2020 MLB Thread

I read that after one pitch, someone who may have been Dusty yelled something along the lines of "Get the fuck back on the mound" to Kelly.

Doesn’t sound like something dusty would do  but who knows 

He yelled to Kelly to “get back in the mound little fucker”. 

The Bergman one was at his back. A little high, but the duck made it look head high

I mean, you can clearly hear it. No fans in the stands makes it quite clear.

All I said was I didn’t hear that. I believe you that it happened but it just doesn’t sound like something dusty would do. Guess he’s sticking up for his players, who knows

At his back lol come on. It flew over his head!

And as he started to duck, it gets a little high up on the back (as I mentioned). That ball hits the bottom of the #2 if he doesn’t duck though. 

Lol anyone can take a screen shot. I watched the video, thing was thrown at his head with intent to hurt. 

And even if it’s thrown at his back, why are we okay with throwing 100mph fastballs at players backs? Such a stupid baseball thing.

I don’t disagree with the second part. Retaliation in baseball is dumb. That’s probably Manfreds fault for being a bitch though. 

I just don’t think it was anywhere near his head. But it was intended to hurt for sure.

Haah you crack me up man. All that back and forth just because you agree it’s intended to harm but it was thrown at his back, not head. 

If you have MLB Network...flip over and look how big Lance Lynn is lol

He’s gotta be 320

Most every player I’ve seen looks to be a great shape for them...Schwarber maybe up a few but Lance Lynn wow

Joe Kelly suspended 8 games....based on past history also

So, suspend Kelly, but let the cheaters keep the WS trophy, well done MLB

Yeah, I think retaliation is stupid. But there is a huge difference between throwing at a back and throwing at a head. I don't see how you can say the Kelly pitch was at his head and not his back.

The Correa one was at his head, but also may not have been intentional

I think he threw at his head. The ball may have missed the target, but I think he threw at his head. 

Besides why are you even arguing, you agree. You’re just trying to correct the head/back thing which is just semantics and unnec

We have our first game make it to the 12th in Houston

Because they guy got the equivalent of a 22 game suspension. That’s ridiculous.

Lol, no it’s not! He threw a fastball at a guys fucking head. Thankfully he missed the target. He then mocked him. And almost started a brawl. And he has a history of doing that. MLB had to send a message and they did

They haven't prorated other suspensions. I don't see why this one would be. The pitcher that the Indians got in Kluber trade was suspended 80 games (intended to be half of a season), but they have not adjusted that number. So he is now suspended all of this season and part of next season.

And this is why I posted what I did. In what world do you get to say “I think he meant to hit his head, although the evidence shows it wasn’t that close. The intent was probably there” If Bregman doesn’t duck and it sails behind his back, he isn’t getting 8 games. 

He mocked him after Correa (who also has a real bad history of this shit) got mouthy and didn’t walk to the dugout.
