Screamer Jim: I thought the account and the 2 days off part were a clear tell and people were just making fun of the replier who took it seriously

I don’t see this dril tweet so i suspect it’s fake just fyi

I thought the account and the 2 days off part were a clear tell and people were just making fun of the replier who took it seriously

Maybe! But I suspect this one's going to go viral with a lot of people taking it seriously.

:/

oops I just fell for it, before I read this. I mean, stranger things have happened, it could have been true and that’s what’s important, etc etc

Weird things happen. In 2019 Tyler Scaggs starting pitcher for the Angels died on the road. Their first home game back they pitched a combined no-hitter the day before his birthday. The last combined no-no to occur in California (there are 5 MLB teams in CA) had been in 1991 on the day he was born.

Pitching a combined no hitter the day before his birthday is meaningless

Yeah but you're a Dodger fan you can't be impartial here

It may be meaningless, but like the fake dril post, and with the other facts, it is a factor in a remarkable coincidence, which is probably what made the fake dril post seem worth attention. The baseball event actually happened. In the context of *this* event it gains meaning. Weird stuff happens.

Why would that be a clear tell?

Because that account tweets out fake dril tweets from time to time and it’s happened enough where I thought people would have caught on by now, what do you want from me

Ok I just had no context for any of it, it doesn’t seem like obviously a satire account, and weird coincidences happen all the time.
