Look, things do happen, but you can't block air at this level. If you're 'blocking air' you don't belong up here.

Facts.

Yes, you would be correct. Blocking air is a nice term but I like to refer to them as "whiffs". A "whiff" got our Hall of Famer seriously injured. A "whiff" also got Trevor leveled vs Tampa. And we all saw what happened to Ian.

You said it though, at this level of player ... that cannot happen.

The thing with Ruiz though is that he's a repeat offender. Unacceptable productivity from a former 1st rounder.
