Go ahead, drill the Sox

We don't need to get in to a discussion of retaliation and beanball wars. Wild pitches by youthful rookies is the issue. I don't think you are going to hear a lot of chipping of teeth by the Sox or any team on a matter like this. If the coaching staff collectively feel it needs to be done they will plunk the opposing team as needed and won't be signaling their intentions to the media.

 

If Ozzie Guillen told you that the world was round, I think you'd believe it.

It's sad when a baseball team needs an enforcer.

 

I could see Peavy being an enforcer, but he'd injure himself.

 

Crain is too valuable.

 

Sergio is just nice.

WTF, an enforcer? Why can't the next guy out just hit someone, take the warning, and call it a day?

Because none of our guys do that.

 

We need a guy we know will take the ball and stand up for his teammates, regardless of anything else.

Why is that the case though? If our hitters are sick of being beaned, then why won't the pitchers stand up for them? Do the pitchers dislike the position players that much or are they under orders to never retaliate? Neither one of those is acceptable.

Everyone hates Paul Konerko?

I'll give him credit; he was honest...Sale on retaliation last night: "I don’t really do too well in situations like that."

Santos said that emotion can't factor into retaliation. He & pen saw what counts and pitches were being thrown, convinced HBP were accidents

Ozzie is all talk, has been for years. If you're ever going to retaliate tonight would have been the perfect time, you literally have nothing to lose. It's very frustrating.

 

I've been saying that for a long time now, and I believe you have been too. Ozzie is all bark and no bite.

Me neither.

Well I meant as far as him b****ing at me about this topic. I replied to him with that link and a little message and he hasn't said anything back. Obviously you can't totally shut that kid up, that's impossible to do.

I agree. I also did not see Tuesday but the replay showed that those were not Carlos Quentin type HBP's.

 

Hawk was vocal about it and I gotta say it really says something about this team and probably organization as a whole. Whether it was control or intentional you still need to make a point as these games mean nothing and then when they are winning 8-2 it makes it even easier.
