Had to be chirping because the ump by 2nd walked toward the batter as he approached 3rd.
He was taunting the pitcher. The batter got a 2 game suspension and the pitcher got 4 games. Every player on the bench or dugout who came on the field for the hitting team got a two game suspension and the league said if that means they can't field a team they must forfeit
If I was the kid who got lit up, I think I'd be filing a police report for assault on the other kid. Getting 4 games for a cheap shot move that could have ended that kid's career is weak ass sauce.

I don't care if the batter is giving the pitcher double birds all the way around and stops at every base to acts like a dog pissing on a fire hydrant. You don't do that. He should have been banned from the league.
SIAP but I did not know this was coming. So in!

Take that attitude to the Arlington thread and banned for life? 4 games might be a little light but then my guess
Is the batters words were part equation. That was way safer and more fair than tossing high heat at his melon. The guy walked home and scored unhurt. Sports in one of the few places on earth where to still have to stand behind your words. Let's not change that! The punch in the Boston minor league game was far more ferocious.

Pitcher should be suspended for the rest of the season IMO.

He was kicked off team.
I didn't say he should be banned for life. I said he should be arrested. Words are wind and gone in an instant. The pitcher went as hard as he could with the intent to hurt him.Keeper of The Spirits said:

Assaulting someone on a baseball field isn't "making someone stand behind their words". And it wasn't even more fair than throwing at his head. You're at least prepared for a pitch coming in that situation. No one's expecting to get blindsided by a 230 lb guy running full speed while they're rounding the bases. The pitcher was a little ***** and he showed it.Keeper of The Spirits said:

I'd be pressing charges, too.
Remember that season Nolan pitched more than 200 innings..........
Pressing charges after running your mouth... That's pretty weak guys.
I don't agree with how the pitcher handled it, but the batter isn't free of blame. He clearly said something that crossed a line. If you're going to run your mouth, you better be ready to back it up.

Honest question: why is physical violence a socially accepted response to somebody who says something insulting?
It's a pretty normal expectation. "Talk sh**, get hit." But I've honestly always wondered why it's socially acceptable to meet words with violence instead of more words.

The pitcher didn't give him an opportunity to back it up. He just blindsided him like a little ***** while the guy was running the bases. Trash talking is part of the game. Pitcher needs to grow up.RO519 said:

4 games is way too light. Should be the season and charges.
But the real travesty is everyone from the hitting team getting two games. **** that noise. Pitcher just cheap-shotted our teammate and we're not allowed to go pull him off of him. Just let the pitcher tackle him and start pounding on him?

Is this due to the lockout
roughly half the country thinks that speech they don't like is akin to violence, so they're justified in using violence to stop speech. A substantial portion also view your refusal to use violence against people who say things they don't like as violence against them, so they're justified in being violent towards you.
Off day is no more
Let's get back to bltching about Dusty's probable lineup and not about societal norms as it pertains to violence and offensive words.
There are other forums/threads for that.

Dusty's lineups are violence towards me.
In cases like what happened to Tyson on the plane where you cannot get away from the person antagonizing you and refusing to leave you alone, I think violence is sometimes the only logical answer.Coby said:

7nine
As of last night I think the kid ended up getting kicked off the team.
Honest answer: Violence shouldn't have been the answer there and I don't think it is socially acceptable to respond with violence. I don't condone the pitchers actions, but again, the batter is responsible for his words.
We are also talking about 15-18 year old kids playing a competitive game and there are people talking about how the batter should press charges. Maybe now he will think twice before he runs his mouth again.

But its still not a crime or worthy of physical assault in retaliation
Batter needs to grow up and not run his mouth. Trot around the bases, score your run and sit down. Right? That is one of the unwritten rules of baseball isn't it?
Would you have rather seen the pitcher throw at the next batter?

Its a wild take
Were you supportive of the High school football player last year who assaulted the referee?
Thank you for the honest answer.
What if God was one of us?

Why shouldn't we play that game? You're making a lot of assumptions about what the batter said and whether he mouthed off first or not.
