krusty, while I agree pitchers suspensions are a joke, I am not sure I can agree that Hamels deserves that many.

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) May 8 '12, 09:06

he did not hit him in the head.

He did not hurt him.

He took his HBP in stride and just went to first.

I see this as maybe a payback for things Harper has done in the past.

The hazing mentality is bush league and has no place in adult society. Whatever they need to do to drill it out of the game (all games) is fine by me. -- nm - Reagen May 8, 09:35 3

- I woudl not exactly call this hazing though. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:36

- well, he did blow a kiss at a pitcher after a HR in the minors. - groiny May 8, 09:14 5

    - I do not know Hamels reason for doing it, only he does. - groiny May 8, 09:16 3

        I am saying, it could be anything, not sure it makes any difference through. - groiny May 8, 09:18
        
        there was some talk about Harper acting cocky before the game. He was also crowding the plate. - decline May 8, 09:18
- Hazing. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 8, 09:13 7
  - Like he said, no reason. -- nm - David May 8, 09:45
  - Haze him but stealing his clothes or tying him naked outside the park to a pole. Don't risk his or anyone's career but throwing - Krusty May 8, 09:16 5
    - stop, he hit him in the lower back. No one ever went to the DL after getting hit in the ass. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:19 4
      - We see it very differently. What he did was dangerous, uncalled for and stupid and has no place in the game. -- nm - Krusty May 8, 09:21 3
        
        major league pitchers can throw a ball into a teacup if they want to. - groiny May 8, 09:22 2

        I am not saying he is right. - groiny May 8, 09:24
He didn't hurt him this time. We shouldn't wait for it to be a pitch that does hit someone in the head. - Krusty May 8, 09:11 18
- batters are gonna get drilled, it happens all the time. - groiny May 8, 09:12 4
  - That suspension is a joke and the reason for my post. He should be benched for three starts. That's a real punishment. - Krusty May 8, 09:18 3

    - I agree in part with your comments. But in all cases, not just Hamels. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:20 1
      - I don't think it should only be Hamels. Anyone believed to have thrown at someone on purpose should be suspended for three starts. - Krusty May 8, 09:22
- the only reason he got suspended at all was cause he opened his mouth. Pitches get away all the time, should every hit batter equal a suspension? -- nm - Beaker May 8, 09:12 11
  - No, they're not all equal. When it's clear, like the idiot admitting he did it on purpose, there should be a long term suspension. - Krusty May 8, 09:15 2
    - A longer suspension will only hurt the team - not Hamels. He still gets paid - decline May 8, 09:17 1
      - Right. And the team will be sure to tell their pitchers not to do it if they're going to lose them for three starts. -- nm - Krusty May 8, 09:19

    - as would the pitcher who hit Hamels after he hit Harper. - groiny May 8, 09:15 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        right, but he did not. - groiny May 8, 09:17 4

        if it were fair, they both would have equal punishment. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:21 2

        I am not sure what you are arguing, as I said he should be punished? nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:28

plus Harper got some of his own back later that inning as it was. -- nm - znufrii May 8, 09:08 10
- yeah,. both players handled it the right way. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:09 9
  - I didn't really see the point of Hamels coming out and admitting it was intentional after the fact - znufrii May 8, 09:12 5
    - and why is Zimmerman not getting suspended as well? nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:13 4
      - *shrug* - znufrii May 8, 09:14
      - Becuase he was smart enough not to say anything at all. - Will Hunting May 8, 09:13 2
        
        and Zimmerman retaliated, which is obviously payback. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 09:14 1
        
        yup, can't do one without the other -- nm - Beaker May 8, 09:24
  - except Hamels should have kept his damn mouth shut aferwards -- nm - decline May 8, 09:10 2
    - I disagree. I admire his honesty. - Iron Spawn May 8, 09:12 1
      - refreshing in its own way, but I wouldn't want it to become a trend. -- nm - znufrii May 8, 09:16
