 32 with a run diff of +110. My second baseman can have what ever in his mouth.

I'm more aggravated by all these starting pitchers coming up now who are ALWAYS throwing out of the stretch. It's irritating. You turn on a game in the third inning & you have no idea if the guy on the mound is a reliever or not, or you turn it on in the first inning & assume there are runners on, but with the Mariners offense, there obviously aren't.

You'll shoot your eye out!

I watch the Yankees every night the Yankee announcers were talking about it the next night supposedly Boone had a talk with him about the incident I doubt it happens again

 

[Ruminator]

Some are defending Chisholm with things like What's the big deal, or You're overreacting, or Leave him alone he's not hurting anything, or How's that any different than chewing on sunflower seeds? To me, it looks almost as bad as showing the world most of your underwear in public places because you think it's fashionable to keep your pants low enough to never have to unzip to pee.

Not sure that wine glass is big enough to snag a shallow pop-up. Spaghetti will have to do.

Precisely the reason for the OP. Imagine a stick in his mouth at the moment of collision.
