The NL MVPs face just crushed by a Fiers fastball

[Tron]

Stantons face all.bloody

And then Fiers has the balls to hit the next batter

 

[Cami]

Jesus!

 

[FairWarning]

What's Kershaw doing in Milwaukee?

 

[Tron]

What's the Cy Young winner doing in Milwaukee?

He's not. He is in LA.

 

[FairWarning]

You said MVP?

Just saw that, very nasty - and lucky.

 

[Tron]

What was lucky about that?

 

[Matty]

Looks like it may have caught a bit of the earpiece thingie.

Looked scary as fok @ full speed.

 

[MrX]

Pitch was called a strike, and so was the pitch that hit the replacement batter on the hand.

That's a three pitch strikeout that hit two different batters.

Anyone seen that before?

 

[Tron]

No way that has ever happened.

I'm in the middle of an argument right now with a brain surgeon who doesn't understand that the final pitch to Reed Johnson can't be called the 3rd strike because the ball clearly either

A) hit the batter

Or

B) hit the bat







Home plate ump must be having a slow onset stroke

 

[MrX]

I think a batter hit by a pitch while swinging can be a third strike.

 

[Tron]

Hmmmmmm.

Maybe. But I think it's at the umps discretion.


If discretion is allowed, that was some weird ass discretion considering the circumstances.

 

[MrX]

I haven't seen it, but everything I've read has been written like "supposedly swung at the pitch."
