Mike Fiers turned his bizarre facial hair into a terrifying face mask

This is HILARIOUS.

There are people with ridiculous beards and mustaches and then there’s Mike Fiers.

There’s not a great way to describe what the Oakland A’s pitcher donned on his face last fall. He shaved his beard down to one side of his face and he kept that side connected to his mustache on the opposite side of his face.

Yes, it is as wild as it sounds. No, it’s still unbelievable that he actually stepped out of his home like this last September. Like, yo. Who does this?

You really have to see it to believe it, so here it goes.

That deserves to be roasted for the rest of eternity. Not only did he step out of the house that way, but he appeared in a baseball stadium in front of thousands of people looking like that. Not to mention all of the folks watching him from the couch.

We should never forget that Mike Fiers played a baseball game where he turned his beard and mustache into a swirl.

Fortunately for us, we never will. Fiers turned his ridiculous, uh, let’s call it a beardstache, into a mask. And other players are legitimately wearing it while practicing to prepare for the season’s start.

THIS IS THE BEST. Not only is he taking the necessary safety precautions to protect himself and other players from coronavirus, but they’re also dishing out laughs while doing it.

This is fantastic. Now, where can I get one?

Ex-Astro Evan Gattis walks back social media post about whistleblower Mike Fiers

He just thought a “snitches get stitches” glass was “funny.”

Evan Gattis, a former member of the 2017 Houston Astros that won a World Series ring and was then found to have stolen signs during that season, sent out what seemed to have been a clear message about his feelings about ex-Astro Mike Fiers blowing the whistle on the scandal.

He tweeted a glass with a drawing of Fiers with the phrase “snitches get stitches” on it, which many people took to mean Gattis was taking a shot at the pitcher for blowing the roof off what the Astros were doing.

But he cleared it up in a series of tweets:

He then retweeted this:

Okay! So maybe next time, add a caption to that photo so we’re not all confused?

David Ortiz called Mike Fiers a ‘snitch’ in a misguided take on the Astros cheating scandal

Missing the point, Papi.

The Houston Astros cheated for the past three seasons, and the only reason we’re talking about it right now is because former Astros and current A’s pitcher Mike Fiers went on the record to blow the whistle about the situation.

While there were plenty of players who thanked Fiers for bringing the Astros’ cheating into light, former Red Sox great David Ortiz wasn’t as mad about the Astros’ cheating as he was about Fiers going public about the scheme when he did.

Ortiz spoke to reporters Thursday at the Red Sox spring training facility in Fort Myers, Fla., and he called Fiers a “snitch” for waiting years to speak up on Houston’s cheating.

Ortiz said:

“I’m mad at this guy, the pitcher that came out talking about it. And let me tell you why. Oh, after you make your money, after you get your ring, you decide to talk about it. Why don’t you talk about it during the season when it was going on? Why didn’t you say, ‘I don’t want to be no part of this?’ Now you look like a snitch. You know what I mean?”

Sure, Fiers could have spoken up sooner, but Ortiz absolutely knows what would have happened had Friers gone to the media about the cheating operation while a member of the Astros in 2017. He would have been shunned by the clubhouse, and he would have put his own career in jeopardy.

Fiers isn’t the villain in this story. He’s the one who forced MLB to take action. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred even admitted that Fiers’ quotes were what sparked the league’s investigation.

So, don’t be mad at Fiers for calling out cheaters — be mad at the cheaters.
