this makes it look worse than it was, but only a little |
And that kind of thing happens around young players all the time, right? Like, nobody thinks it's right (do they?), but everybody knows that it happens, right? It's baseball. It has been that way for at least the near thirty years I have been watching, and it will probably continue to be that way until robots. It was nothing special, or didn't have to be, except that it was as one-run game, bottom of the ninth, and the pretty remarkably hot-headed Brett Lawrie probably already felt like a butt because of a throwing error earlier, and so this happened:
Well OK not really but mostly:
Yikes, right? This is not Delmon Young chucking a bat a dude, but it is on the spectrum. Yeah, it bounced in the dirt (Mr. Splitty stylee), which is maybe like the tiniest bit mitigating, but Lawrie is so getting suspended for this one, man. There is just no other way. The MLBPA is awesome so maybe they can awesome it down to a mere five gamer or something, but I honestly wouldn't be stunned if this comes out at or around twenty. Why don't we just call it ten? Would that be cool for everybody?
An excellent "stay classy" moment followed as the umpires left the field:
Finally, let's just see if I actually know how to embed things . . .
OK I guess I can.
Anyway, all around, a pleasant evening at the old ballyard, eh fellows?
