If you are going to fake being hit by a pitch, you might want to grab the part that was actually close to the ball…and maybe pretend like it hurt?

So “wanged” is an actual word
I’m actually laughing on this one.
I think your post got changed to “Wang” (which is why I always capitalize). It’s a last name.

Dale Sveum is a very, very solid manager.
Defensive metrics, pickoffs knowing a player doesn’t have a head in the game.
Sawx made a major blunder not hiring him. Good baseball guy.

The only words it is supposed to autocorrect to are dictionary words and, eventually, words that I use a lot (like automatically capitalizing names of Braves players and such)…no idea why it changed something to “Wang” because it’s not a word I have ever typed…
