Plate-slapping


EvilMonkey

Recommended Posts

Not to start something again, but with the Crosstown series coming up, I thught it kinda funny that I saw this tonight. While watching sports highlights, they showed the Cubs game. Pierre comes barreling home, and the throw is dropped by the catcher. Pierre, not sure if he touched the plate, dives pack and slaps the plate. Then, seeing that the ump called him safe, he slapped the plate 4 more times. I wonder if Barrett would have thought it ok for the opposing catcher to sucker punch him while he lay on the ground slapping home plate? Hmmm.

Not to correct you or anything, but Barrett didn't even see the plate slap (from his own statements), and reacted only to Pierzynski walking towards him to get his helmet.

 

 

But yea...

Right, Barrett has said he never saw that. The whole dam plate slap discussion was just a way for people to try and blame AJ for something that he was at absolutely no fault for. Oh he slapped the plate....big f***in deal...this is baseball, it's an emotional game and that was a big play. The players don't go celebrate in a backroom, they stand right there at home plate and slap hands with a guy that just hit a home run.
