Do Not Trifle with the Klaw!

I neither endorse nor, uh, do the thing that’s the opposite of endorse ESPN prospect maven Keith Law’s occasionally surly interactions with the public. In the words of every pro athlete, “It is what it is.” Plus, Mr. Law’s very clearly a smart guy — both in the baseball, and also in the other kind of, way. He clearly knows what he’s doing, is what I mean to say.

What I will say is this: if you’d prefer not to be the object of the Klaw’s rage, then do consider not sharing with him unsubstantiated opinions or simple ad hominem attacks.

This advice comes a week late for at least five Twitter users, who took umbrage at Law’s suggestion that, tasked with starting a franchise immediately, he’d choose Troy Tulowitzki over Albert Pujols.

Below are Law’s various retorts, complete with RTs for the reader’s convenience.

1. In which Law has just been called a “moron.”

2. In which Law engages in baby talk. Of sorts.

3. In which Joe Morgan is conspicuous by his absence.

4. In which Law is unimpressed.

5. In which the pickins are pretty easy.
