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?

literally the entire giants fanbase was super mad at Javy for having the absolute gall to be excited about that hit, despite it being because Strickland threw at him the last time he'd been up :jerkbag:

literally

so, yes, probably, since Strickland is a whiny fuckbaby

its the same thing that happened to Trevor Story last year at the end of July and he missed the entire rest of the year and couldn't really swing a bat until November.

"6-8 weeks" is crazy over-optimistic for a torn thumb ligament that requires surgery. Mets staff crazy.

I guess if you're gonna have a AAA guy who isn't ready pitch multiple innings in the majors, the day your offense gets 16 runs is the time to do it. poo poo, Jeremy Guthrie could've even gotten a W on this team today.

Yadi came back from it (several times, I think) with varying degrees of success. He's seen a drop in power, but that could be associated with aging or with losing like 40 pounds to improve his longevity as a catcher.

It makes me sad that Salvy's career is going to be over in like 4 or 5 years, you can't justify his bat at first and he's just a giant dude who can't last at catcher.

We'll always have his constant torment of Lorenzo Cain though.

I'm not a huge Royals fan so I'm unfamiliar; does Salvy get shoved out there way too often? His games started on BBRef don't look insane to me, but I'm spoiled with Yadi (2014 doesn't count, he missed 7 weeks with thumb surgery).

Holy poo poo. I just noticed this today: the reason Dioner Navarro hasn't been around anywhere this year is because his wife, who was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm last season, had a massive stroke in December that nearly killed her. As it was she was in a coma for three months and has only recently returned home. Poor guy. He says he's not ready to retire, though, so hopefully he'll be back in MLB at some point.

I suspect you're kinda spoiled here mostly? But I don't know how to check other than a lot of work I'm not willing to do. It is worth noting In 2014 Perez started 150 games in the regular season, another 15 in the postseason, then went to play for Venezuela in some international thing I can't remember for a handful more. That tops anything Jason Kendall ever did in a year, who I think I've heard is the most abused catcher ever to play the game as far as playing time goes.

Salvy also missed a couple of weeks on the DL in one of the seasons where he 'only' caught ~140 games if I remember correctly.

e: Oh he DHed 4 games in 2014, so only caught 161+

So what evidence points at that being an intentional beaning by Strickland? Are you all fairly certain he did that on purpose?

Edit: Like is Posey not getting involved telling on its own?

98mph to the hip? I think it's intentional. Posey was set up inside a bit, but that was waaaaay into the box.

Strickland also jawed at somebody on the Royals(?) the other year, called him "boy" and all that. gently caress him.

I think their prior history, the spot where he hit him, and the reaction by Posey all point to it being intentional. Strickland has apparently hit four batters his whole career. He nailed him on the hip with a heater on the very first pitch. Harper's the only batter he's hit all year.

To me, you can usually tell by the pitcher's reaction whether or not it was intentional and this most definitely was

There's that too. If it wasn't intentional, at the very least he goaded Harper into charging him.

That was him? Nice catch, for some reason in my memory that was lodged with some guy we once had who had no idea where the ball was going, but insisted on throwing 101 anyway because that was the only positive he had.
