Three guys. What were they waiting for, number four or five?

Posted by Krusty (aka krustylu) Jul 25 '12, 07:53

He should have been tossed.

Responses:

by all rights he should have been pulled by his manager for not making his pitches. - znufrii Jul 25, 07:55 30
- He should have been ejected. Especially after hitting Arod. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:01 29
  - you are saying this as a Yankee fan, you do not eject someone - groiny Jul 25, 08:02 28
    - A 91mph changeup. Not exactly the usual changeup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:13 6
      - it was 88 mph according to the clip I watched. - groiny Jul 25, 08:14 5
        
        I think your reaction is biased as a Yankee and Arod hater. If three Sox were hit you'd be pissed and not making excuses. - Krusty Jul 25, 08:17 4
        
        and yes, I likely would be upset if it were 3 Sox getting hit. - groiny Jul 25, 08:20
        
        See, you are very wrong there. - groiny Jul 25, 08:19 2
        
        If he's notorious for hitting guys they shouldn't have let him stay in long enough to hit a third. - Krusty Jul 25, 08:21 1
        
        they just do not warn you for hitting someone, unless the umpire thinks it is intentional. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:21
    - crap. guy hits 3 batters he should be gone. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 08:08 4
      - there is no rule for this. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:09 3
        
        and as every real baseball fan knows much is implied when it comes to getting hit by a pitch. 3 batters hit is too much. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 08:11 2
        
        on fastballs, I would agree. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:13 1
        
        A 91mph changeup. That's a fastball for a lot of guys. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:14
    - Forget the pitch. He hit three guys! He had poor control. You eject him for not controlling his pitches and hitting THREE guys. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:07 6
      - I'm not sure it's the umpire's job to stop a player from playing like crap. -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 08:14 5
        
        No but it is his job to eject a pitcher that continually hits batters which is the result of his poor control. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:15 4
        
        loss of control is a quality of play issue, it's not against any rules that I know of. - znufrii Jul 25, 08:18 2

        he hit Ichiro in the 7th, but fine, whatever. - znufrii Jul 25, 08:24
        
        youa re talking about one of the best pitchers in the game. - groiny Jul 25, 08:16
    - I call bullshit on that. Hernandez is a Cy Young caliber pitcher...and he hits 3 out of 5 batters? - Jim Jul 25, 08:07 3
      - it was a CHANGEUP. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:08 2
        
        it was the THIRD BATTER IN LESS THAN AN INNING!! nm - Jim Jul 25, 08:09 1
        
        sure, he was trying to hit people when he was winning 3-1. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 25, 08:10
    - 3 batters hit in a row? gone -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 08:03 4
      - they weren't in a row. -- nm - znufrii Jul 25, 08:04 2
        
        ahh slightly different. But still 3 is a lot regardless of timing -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 08:06 1
        
        It was three of the last five guys he faced. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:11
      - this. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 08:04
