Baseball players are the biggest babies in all pro sports...

They get upset over all kinds of ridiculous "unwritten rules" (can't steal when up by a few runs, can't toss a bat on a homer, can't bunt against a no-hitter, can't run up the score, can't swing on a 3-0 pitch when ahead by a few runs, gotta "play the game the right way" - which, of course, means the way you were taught to play. Heaven forbid someone else learned to play a different way).

But the worst, by far, is the nonsense about drilling a guy after he's had some success against you (or he's "shown you up" somehow). Then, of course, that team will get pissed when someone retaliates, and so on. How about trying to get the guy out instead of intentionally hitting him?

I'm a Mets fan (insert joke here), and I have no love for the Braves, but that was horseshit from the Marlins tonight.

Keith Hernandez idiotically said it was a smart play. ** -- 48zip 08/16/2018 12:30PM

I like Keith in general (and his book was fantastic), but -- BB Hokie 08/16/2018 12:45PM

However, per MLB rules, Acuña's 5-game HR streak is intact -- hoosnowahokie 08/15/2018 9:04PM

97.5 MPH fastball. 99th %ile for fastest pitches he’s thrown this year** -- VTDante 08/15/2018 8:41PM

Braves suck. And all of their fans too. ** -- ElbertoHokie 08/16/2018 12:12AM

Just get out now. Or buy me a beer next time in B'burg -- hoosnowahokie 08/16/2018 09:06AM

His favorite player was Bonny Bonilla. ** -- VTDante 08/16/2018 1:59PM

I’d like to see him suspended the greater of 10 games or however long -- RoswellGAHokie 08/15/2018 8:45PM

I've always thought that if a player in any sport, actively tries -- hoosnowahokie 08/16/2018 09:08AM

Yeah, the rule for pitchers is weak. He misses 1 start or is delayed 1 day. -- HokieinTampa 08/16/2018 06:33AM

I’d force him and Mattingly to hit 8/9 all game. ** -- VTDante 08/15/2018 9:05PM

You gonna suspend his manager? -- JoesterVT 08/15/2018 9:03PM

Maybe you did...sometimes production forgets to flip the switch ** -- JoesterVT 08/16/2018 07:40AM

Bottom of the first. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 08/15/2018 8:08PM

Interesting...perhaps I just read the TV wrong from a distance. ** -- MP4VT2004 08/15/2018 8:30PM
