The Blue Jays being mad at the Rays is just so lame

This is the Morning Win, by Andy Nesbitt.

Baseball teams and players often get upset over the lamest of things.

Whether it's some dumb unwritten rule that angers a team or some guy at second base tipping pitches to his teammate at the plate, there are just so many ways for a baseball dudes to become really sensitive about things that they shouldn't be sensitive about.

This week, though, there has been a new thing I've never seen before that has really angered the Blue Jays - they have become really mad at the Rays for not giving back a scouting card that a player found at home plate.

Weird, right?

In case you missed it, here's what happened: Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was gunned down at the plate to end an inning. As he sat their at home plate being disappointed with himself for getting thrown out at home he saw a little card on the ground and picked it up. That card ended up being the Blue Jays' pitching plan for the Rays and was something catcher Alejandro Kirk looked at throughout the game so he and his pitchers could attack the Rays in the best of ways.

Well, the Blue Jays were not happy at all with the Rays and Kiermaier for not giving that card back because how dare they not give the card back!?

I have some feelings about this whole thing. The first on is… just don't have a card at all, do some prep work, and know what you're going into each game so you don't have to have a little sheet of paper to help you out.

Second, if you do need a card, which is fine, too, just understand that if you lose that card and it's found by the other team then you should be mad at yourself and not the other team. It's not on them to give it back to you.

Third, is that card really going to help the Rays out THAT much? It's late September. These teams have played each other a bunch of times this year. By now with all the analytics stuff that teams have it's very likely that the hitters know how the Blue Jays pitchers are going to be attacking them. This card isn't going to change the game at all.

Former MLB player Will Middlebrooks, who won a World Series with the Red Sox, tweeted: "If you don't like it, don't wear one. We had advanced meetings and scouting reports that told us how to attack guys and where to position. If coaches wanted something different in game, they told us."

That seems pretty right to me.

This isn't cheating. This isn't the Astros beating on a trash can to let a teammate know what pitch is coming. This is a guy, picking up a little piece of paper that has some info on it that isn't groundbreaking info at all and won't likely help them all that much.

Chill out, Blue Jays.

And keep your cards in safer places!

Quick hits: Conor McGregor's horrible first pitch… Pair up Brooks and Bryson at the Ryder Cup!… Fantasy football advice… And more.

- UFC star Conor McGregor threw out the first pitch at Wrigley last night and it didn't go well at all for him.

- I think Steve Stricker should get nuts and roll Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau out as the first pairing at the Ryder Cup. It won't happen but it would be awesome if it did.

- Charles Curtis has his fantasy football stock watch and explains why Ezekiel Elliott's stock is going down.

- Dodgers infielder Trea Turner gave us another incredibly smooth slide into home.

- Jon Gruden doesn't like it when people make fun of Mark Davis' hair.
