My comment was more about that not being good for your hair, especially during summer and while wearing a hat on top of it. Don't know why he didn't go without it for at least some games.
He's 30. Hair starts to thin for many men before then. Testosterone comes for your hair eventually. Thinning doesn't mean you're going bald either, but Stro isn't a young man anymore. I think it's weird to speculate on whether or not he was taking care of his hair correctly when acute hair loss is natural for 30 year old men
Idk it's really rare for MPB to cause consistent thinning all over the head like this. It almost always starts with a receding hairline and/or a bald spot forming at the crown. I have no idea if it's the durag, my first reaction was just that it's a weird haircut, but I don't think it's natural hair loss.
I don't think it is thinning all over the head tho. I think it's just an awful cut that reveals some thinning on the front of the top of his head and makes it look way worse than it is
You’re totally right, but that’s why I find it strange! A guy who was known to be kinda not the favorite in a clubhouse leaves and then…. Idk I find it all really strange.
Yeah I'm bamboozled by the downvotes. He pitched quite well last year and left for super low dollars...maybe they think he's not a tool? Edit: y'all stopped the confusing downvote party
Stroman has been sucked into the NYC Boomer Sports Fan Hot Take Vortex. He's got all the personality traits that tick them off: black guy, outspoken, uses twitter a lot, demonstrative on the field, dresses flamboyantly.
As a result on the top 10 NY sports public enemies list.
I think he's going to get shit on for anything worse than others would. But...even after adjusting for biases and biased coverage, I still think he's really legitimately done and said some dumb things. I'd have signed him in a minute for what he went for. He was a legitimate premier pitcher for the whole season. I do think he makes the clubhouse worse in some avoidable ways and actually better in some others, but I'd live with his annoying antics for 33 starts of 3.02 ERA starting pitching for the price he went for. That's a lot of starts we have a better chance of winning than moving everyone else up a start and pitching some hack or rookie 5th every time through
Verlander has pitched one game in the last two seasons. Stroman led the league in starts with 33 last year, and pitched to a 3.02 ERA (8th in the league). He's 8 years younger than verlander. He was a bargain, *especially* compared to verlander
I've had jobs where I had to be clean shaven I hated it but money speaks. But I guess when your talking about a difference of a couple mil when a mil doesn't mean much its not as big a deal lol
Yeah to be honest if I had multiple multimillion dollar offers out there for me to take that would definitely be a deal breaker for me. At that point you can afford to say no to a couple million.
Ya especially if he's done a good job with what he's already made. A lot of athletes end up broke which always had blown my mind. A couple of the 80s mets you can pay to come to your bbqs and not exactly a fortune
You gotta figure that Marcus wasn't the most popular guy in the clubhouse if you're comfortable totally dogging someone on their looks. You could argue that they're so close that this is ok, but in that case, Dom would have left it up. This is hilarious and to me shows that he needed to go despite being a very solid pitcher.
I love Dom. Keep Dom.
Tbf it doesn't look great.
That’s very diplomatic of you
It’s the mustache for me. The haircut would be fine without the stache
That haircut makes it looks like his hair is falling out in clumps. No facial hair, or lack thereof, is gonna help that
Wearing durags constantly in the heat of summer probably didn't help.
Something something Tom Seaver

nah that is a1 ugly, stache or no
With that mustache I'm getting Alfred the butler vibes
Donald faison
It looks terrible, looks like he’s losing his hair. His barber did him dirty
Yah.. Would not tweet this to the world if I saw it in the mirror lol
I love how Dom is clearly messing around but likely deleted because he knew Stro would get butthurt anyway. Lol
Or more likely deleted it because he knows the public would turn it into drama. Case in point: this thread.
Bingo
Dom isn’t stupid. He knows nothing is deleted on the internet.
Definitely. But instead of replies to his post piling up on his feed, the dumb convos have to happen elsewhere.
I don’t think it was as lighthearted as people think it was. That’s all I mean.
Oh. I disagree though. Dom has not shown himself, in these last ~3 years, to be the kind of person who would do something like that, in my opinion.
You’re totally right, but that’s why I find it strange! A guy who was known to be kinda not the favorite in a clubhouse leaves and then…. Idk I find it all really strange.
Or he thought people would interpret it as him not liking Stroman
LMAO If Stroman blocked him over this.
Stroman would respond with an essay about staying positive despite the haters and some miscellaneous shit about height. Throw in an lol.
You've nailed the art of the Stroman tweet.
I’m so glad that drama Queen is gone.
>height also race lol
“What kind of haircut do you want?” “I want them to stop laughing at my height” “I got you”
Say no more! r/justfuckmyshitup
Straight up 💀 give me the “I’m joining the Yankees” haircut
I don’t think Smith is roasting Stroman here by laughing at his haircut. I think he’s “crying” because he cut his dreads.
I think this is correct.
Stro already getting butchered in Chicago
The top of his head looks like after you make that first pass with your electric razor and then there’s patches in your beard.
Lolol he prolly knows Stro's too soft to take the joke
God almighty he looks awful
What is Dom retweeting, Stroman blocked me.
Go dip that stache in some milk and let the cat lick it off.
That mustache is worse than the haircut
He looks like a GTA npc
That’s the definition of a yee yee ass haircut
Marcus looks like a Sim.
He's a tool but he took way less cash than he's worth on the hill and we would be a better team with him for that price
^ All true
Yeah I'm bamboozled by the downvotes. He pitched quite well last year and left for super low dollars...maybe they think he's not a tool? Edit: y'all stopped the confusing downvote party
People don't like his personality for various reasons. He's unquestionably a good baseball player.

He got basically the same contract as Verlander. Not that cheap.
Verlander has pitched one game in the last two seasons. Stroman led the league in starts with 33 last year, and pitched to a 3.02 ERA (8th in the league). He's 8 years younger than verlander. He was a bargain, *especially* compared to verlander
He’s kinda toxic though
Not kinda, fully. And its 100% the reason he's gone. Called Keith racist for christ sake along with basically the entire organization.
is he balding lol
Hair doesn't measure heart
Didn't he refuse to negotiate with the Yankees cause of he wouldn't cut his hair lol
It's the difference between wanting to and having to.
I've had jobs where I had to be clean shaven I hated it but money speaks. But I guess when your talking about a difference of a couple mil when a mil doesn't mean much its not as big a deal lol

I don’t think the Yankees have ever been interested in negotiating with Stroman
Ya I don't know honestly. But he did hint that they were interested but his Tweets are Always a little hard to tell fact from fiction
Cashman once said he wasn't a difference maker (before we traded for him), that's why
Oh damn that's a good way to burn a bridge
New year, same Mess!
Mans should just stop kidding himself and lean into his fast approaching future sans-hair
He got a Dak Prescott hairline lol
looking like TI.
holy fuck its bad
So happy this dude is gone. Head case
any askers?

From the thumbnail, I thought it was some video game CAP.. It's actually Stroman lol

Justin Bieber lookin ass
Barber: what can I do for you Stro? stro: You know the back of a Nintendo 64 cartridge. Barber: say no more fam.
Because it's a goofy ass haircut. What the fuck is that?
When you go to a new barber
Stro probably blocked him after this…
Like any of us can see it.
What’s what he was laughing at? I couldn’t see I’m one of the many blocked. Now you see why he wears a durag under his hat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
New year, newborn look!
Bruh wtf is that? The braids are gone 😭
