BrandoFan Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 I'm glad I'm not eat up with that much hate... for anybody. That's sad..... and scary too. No s***. It's like that early 20s dude at Comiskey chasing a foul ball that rolled under one of the seats along with a bunch of kids and teens...and in the process knocking down a 10yo (I mean, he literally threw him aside and the father of the child did nothing even though he must have seen it...) who would have gotten to the ball first. The dude proceeded to cockily display the ball to the crowd...Meet LDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clujer420 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Anyone who took pleasure in watching Sammy Sosa get hit in the HEAD should seek professional help soon, because there is clearly something very wrong with you. Baseball is a GAME. You may not like someone because of "showboating", and you have every right as a fan to do so. But to support and encourage throwing at a man's head (a man who is probably a father -- I don't know anything about his personal life) is just wrong. If you want to stop someone from showboating, hit them in the knee or arm. You NEVER throw at someone's head (unless it's a pitcher up to bat and he threw at one of your teammates' heads -- otherwise, you DON'T do it). And anyone who purposely throws at a player's head should be thrown in jail and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 now far be it from me to want anyone injured...........let me first say that im glad samme is ok and it wasnt anything serious..... now that its over with we can make jokes and whatever, and yeah maybe he did need a little pop to bring him back down to earth for all the years we had to put up with his ego but i wouldnt wish it on anyone........yes it could have been as serious as molinas injury ( who i met at the flyers tryouts, nice kid) brando mentioned....and why hasnt christensen been banned for life??? he ruined a kids career his should have been stripped too......i think that everytime that samme gets to the mound now he may be a bit gun shy, i know that was a big part of molinas problem and one of the reasons he didnt make the flyers..........its too bad too cause the kid had a bright career ahead of him............

BrandoFan Posted April 21, 2003 Author Share Posted April 21, 2003 and why hasnt christensen been banned for life??? he ruined a kids career his should have been stripped too...... Oh, common, it's not like Molina is disabled or anything like that. In fact, he is gainfully employed as a used-car salesman as we speak.

HSC, you don't get it, it's an asshole's world--it's "either bean or get beaned" and Molina made his choice when he laced up the (oversized) jersey and stepped on the diamond. Molina was asking for it, standing like that only 40 feet from the batter's box...hey, who knows, he was probably having impure thoughts about poor Ben's mother.....so you can say it was self-defense on Christensen's part.

YASNY Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Whenever I think of someone getting hit in the head, and the effects it can have, I think of Tony Conigliaro. The dude was a helluva hitter until that incident. It messed up his vision for years, then he could not overcome the fear factor when he did try and comeback. How anyone can intentionatly throw a baseball 90+ mph at someone's head is beyond me. You can brush them back, drill them around the waist or in the back, make them attempt to skip a rope to dodge one. You might injure someone that way, but you can kill someone by hitting them in the head. Unthinkable, to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 You NEVER throw at someone's head (unless it's a pitcher up to bat and he threw at one of your teammates' heads -- otherwise, you DON'T do it). Hypocrite How so? I'm pretty sure that Killa's saying that he thinks it's hypocritical for you to say that you should NEVER throw at the head, and then immediately after that, saying that it's okay to throw at the pitcher's head who threw at the first guy's head. If that's what Killa meant, I agree with him. You can't have it both ways - if it's wrong for one, it's wrong for all. I think Juan Cruz handled it correctly - he plunked Torres in the knee. It could have done damage, but couldn't have killed Torres. If it's me, I probably drill the guy right between the numbers on the back of his jersey. Headhunting is low-class, no matter what.

It could have done damage, but couldn't have killed Torres. If it's me, I probably drill the guy right between the numbers on the back of his jersey. Headhunting is low-class, no matter what. I see that point of view, but I disagree for 1 simple reason.... For the most part, the people that enjoyed watching Sammy get drilled felt that way because "he deserved it" because of the fact that he's "showboated" for years now by doing his little hop thing when he hits a HR. I don't think that is a valid reason to hit someone in the head with a deadly weapon. Now, on the other hand, you have a pitcher up to bat who DID hit someone on your team with a deadly weapon. I feel that the pitcher made a decision by hitting that person, and they have to suffer the consequences of that action. For example, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. Clemens drilled Piazza in the head and pretty much knocked him out cold, and many (including myself) feel that was an intentional beaning. As a teammate of Mike's, I would want to get even with Clemens as soon as possible, and a head shot would not be out of line IMO. Turn about is fair play, and someone like Clemens made a choice, and he's going to have to live with it. So while it can be viewed as hypocritical, I disagree for the above reason.

clujer420 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 The worst "headhunter" in baseball is Roger Clemens. Yet he is revered and respected at all times. Sure, he's respected because he's one of the best pitchers of the last 25 years, and it's not only because he's a good pitcher -- it's because he has the balls to pitch inside, and if he hits somebody above the numbers, so be it. That's old school baseball. That is something that is a dying trend in the game. Very few young pitchers today are willing to throw inside on a regular basis, and that's why they end up with ERA's in the 5's, because they throw everything middle-out, instead of middle-in. At the same time that he's respected, there are a lot of people, like Piazza, who would love to beat his ass given the opportunity, and if those guys were pitchers, it's questionable as to whether or not Roger would still bean them. If Roger was in the NL, or if the AL didn't have the DH, I don't think he would throw inside as much as he does. Guys like Curt Schilling and Kevin Brown (when healthy) would stick on in Roger's ear if he threw at one of their teammates, and Roger would think twice before doing it again.
