2011 MLB Season Game Thread: May

[Valid]

I just hope it doesn't get out of hand with them throwing at us today.. While it sucks what happened to Posey.

Don't see why it would. They'll probably throw at us once, and that will be the end of it. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they didn't throw at us at all.

[Ralph]

eh they retaliate you gotta hit em right back.

[AdamRavs]

The whole running into the catcher thing is a damned if you do damned if you don't.. You slide head 1st IE: Josh Hamilton you get hurt. You slide feet 1st the catcher is blocking the plate. You bowl him over and you run the risk of either hurting yourself or the catcher. Its part of the game. Feel bad for Posey but what can ya do? Cousins didn't know he didn't have the ball.

No way. Them throwing at one of us is the end of it. If you retaliate, then it becomes a war.

Nyger Morgan brawl 2.0? Anibal is a lot smaller than Volstad.

[Mainge]

Gaby is still the same size, though.

[Omar]

There doesn't need to be a brawl. However accidentally, we knocked their star player out for the season. Take one on the hip and move on.

[Ramp]

I expect us to be hit 2-3 times today

[Big Z]

They're still talking about Posey repeatedly on ESPN and MLB Network.It's like if Posey were god or something.

Last year when Hayes was hit, it was not this big of a deal and it was a dirty play.

Bochy and Posey's agent are idiots for wanting MLB to pass a rule for things like this not to happen. It's fucking baseball, get your pussies off the pavement fellas.

Posey



































Hayes

Posey



































Hayes

This, oh and the Giants are the defending WS champs.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Well, Hayes' hit sort of became a big deal but that was only after Nyjer Morgan went all thug on us. Then they talked about the hit that started the brawl and the legendary Gaby Sanchez clothesline.

[Big Z]

It should not be getting this much national attention. It is getting ridiculous.

[jOOj]

I asked it once and I'll keep asking. What rule change do you make?? There isn't one.

[Swifty]

Yeah, I think the change you make is remind your catcher (1) if you're low to the ground waiting on a throw, you're conceding a tremendous amount of leverage to an incoming runner and (2) the odds of the perfect throw necessitating a block of the plate are so slim that you're better off just waiting on it off the plate.
