Outside the lines for sure

One sportswriter on Twitter (can't remember who) likened it to a batter coming up on the mound while the pitcher isn't ready and hitting him with the bat. Wonder what MLB would do about that?

Small part of me wonders if this is what it'll take to FINALLY get MLB to do something about this. This wasn't any unwritten rule. He didn't show up the Marlins. He was just too good for their pitchers.

All that said ... as another guy said on Twitter, I care at least a TINY bit less because it happened to the Braves, who have tended to treat Bryce Harper like their own personal beanball target.

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

I just saw that on a TV in a restaurant while out to eat. Question: -- MP4VT2004 08/15/2018 8:07PM

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

Outside the lines for sure
