Cardinal's games feel empty without Molina behind the plate. Absolutely love that easy to piss off man. He went completely into compete mode once the game started & no one in an opposing jersey was his friend until the game/series was over. Loved that little hot head play.
@@jacobjones5269You know you would've lost your shit if Yadi had been traded to your team. What can anyone do about it? You can't rationalize with irrational hatred. Haters are gonna hate. It's what they do. It's science.
@@sigep145 Look, dude… Anyone who ponies up with gear on and plenty of people to impeded an impending fight?… Is a punk.. Ida just jerked a knot in his tail and sent him on his way.. lol..
In Smith vs Ozuna, Smith was not the first guy to get hit by his backswing. If it’s only one catcher, it’s the catcher but if multiple catchers are getting hit by the backswing, it’s on the hitter to adjust
No it isn't, not getting hit by the backswing is entirely 100% on the catcher. Catchers setup in the front of the catchers box often going over the line out of the catchers box trying to get closer to the plate to frame pitches this is why we have seen a massive increase in catchers interfearence calls. it is the responsibility of the catcher to not get hit by the backswing as he has 2 some odd feet he can move back in the catchers box but he won't.
Japanese baseball coaches would bench any players causing such dishonor. "Arguing with the opponent? You have brought Dishonor! You act like Americans! You are benched!"
I'll never cease to be amazed at the emotional immaturity of pro baseball players. It's as if straws and tissues should be provided with their contracts so they can suck it up and dry their tears.
Yeah I'd have to agree. Baseball players seem to be the most sensitive off all professional sports. They wouldn't last a single game playing football with their over-wrought sensibilities lol
@@chocolatecoveredgummybears you're right, I played football, basketball, and ran track. We didn't cry and whine over trivial matters. As I said, it amazes me how emotionally immature baseball players are. If you don't realize that, then you probably are one (or were one).
Obviously you have been to Japan and seen Japanese baseball players. Where honor is of the upmost importance. And arguing with opponents and complaining about injury are the sign of dishonor
I played as a catcher for several years and got smacked in the head by bats few times, including one kid I went to school with who threw it backwards towards me (hit me in shoulder but not hard). I wouldn’t say we were friends but we were good term acquaintances by the time we were in high school. One day he and I were talking and out of the blue he apologized to my surprise. When asked him what about, he said “for purposely throwing bat at you”. I just laughed because that was years before and I had forgotten all about it. In hindsight though I have to wonder how many times it was intentional to hit me by the others 😋🤷♂️
Or how about talking pitchers and catchers Roger Clemmons “roid rage” in the 2,000 World Series throwing the broken bat at Mike Piazza? I have my own idea as to what Piazza should have done with that broken bat!
It's weird seeing the Braves during that time period heckling guys about unwritten rules. Now they have whole celebrations on Home runs and strikeouts.
every time is see brian mccann get in the base path like that i get fired up, mccann offering up his face up i'm thinking a quick right would do the trick. idk, he's a big mf, i know i wouldn't, i'd be telling the ump to kick him out.
Will Smith had been hit in the head by Osuna before. Smith was just coming back from a concussion injury, and Osuna hits him with his bat again. Osuna has a rep for doing that, so yeah, Smith was pissed and rightly so.
When I played the worst thing to me was the opposite players grabbing me to stop me. That is a sure fire 🔥 way to start the melee. I had no idea their intentions. My intention was made clear. They caught a couple for grabbing me. I am not saying I was right. In fact, looking back it was stupid. Nevertheless please grab your own player.
With bench clearing brawls, do the other players want to mix it up or are they trying to stop the fight? (I don't watch much baseball, in case it's not obvious 😊)
It's not so much wanting to mix it up or stopping the fight, as it is supporting their teammate. Always let your teammates know that you have their back.
let me ask this question, please, because I am not aware of the decorum for this scenario, but....if there's a scuffle on the field and the players rush forward, what happens if a player DOESN'T jog out there and get in the mix? What happens to the player who says, "No, not getting involved, my family's watching, my children are watching, this is not appropriate, I must behave" - that guy get fined? is there respect for this person?
The player does not obligate himself to participate, because he doesn't give a sh** he lives in his own life without seeking approval from others and not care what others think if him, bruh
It’s annoying how hotheads like prince, Pujos, and puig, who like to start something for any reason are the same guys who always play peacekeeper when it’s not their fight.
Carlos retired with no rings and Freddie is on his way to winning a couple more. Clearly freeman got the last laugh cause he’s on a contender now and Gómez isn’t even playing🤣 Edit: it’s perfect that he played for the Houston Asterisks
95% of these guys don’t really want to fight. They know as soon as they start 30 other guys are going to step in. Let them go like in hockey, a real sport
@@jetwestbrook Well... I'd imagine that the league has a rule for just that instance. The runner is entitled to have the base paths and the bases unblocked, after hitting a home run. If someone were to get in his way, and causing an event that would prevent him from doing so... I'm pretty sure the league would overlook an untouched base and award it to the runner. Could you imagine being able to force a runner out of the base path and off the field, whenever you felt like it? Now, that would be something to see. I think I'd pay to see that new rule change taking place. Albert Bell used to push the fielders out of his way, like a linebacker.
Its funny to see the bullpens empty. Both groups run in side by side, the when tgey reach the scrum they oretend to face off. Like a pitcher, whose career depends on his hands, is going to throw a punch.
