IlliniKrush Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Anyone else see that brawl last night? After last year's spring training incident, you'd think Mota would learn...instead, he throws at him first pitch and misses him, then drill him on the next pitch. Piazza charged the mound, but couldn't get to Mota because the Dodgers infielders got there too quickly.Then Burnitz almost got to him, but Mota kept running away until he reached the dugout, and he left the ballpark before the end of the innings. Piazza's eyes were so intense they were described as "cartoonish" on sportscenter. Anyway, what suspsension does this warrant for Mota? I honestly think something like this, especially being a pitcher, warrants a month suspension when the season starts. I mean, that was COMPLETELY intentional. And it happened last year. There's no room for that crap in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 I just read that Piazza drove over to the Dodgers clubhouse after the game and was screaming "Where's Mota Where's Mota", but Mota left a long time ago. I wouldn't want to be Mota right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mota should be suspended for 81 games at least for undisputed intentionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to be Mota right now. Why does Piazza care so much. He makes millions and the game was over. Sure he probably did beam him on purpose. Big woop, Piazza will always be a bigger star than Mota and he should be confident with that, and not have to try to fight him after the bloody game.

IlliniKrush Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Cmon man, if a guy threw at you after what happened last year, on 2 consecutive pitches, you'd be pissed as hell. You just don't let people do that crap to you just because they are holding the ball and have the ability to. I don't blame him. That's pure bulls*** and has no place in the game.

OfficerKarkovice Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I don't blame Piazza one bit. I would be pissed as hell if I were him. Mota better watch his ass when they play NY this year, after watching Piazza go after him looking like the Devil himself I think it might be in Mota's best interests not to try anything further.

OfficerKarkovice Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Yeah I don't know what Mota's problem is but he couldn't backpedal fast enough getting away from the Mets. Piazza just came tearing after him before getting tackled by the infielders...then all of a sudden Jeromy Burnitz got onto Mota's trail and was barreling down on him before getting tackled...then little Joe Ewing came flying in and slipped as Mota ran into the dugout and into the clubhouse. The Met's were PISSED and Mota is lucky he didn't get the hell beat out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no room for that crap in the game. I wouldnt suspend any pitcher for throwing at a batter. I would just let the batter or the baddest motherf***er on the team beat the living piss out of the pitcher.they wanna give it, they should take it.

Chisoxfn Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Mota should be suspended a real long time. This is ridiculous. Mota can get it up there (I'm talking 98 or so) and I don't know whether he was throwing that hard, but enough is enough. If your going to hit a guy, go for it, but you don't hurt them. Plus, what the hell are you throwing at a guy in a spring training game for. Gimme a break Mota. Plus, I'm sure Piazza is more pissed on this subject after the Clemens incident.

1549 Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Man what was Mota thinking running away like that...you either don't throw at him or if you do you fight him like a man. I remember being at the fight game in 2000 vs. Detroit and Parque (who is a small guy) stood up to Dean Palmer... Mota should have just charged right into Piazzas gut...Damn Mota had to flee to the clubhouse, I bet you his teamates gave him hell for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mota came off like a real b**** back-pedaling like he was. If you're gonna throw at a guy and he charges, drop your glove and stand there like a man. Mota is a f***ing wimp.
