Boston vs Detroit 8/11

Miguel Cabrera gets hit on the hand by a pitch in the first (totally Cabrera's fault, ball may have been over the plate) so Porcella throws at Victor Martinez in the bottom half and misses but Victor has a few words for him. Cabrera has to leave the game after his next AB because he just can't swing the bat so Porcello nails Youk in the bottom half of the inning.

 

It seems like a misguided attempt by a rookie to protect his teammate.

Youk got owned pretty badly. Porcello do a nice throw when he got charged and basically body slammed Youk.

That's the complete opposite of what happened. Porcello was practically running away and Youk's momentum brought them both down.

I watched it and saw the replay 3 times. It was a clear side step and throw. If Youk's momentum was what brought them down, then Youk wouldn't have ended up on his back.

I agree, and none of Porcello's teammates got between them until it was too late. They just stood there and watched.

It might have been misguided, but his teammates will love him for it, and he didn't screw around with scrubs, he went after some big guns. It probably makes more sense, because they have a better chance of getting on base anyway.

Porcello 100% guaranteed yes. Youk, probably, but who cares?

 

What are you watching, Youkalis charged the mound which is an automatic suspension pretty much and he threw a batting helmet which is just a complete cheap shot. He will not only get suspended but of the 2 id imagine he is going to get a longer one. Im glad that Porcello threw Youkalis to the ground too, never cared much for the guy.

Youkilis's will be shorter because Porcello's a pitcher.
