Dr. Anthony Fauci threw out a pitch last night. One so bad it’s drawing comparisons to 50 Cent’s infamous showing. You can see the doc’s work here.
While Fauci had a few defenders, about 95% of the internet crushed him.
Take a look at some of the best:
His throw was certainly socially distant. https://t.co/4ikVbB7EL9

Outkick’s Gary Sheffield had takes:
After that first pitch I would tell Fauci to stick to science but he doesn’t know what he’s doing there, either.

A serious reaction.
Dr. Fauci strode confidently all the way to the mound to throw out the first pitch and I thought, "This is going to be strong." Instead, it rivaled some of the worst ever. Huh?

He clearly doesn’t want anyone to catch anything

Dr. Fauci’s first pitch was socially distancing its self from the plate.

This next one hurts.

Even a KO punch.
Okay, so Fauci's ceremonial First Pitch today missed the catcher's mitt by a county or two. Still way closer to target than any of his COVID predictions. https://t.co/fdiiYjKjSu

Fauci’s pitch was as on point as his covid assessment.

This is my favorite:
Washington post: “Dr Fauci throws perfect strike on ceromonial pitch!”

Always good to take a shot at the untrustworthy media.
Did you see #Fauci throw the first pitch at the Nationals game? What a joke. Now the #Media will nominate him for the Cy Young Award.

“Fauci, like all other medical experts, has been advocating for months for Americans to practice social distancing… It's always heartening to see someone who preaches such advice follow it, even if it is with his pitch location.”

Which was the best?

Gary Sheffield Jr. is the best. But seriously, why can’t people throw a ball 60 feet in the air relatively straight? Five years old can do this. I don’t see how a person can screw this up so bad unless they are on opiates or something. Unless, they are doing it intentionally to get free press…
I think he was trying to pick off a runner on first
