In response to "Three guys. What were they waiting for, number four or five?" by Krusty

by all rights he should have been pulled by his manager for not making his pitches.

I don't necessarily disagree with the argument you're making, though.

Responses:

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
