"Yesterday I get upset, they hit one guy and they throw in into another guy. I got upset. I know for a fact they're not throwing at nobody, but enough is enough," Guillen said. "I have Konerko bruised all over the place. Around the league, be careful because we're going to hit people. I don't care if I get suspended because I need to protect my players."

 

The White Sox have been hit by pitches 45 times this season, fifth in the majors. The Indians have been hit 65 times, most in the majors.

 

"When we went to Cleveland they hit two guys, not on purpose, but someone can get hurt out there. You can pitch in, but if you don't know how don't do it," he said. "It gets to the point when they hit us seven times, 20 times in one week and we hit one and they're the headhunters and that's a [problem] with major league baseball."

 

Guillen also warned: if he suspects a pitcher is intentionally throwing at one of his players, expect multiple retaliation.

 

"If I see someone hit my player, and I know they hit him on purpose it's two guys going down. I don't care if I get suspended," Guillen said. "I rather have me suspended for two games than have my players on the DL for 30 days."

(Bonus obscure nerd points for anyone who can call where the thread title is adapted from).

Ozzie needs to keep his mouth shut and just do what he has to do.

 

Now that he's run his mouth, the next time a Sox pitcher hits a batter there will be warnings and suspensions.

 

Are you Jay Hineybird? Jay's back.

I hope Ozzie always remains Ozzie. He's great.

We'll see what happens. My money is on more Sox getting hit... Ozzie needs to shut up and just play the game. Ugh, enough already. So tired of his nonstop blabbering. Why contradict yourself? Either they're hitting you on purpose, or not. Why would you retaliate if YOU are saying you know it wasn't intentional? So dumb.

I was going to make the same response but to another post. WTF is up with this high horse "better than you" response all the time from the same posters? It gets old.

But, a lot of his managers threatened to start beanball wars.

 

But they were losing 17-0. In the bottom of the 5th.

MLB: Encouraging Being a p**** Since 1993-

The league is looking into comments Guillen made on Sunday about retaliation, according to an MLB source.

 

Paul Konerko, Gordon Beckham and Scott Podsednik were hit by pitches by the Cleveland Indians during the Sox's 8-5 win on Saturday.

 

Guillen pointed out he didn't think the Indians were throwing at his players, but he is frustrated by his players getting hit. The Sox have been hit 44 times this season, which is the fifth-highest total in the majors.

 

Guillen said he doesn't care if he gets suspended for retaliating.

 

"[On Saturday] I get upset, they hit one guy and they throw in into another guy," Guillen said on Sunday. "I got upset.

 

"I know for a fact they're not throwing at nobody, but enough is enough. I have Konerko bruised all over the place. Around the league, be careful because we're going to hit people. I don't care if I get suspended because I need to protect my players.

 

I miss the old baseball where you had an eye for an eye kind of mentality.
