From the episode

It's like Alec Pierce right now. He goes on PUP and all of a sudden everyone's like, oh, I can't draft Alec Pierce. But it's like we kind of knew something was going on here.

Negative signalInjury

Pierce on PUP; community reacted negatively but issue was likely known earlier.

Alec Pierce went on PUP (Physically Unable to Perform list), and the best ball community reacted negatively to this news. However, Zachariason notes that something was likely going on with Pierce beforehand, so the community's reaction to the PUP designation was somewhat predictable. He suggests expectations should have been adjusted earlier rather than waiting for the official PUP announcement.
