    Lol ... not the first time I've had to correct one of Brock's dates on a game thread ... one time, he had the wrong year :)

    If pitchers actually start aiming at the batters, even if their intent is below the chest, I hope it’s someone with absolute control. With the spin and pace some pitchers throw today, and with less control, aiming at batters is a recipe for serious injury. I don’t agree responding to an unintentional hbp with an intentional hbp. As I said last night, I don’t know the answer, but retaliatory violence isn’t something I condone. Maybe start looking at the pitchers, and start removing them from the game or fining them. It only takes one slip and that intentional hnp ends a career because of the max levels the balls today are being thrown at. They hit us by accident, we hit them intentionally. So they hit us intentionally, then we hit them again. Where does that end? Maybe the solution is with the pitchers themselves.

    But he filled the 26-man roster when the Twins sent Henriquez back to AAA

    Well, you and I are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I just don't think it's a good response.
  5. Squirrel
    But when you are talking about pitchers not having the best control, and you start aiming at players, it's not a good combo. And where does it end? They do it, we do it, they do it again, etc. Not a good plan. I don't know the answer, but I know that isn't it.

    But it's not tit for tat when one it doing it intentionally and one is not. And once you start go directly at people, that's when someone gets hit in the head.

    I'd rather the umpires warn the Dbacks pitchers. Next hit batter, someone is out. And I agree, the pitchers need better control, that's the problem. But retaliating by intentionally hitting someone from their team? No. I think that's dumb. just my opinion. So how do you respond? what should they do?
  8. Squirrel
    It's not like we are getting hit intentionally. I don't believe in that kind of retaliation. Not sure the answer, but to respond by intentionally hitting someone for not intentionally getting hit is just plain stupid, imo. And potentially dangerous.

    Well, I am a musician. And my music room doubles as my living room. And I don’t really have one of those hanging on my wall. But, Prince did sit at my piano years ago. Prince, my cat.

    You need to chill out just a little, speaking as a moderator here. I can assure you everyone here wants to win and hardly doubt they don’t care. That said, it’s just a game. We will win some and we will lose some, hopefully more of the former and less of the latter, but so it goes. Win or lose, game threads are supposed to be fun and we are here to share in the revelry or commiserate the losses.

    I’d say your venture turned out to be a positive one, yes? Unless you are an A’s fan
  24. Squirrel
    Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The fact you can still venture at your age, is the gain. 🙂
