I'm still giggling over Buster's reaction. "Yeah, this on you, dumbass," as his eyes roll up to the sky.

RCarr posted:I didn't realize he was a starting pitcher (probably because he's not), so I wasn't sure why everyone was calling for a punishment that is above and beyond what is generally handed out for this type of incident. Also, once it was stated that the intentional HBP was not provoked, and was just out of pride/spite, I pretty much agreed instantly. What hurts more, losing your star player for 4 games or losing a reliever who isn't your closer for 6?

RCarr posted:I guess I lumped you in to the other people who were in the discussion, so you're right. As to the "it's how it's always been" excuse, yea, but it's on MLB to address that, and until they do there's no use in complaining. That's splitting hairs, and you know it. The long and short of it, Hunter threw a 98 mph fastball directly at Harper, and now he's sitting out for 6 games. When your catcher stands there and doesn't even try to bail you out, you done hosed up.

ComposerGuy posted:Lol that the Astros aren't going to get a single starter via voting despite being the best team in baseball. Same as it's always been unless you're a team from Chicago, LA, or New York. Big Mean Jerk posted:Altuve's great and all, but the real travesty here is how Marwin Gonzalez isn't even on the ballot. It goes by opening day starters.
