gcannon12 Repeating just for A'hole fans that are hard of hearing: Everything was squared when Ventura plunked Lawrie in Saturday night's game. But the Oakland A'holes stirred the crap up again on Sunday, when Kazmir (a pitcher with excellent control) hit Cain. Herrera as just trying to get through the A'holes hard heads (that's why Kelvin pointed at his head after throwing at Lawrie) that Royals pitchers will defend their hitters. Herrera also wanted the A'holes to remember that almost ALL of the Royals pitchers throw 100+ mph fastballs.

@deborahdavis6743 9 лет назад

You say you are over but we ALL know what's what. You folks are in denial about your trauma - denial is a river in Egypt and you poor souls need to build a bridge to get over it! A's fans, Angels fans and O's fans have not fully recovered from the PTSD that results from CHOKING and losing BADLY to an opponent that these teams, their fans, MLB and the media in general considered far beneath the favorites! After several more seasons of play-offs and counseling and therapy, you poor, pathetic traumatized A's, Angels and O's fans will learn to accept the feelings of disappointment that you have with your teams and you will not feel the need to lash out at MLB's KC Royals (formerly known as those "Loveable, Laughable Losers").and their proud fandom. Until then, I bid you all joy and a fare-the-well. TTFN.

@toonces4x 9 лет назад

Deborah Davis Angels fan?! HAH you wish, although I have to say, wayyyy better team then the Royals when it comes to professionalism and class. The Royals maybe the team with the best record right now but they are also the most pathetic team as of now, they start shit and blame the other teams like the A's and White Sox and blame them for starting it. And if anyone needs counseling its the Royals fans because they didn't get beat by a team but they got dominated by only one player and now they are taking their frustrations out on other teams. At least the A's, Angels, and Orioles got beat by a team and not just one player. Although it was a team that turned out to be the biggest poor sports in baseball.

@hokeyrulz26 8 лет назад

+catecurry Herrera is one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the league. He hits 99-101 on almost every fastball. The point to the head, meant that he had all intentions/will throw one of those fastballs at his head. That's why he should've gotten more then just 5 games. He should be out for the whole year honestly

@catecurry 8 лет назад

+hokeyrulz26 I know how fast Herrera pitches. When Hererra pointed to his head he was telling Lawrie to think about what he was doing. Lawrie's excuse for sliding cleats up into Escobar was he was playing hard. He justified what he did, then said he texted Escobar an apology (he didn't) & ended by trashing Escobar (claimed Escobar sent something objectionable in Spanish . . . seriously! why is it players like Lawrie & Strickland are always "accusing" Latin American players of "speaking Spanish" when most of them can & do speak and write English??) & KC fans during interviews. Lawrie was being reckless & he has a reputation for being a jerk; he certainly was while in KC (we don't even feel that way about the SF Giants who were pretty decent when they were out around the Plaza). Maybe Lawrie should consider baseball where other players, including pitchers who throw 100 mph play like Herrera does, have the same attitude towards other players as Lawrie has - anything goes even if another player gets hurt. That was Hererra's "message" & it's one Lawrie should heed. Amongst other players, Lawrie doesn't have many friends & he is his own worst enemy.

@Menessy27 9 лет назад

Deborah Davis lmao get a clue you clown. This is the same team that just had a bunch more players suspended for a fight vs the White Sox a week later because the pitcher said fuck you to a guy after he hit a comebacker up the middle which may be the most retarded thing i've ever seen. Apparently you aren't allowed to hit a ball up the middle when you're playing the Royals. And I remember one of their pitchers talking shit to Trout and clearing the benches earlier. Mike Trout who is an honest player and one of the nicest guys in the league.The Royals are absolutely pathetic as are their fans.

@catecurry 8 лет назад

Herrera is older & big enough to take care of himself. All Lawrie did during that series was do TV interviews & whine. Claimed he apologized to Escobar but he didn't. Lawrie is emblematic of what's wrong with the A's this year. Royals fans have nothing to be ashamed of since we don't have to claim Brett Lawrie.

@IrishRunner28 9 лет назад

Kansas City fans should be ashamed of themselves. I am an A's fan and if one of our pitchers purposely tried hitting someone in the head with a 100 mph fastball, I would not be proud to be an A's fan. Lawrie already got hit the day before. I know one of the Royals players got hit in the foot but who tries to intentionally hit a player with a breaking ball?

@AeroForceOnes 9 лет назад

I feel like I am the only Royals fan who thinks the Royals need to cool their damn jets.

@catecurry 9 лет назад

IrishRunner28 Herrera did not purposefully try to hit Lawrie in the head with a 100 mph fastball. Apparently, after reviewing the film and taking all of the video evidence into consideration, the MLB commission agreed and decided that Herrera's actions were only worth a five game suspension. Watch the video from both the front and back angles. If Herrera had intentionally tried to hit Lawrie in the head with a 100 mph fastball, not only would the ejection likely have been much, much longer, Herrera likely would have face criminal charges as what you are suggesting is that Herrera intended to do serious bodily harm to Lawrie that could have resulted in his death. I am proud to be a Royals fan. The Friday evening before Lawrie recklessly slid on his best asset, feet up into Escobar rather than second base, we Royals fans cheered wildly for an A's player receiving his AL Championship ring. We routinely honor other teams' players who reach milestones while playing at Kauffman. We appreciate a good play and we don't want to see any player get hurt. But we also stand up for our players and behind our players 100%. When we see them taking hits from pitchers and our batters with the highest averages are taking the HPB's at disproportionate rates, we start to analyze each occurrence. Now, when we believe any of our batters is being hit intentionally, we react. There is in fact an explicit rule in MLB's rule book that has yet to be enforced regarding intentionally hitting batsmen with pitches; we hope this will change as, by paying better attention to certain data, flagging instances where pitches are intentionally meant to hit the batsmen can be readily identified and flagged for review by the umpires immediately. For all of your anonymous keyboard bravado and spinning of facts into a false narrative, here are some facts, today the As are at the bottom of the AL rankings and the Royals are at the top in spite of several injuries and ejections. Our guys will calm down and focus. Most Royals fans wish events had played out differently but understand why they played out as they did. Royals fans will not waiver. Our love for this team has suffered far worse.

+KazumiRioseHRx What are you talking about?

@go4it764 8 лет назад

KazumiRioseHRx It really cracks me up how some fans try to feel sorry for Donaldson. When you are a homerun hitter who hugs the plate, expect to brushed back. Volquez is a veteran pitcher who has seen everything. Most pitchers who know the strategy of baseball would have done the same thing . If not, then there's a strong possibility Donaldson would have hit one out of the park. Josh knows the risk of leaning over the plate over and over again. Is Donaldson a cry baby? He sure acted like it that day. As for as Ventura goes, he is a different pitcher who has cooled down.....finally! He's won 5 out of his last 7 outings. (as of the of August) How many Royals have been hit lately?? About half as many as earlier. Guess that goes to show that standing up for your teammates makes a difference. I think the message was loud and clear. You F*ck with us and you will pay the price. As for Herrera., he told KC Star's Andy McCullough that his grip slipped on that pitch and to "think about it". (that's why his explanation was, but obviously not received so. Personally I think Herrera's pitch was probably intentional, but not intended for the upper body. It should have stopped when Ventura hit Lawrie the night before. Ventura has made great strides and is much calmer.

@deanwilcox9390 3 года назад

I remember in high school watching all the games from this series. What made it even worse was game 1 started out so heartfelt. When Billy Butler game onto the field, his first time back in KC since the previous season, the whole stadium gave him a standing ovation (even when he get a hit on us we cheered just from the love we had for him). Then Brett Lawhrie had to go and do what pro sports players for Oakland typically do and make a dirty play, taking out Esky’s legs, while sliding into second, in a play that should’ve gotten him ejected - but didn’t. I know most people will fall on the side of “Just play the game and don’t start fights, let it go, etc.” but my love for this team grew so much after this. The attitude of “You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us” is the kind of friendship that this team had, and it’s the kind of attitude that all sports teams, as well as society in general, is missing now a days.

Just like in Game 1 of the season, the Sux hit Cain after Morales or Rios hit a fat one over the wall at the K, then tried to play like they have Alzheimer's Also, the A'holes apparently unloaded a lot of the loser players that choked in the 2014 WC Game to the Chicago area teams. Apparently, these loser players are suffering from PTSD and are still trying to recover from the injuries (sore asses) sustained in the choking incident. Oh wait, who did these traumatized former A'holes play in the WC Game?....Who was it? Oh, I remember - it was the Kansas City Royals!

I'd laugh if Lawrie got traded to the Royals before the trade deadline this year lol

@michaelguthrie1598 9 лет назад

If he did I would probably just cry then instead of cheering for lawrie just boo for him

@timparker2805 8 лет назад

The Royals have a way better third baseman. I'm sure the As would love get rid of him though.. They got screwed on that trade.

@catecurry 8 лет назад

+Joe Lyon Absolutely no way the Royals would take Lawrie. You can take that to the bank. The Royals have passed on better options than Lawrie over concerns of "clubhouse fit" and, in retrospect, those decisions seem to have been the correct decisions.

Lol...That pitch would have done some damage. I don't think I've ever seen a wild pitch roll back to the mound.

Maybe these situations would decrease if teams knew that both the Pitcher AND the Catcher would get ejected.

@jhawk889 7 лет назад

This is why I don't want the DH around. Herrera comes to the plate, I'm beaning him

@kennylevine1150 6 лет назад

Yes, but Herrera is also a relief pitcher so he never is gonna bat

@bjchit 8 лет назад

@nhardman 8 лет назад

Uh, yes. He blew a pitchers perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th. He called a guy safe at first who was clearly out. It was the worst call I've seen in my life.

@krazyk251 8 лет назад

Correct me if I'm wrong but i think this took place the day after Lawrie had already been hit in the arm by Ventura. If that hit was payback for Escobar getting hurt I don't have to like it, but I do understand it. Supposedly there's an unwritten rule that if one of your players gets hit then you hit one of theirs to even the score. If thatI's true then the situation should have ended there; I don't think there's any rule that says a player can be used for target practice indefinitely. I'm also wondering if the situation had been reversed and a Royals player caused the same injury to Lawrie (or any other opposing player for that matter) would you still be saying it was a dirty slide? IMO Herrera pointing at his head TWICE indicated that he had intended to hit Lawrie in the head. However, since none of us are mind readers or have the ability to read lips I guess we'll never know, will we? I don't like to see any player being hurt intentionally, no matter uniform they wear, and anyone who would do that has no class whatsoever.

TAKE away the DH. make pitchers bat

@Flench339 9 лет назад

Jason Ball I think that the DH is useful for sluggers that can't field to well. The pitcher is almost always an easy out. Most teams just use pinch hitters.

@skypants2 9 лет назад

I would guess that just leads to relievers being sent in to plunk, then being pinch hit for before they could get hit.

@littlejon360 9 лет назад

Jason Ball They do in the National League. Ian Kennedy intentionally hit Puig in the face and then Grienke in the helmet and missed 1 start last year. The key is to do it with Starting pitchers....like Jeff Samardja and Chris Sale because when they get 5 game suspensions, it can be handled without them really even missing a start.

@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333 9 лет назад

How about no? Fuck the pitcher batting. It seems cool. But it's actually fuckin stupid and just means a guaranteed out nearly every single time. Stop caring about traditions.
