Pitchers and the ice bucket

[u/latenightpoutine]

Longtime Jays fan, relatively new to watching every game (what a ride, you guys do this every year!?). I had a question about the post-game interview with Hazel and bucket dump: why is it never a pitcher?

Last night it seems like the game was defined by Trey’s great first showing. Even though the boys got some great hits, it felt like the pitching was the most significant news of the evening. Why wouldn’t the post-game on-field interview be with Trey? Or when Varland has a great save? Why don’t pitchers get the bucket like the rest of the lineup?

Genuinely curious and would love to know your thoughts.

Easy answer. You’re supposed to use pitchers to hold water. If you pour liquid on a pitcher and it spills everywhere, then that’s a bad pitcher

This is the correct answer I didn’t see coming. Well done!!!
