Considering baseball has a HBP process, I don't think it's appropriate for a batter to charge the mound at almost any situation, sorry.

Harper can be and has been better than that. He got hit for bullshit reasons in his first season and didn't throw punches in response.

What process? Harper should just accept that he's gonna get hit if he plays well?

I get that it's your team, but Strickland is an idiot and pitchers need to face repercussions if they wanna throw at someone if MLB isn't going to do anything about it.

Get outta here.

Protest if you want, the ump is right there, but fistfights are crap. Both guys should get equal suspensions and Dusty should keep his retaliatory beanball poo poo to himself.

Pitchers should get ejected for deliberately throwing at guys. And yeah Strickland is an idiot. Not defending him here.

he got hit for homering off of strickland twice, in october 2014

Basically.

All you need to see in the replay is Buster Posey just watching Harper walk to the mound and not doing poo poo, most likely because he knows Strickland was asking for it.

Oh and Samardzija and Morse colliding was good, think Samardzija got the best of him though.

This happened because Strickland is a giant loving man child that can throw really hard and made a really poor choice that could've hurt someone.

Buster Posey is like the righteous judge of baseball and if he doesn't come to your defense you probably hosed up.

Pretty much the only sane response in the whole fiasco, lol who loving carries a grudge over a batter doing his job against you 2+ years ago? Do I have to worry about Javy getting drilled in the head the next time he faces Strickland because he had the audacity to single up the middle in the NLDS last year?

I'm guessing Posey was just staying out of an ejection. Also Strickland is the same size as Harper pretty much.

Hunter Strickland is stupid as gently caress and deserved to be knocked out by his own teammates considering Posey already has suffered a concussion this season from being thrown at.

But man did he avenge the 2014 meatball he left over the plate, so he's got that!

Harper also got maybe one half-decent blow in, otherwise all he got for his trouble was a shot to the face courtesy of Strickland and the the entirety of twitter making fun of his pathetic attempt to throw his helmet.

What, a warning? There was no bad blood in this game prior to this, and its the first time they've played this year. This is because that rear end in a top hat doesn't like that Harper hit some dingers off him a couple years ago and thought he could get away with something here.

He wouldn't have gotten fined, suspended, anything. Just a dont do that again. Seems pretty bullshit to me.

i've been wavering back and forth on this. Strickland landed a good, clean hit but it was an open hand slap/shove to the face while backpedalling. Bryce got his feet set and rotated the hips to get that closed fist punch in but strick's arm got in the way and caused it to be a glancing blow. i think i'm calling it a draw and i want to see Harper-Strickland 2 on PPV

Double whatever Strickland gets, which is why we have beanballs. If a pitcher got something like 20 games they'd stop immediately.

I'm not defending Strickland, I agree with you. That said, charging the mound accomplishes nothing and hurts your own team when you end up thrown out and suspended for however many games, along with whoever else decides to throw a punch. Take your loving base and make him pay for it with runs.

If Harper had just run to first then Strickland wouldn't even have been ejected, and if pitchers can throw at people for bullshit reasons and face literally no punishment whatsoever then it's just going to keep happening.

I can only assume Bochy seriously had to consider not whacking Strickland over the head with a bat himself when he came back after being ejected.

Yeah I think that's what makes the whole thing feel so lovely. Either Harper does the right thing and takes it which means Strickland just gets away with being a huge shithead and potentially injuring him, or he does the wrong thing and gets Strickland ejected/presumably suspended but also has to bite that bullet himself as well and also start a dumb brawl.

He threw it by the bill of the helmet too, I'm not sure if like..palming the top and throwing it that way would make it a more effective weapon but either way, that wasn't anywhere close.

It would be tight if a manager just pulled and suspended his own player for beanballing, if the umps don't do anything. Doubt any of them have the balls to do this though.
