Didn't Lopez throw the bat towards Sale on his homer, after complaining about a pitch that didn't come all that close? AJ is always going to protect his pitchers, period.
And why would Sale even try to hit Lopez in that situation? Makes absolutely ZERO sense, especially after the way the previous night's game ended for the Sox.
Yeah he did. I absolutely agree with you. It's total bs on Lopez's part. To be clear though, my comment about AJ was more referring to a thread a few days ago on here where someone posted a report from an insider that hardly anyone in our clubhouse liked AJ. It really baffles me on why that is. I watch him play the game and give interviews with the utmost courtesy and respect. This whole bad rep thing AJ has is starting to annoy me.
