Throwing at batters is not an essential part of baseball. It would be for the better.

I don't know, I'm not saying I'm for or against but would be interesting to see how it played out.

It'd love to see a poll from players on what they think of this. I bet a majority would not want to see it removed from the game if I had to guess.

Machado slides late and cleats Pedroia
Barnes throws at Machado head

Both teams say it's over, all of that is in the past before yesterdays game.

Bundy hits Betts
Sale throws behind Machado

Looks like a good timeline

Also most people won't admit it but beanball wars add interest to baseball

Of course it does, and so would Machado charging the mound with the baseball bat, so that point is irrelevant.

Each player being able to use a ninja star once per game would make me watch baseball every single night.

Lots of people do lots of bad things in this world, and it's just part of life. Where do you draw the line on using that lazy excuse?

Yeah let's tie the game of baseball to the rest of life in general. That seems pretty fair.

Oh so you're not making serious arguments. Good to know.

It's amazing how you can't see ANY of the points everyone is making towards you.

My absurd comment was to illustrate that your comment about throwing at batters making the game more interesting is just as irrelevant.

But much like the Machado/bat comment that like 10 guys have tried to explain to you, you simply keep missing the mark.
