Giving the batter one between the shoulders or in the thigh for acting like an a-hole is fine in my book

Why not, ya know, walk up to him and confront him and let him know? Like in every other sport or walk of life?

Because walking up to him and saying something like "Mr. Machado, please don't do that again" will do absolutely nothing

Is there any proof of what Adam Jones said he heard?

100% honest question, do you think nba players should throw the basketball at another player who is acting like an a-hole, and nfl players should throw the football or maybe their helmets at other players?

If not, just baseball? The only answer I 3 ever seen to that is "just cause"

In basketball, a good, hard, clean foul will usually suffice.

In football, you basically have free reign to commit assault on another human being.

So again, don't confront them, take the pansy route.

So strange.

So if the player takes exception to the foul, he should definitely not do anything, wait til he goes on defense, and then foul the other guy!!!

That would be a hell of a thing to make up.

I do agree that Adam Jones isn't the type of person who would make this up but what if he misheard something? In the age of cell phones it's kind of tough to believe that some ongoing racist heckling wasn't captured by anyone

Both teams said that what happened between Barnes, Manchado, and Pedroia was in the past prior to yesterdays game.

Then Bundy hits Betts with a pitch in yesterdays game. Sale throws at Manchado today. Should of seen that coming.

Farrell is a piece of shite. Bad manager too. I'd hate it if he was my team's manager.

Anyone who thinks Sale wasn't throwing at him intentionally is delusional.

Player goes after a pitcher with a bat, suspended for awhile

Pitcher throw at a players head, warning


I think throwing at players is stupid and should be an automatic 5 day suspension (2 starts for pitchers) with no pay. Union won't allow that though.

Kind of funny hearing Manny Machado whine when he is a bit of an a-hole himself on the field.

He makes a good point about pitchers being able to throw at heads but only having to miss a couple of starts.


abolish the DH, let the pitchers face the music as well

I love how they give Adam Jones a standing ovation while Sale steps off the mound, then Sale throws at Machado in the subsequent at bat.

@ Boston.

Here's a thought, if someone is mad at Machado for the slide on Pedroia, confront him and deal with it right then and there.
Or...a player hits a homer and admires it for 1 second too long(which is absurd to get mad about but I digress) and you don't like it, you know where he's going. Meet him at home plate and tell him you didn't like it and deal with it there. Waiting till his next at bat to throw a baseball at his head is almost quite literally the best definition of being a complete pussy.


Jesus Christ dude, that's fricking worse than throwing at him.. how trashy are you?
