Getting thrown at my loving head, getting loving thrown at everywhere. It’s loving bullshit. I’ve lost mad respect for that organization, for that coaching staff, for everyone over there.

He's certainly not wrong about pitchers getting light suspensions for throwing 100mph at dudes. If he or any other hitter went after a pitcher with the bat in this day and age it sure seems like it would provoke a much longer suspension. Then again, Marichal was only suspended 8 games for bashing Roseboro over the head with a bat, but that was 1965. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 07:39 on May 3, 2017 |

Here's Marwin Gonzalez's grand slam, which is apparently a homerun 2% of the time based on EV

NiceGuy posted:The Red Sox are being assholes no doubt but lol if you really think machado is being anything but a whiny bitch. Machado's point is that he's NOT doing that but that it is closer to the level of force the Red Sox are trying to use against him compared to a loving SLIDE. The MLB both at the game and after as well as countless analysts have said the slide was not dirty. But for sake of argument let's say Machado went full Ty Cobb and sharpened his cleats and went to the game that day with the intent of taking out Pedroia. It still would be bullshit to throw at his head. The irony of the situation is if the Red Sox were just regular assholes they would peg him in the ribs or leg or whatever which I wouldn't agree with but would understand and everyone just shrugs. But the Red Sox are being incompetent psychotic assholes. Incompetent because they still haven't even managed to hit Machado after how many tries? 5? 6? And psychotic because they are STILL trying to hit him and are basically playing mind games. So imo Manny has a right to complain about the fact that he has to wonder if every Red Sox pitcher is A. Going to pitch to him or B. Try to maim him on national TV because like a month ago he slid awkwardly that one time. Hell at this point I'm surprised Machado isn't doing a slow rendition of the Michigan J Frog whenever he hits a homerun against them, he loving hates the Red Sox. And he should. pasaluki fucked around with this message at 13:01 on May 3, 2017 |

I would like to just say I was under the understanding that the Dylan/Mookie HBP was intentional until just now, which definitely changes my interpretation of the events. Because yeah, I was having a hard time giving a poo poo about throwing at machado again if they were continuing things even after Matt Barnes made himself look like a chump. But if the Dylan pitch was incidental, yeah, Sale obviously took it too far and the Red Sox are bad.

This is a pretty good writeup on it. e: I'd forgotten that he didn't do it with scissors or something, he did it with a goddamned knife.

RisqueBarber posted:Hold up, the Twins have loving TVs in their seats? Why do you think the woman got drilled in the face? Darn kids these days, not paying attention (for 460ft HRs to deadcenter) Real answer: It's an all-inclusive space with free food & drink (the cost is in the season ticket). IIRC they're surface tablets that allow fans to choose between different camera and/or network feeds of the game. There's no good scoreboard viewing from that spot, so it's pretty necessary for replays etc.

Ditto, though front row of that section is on my short list. I tend to splurge on stubhub the 3-4 times I get to see the M's each season. In recent years, garbage M's vs. garbage Twins tickets can be had for cheap - even if you're grabbing decent seats.

Kathy tried to kick Jimmy. So Jimmy's friend threw a rock at Kathy. One of Kathy's friends didn't like that so he threw a rock at another friend of Jimmy's. Kathy said all of Jimmy's friends were dumb. And a really bad boy called Kathy's friend a very bad word which the grownups didn't like. And then another friend of Jimmy's threw another rock at Kathy. So Kathy said all of Jimmy's friends were big butts but he used bad words. Just sit there and don't make me turn around.
