Will become a household name in the LA market in a few years. Can’t wait.
I’ve never lived anywhere outside the SE but I’ve certainly never seen so many fans uoset about a guy getting plunked. It’s not like the guy threw at his head at 98. It’s horrible luck that he moved his elbow in the way. Just weird that the fans don’t think hot dogging is grounds for getting you thrown at occasionally.
Game would be a lot more fun without these unwritten rules. I’m surprised a guy hasn’t charged the mound with bat in hand and ill intentions after getting plunked.
Yep, it's time to get rid of the old school mentality of, "Well, he offended us so I will throw a pitch at his head, or drill him with a fastball. And then they will retaliate and we'll all run out on the field and act like we want to punch each other in the face, but we won't, and months or years down the line we'll get revenge again...." Players get injured enough on their own. With salaries being so high, and stars being so important for attendance and viewership, it just doesn't make sense to let guys intentionally throw a hard ball 97 mph at someone over some petty grievance or perceived slight. Maybe each team could have a dedicated goon to have a hockey style fight when players get their unwritten feelings hurt.
They guy threw right at him and Acuna hasn't been hot dogging. The pitcher was taking it upon himself to hit the guy because he's gone yard on his first at bat of the first 3 games of the series. It's not Acuna's fault that they threw meatballs to him.
The reason why everyone is so hyped about this is that since being moved to the leadoff his production has exploded and has kept the team in the playoff hunt. There was no reason for the pitcher to plunk Acuna, aside from being a dick.
Yes he threw right at his ribs. Didn’t say anything to the contrary.
He’s got plenty of mustard in his blood stream from what I’ve seen. And we also don’t know how much trash talk may or may not have occurred long before or right before the at bat. Regardless, if you’re a fan of his or the barves I can see why you’d feel otherwise. That’s a perception thing.
Just FTR, although I’m not a fan, RA is obviously a bad@$$ and that AB won’t change it.
