With the third overall pick in the 2015 First-Year Player Draft, the Colorado Rockies selected a shortstop named Brendan Rodgers. Here's how an AL scout described Rodgers to MLB.com's draft guru Jim Callis back in April:

"Maybe he's not a prototype 1-1 guy, but he's comparable to Carlos Correa . He's a shortstop who has power, he's physical, he's got tools and he's performed. His track record makes you confident that he'll be really good."

Since joining the Rockies organization, Rodgers has performed admirably -- slashing .273/.340/.420 in 37 games in the Rookie-level Pioneer League. And so, considering his age and how much the Rockies have invested in him, it might surprise you to see headlines like these flash across Twitter:

"You're fired" How Twitter reacted to Brendan Rodgers' sacking. Full story: http://t.co/RlTQZxWXGS pic.twitter.com/g3SgvlJmZb - BBC Sport (@BBCSport) October 5, 2015

BREAKING NEWS: @LFC fires manager Brendan Rodgers just eight weeks into fourth season. http://t.co/0blSSuJB4w pic.twitter.com/rWnDIjSc28 - NBC Sports (@NBCSports) October 4, 2015

However, Rockies fans have nothing to worry about. You see, the Brendan Rodgers being discussed in those tweets is not the power-hitting shortstop prospect. Instead, he's the erstwhile manager of Liverpool Football Club, a soccer team that competes in the English Premier League. And yesterday, he was fired (or "sacked," in British parlance).

Liverpool fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration and/or support for the ex-manager -- despite the fact that soccer-Rodgers doesn't have a Twitter account. So, they did the next best thing: They tweeted at the shortstop.

After quite a bit of that sort of thing, Rodgers clearly had enough:

Naturally.
