Madman is right though, nothing impressive about that play. Happens all the time.

The whole picture, I should have said, in a textual account?Originally posted by Hugg View PostComment

Maybe not, but then again most baseball plays don't.
Saying someone hit a home run doesn't give you the whole picture either.Comment

No, it doesn't. It'd be like posting "Juan Pierre hit a homerun" in here and not telling anyone it was an inside-the-park homer. Nothing wrong with a little context, and nowhere did I say it was unimpressive or common.

Someone get Rizzo a tissue...It's safe to say that Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo isn't too thrilled with Cole Hamels' way of welcoming Bryce Harper to the big leagues.
"I've never seen a more classless, gutless [expletive] act in my 30 years in baseball," Rizzo told Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post.
The act, if you're unaware at this point, was Hamels intentionally hitting the Nationals rookie in the first inning of Sunday night's game. Hamels admitted he hit him on purpose and Rizzo isn't happy about it.
"Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the opposite of old school. He's fake tough," Rizzo said. "He thinks he's going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year-old rookie who's eight games into the big leagues. He doesn't know who he's dealing with."
Rizzo added he believed Hamels should receive not just a suspension, but that a message needs to be sent.
"With all the bounty [stuff] going on in professional football, the commissioner better act with a purpose on this thing," Rizzo said. "Players have a way of monitoring themselves. We're not here to hit people and hurt people.
"He thinks he's sending a message to us of being a tough guy. He's sending the polar opposite message. He says he's being honest; well, I'm being honest. It was a gutless chicken [expletive] [expletive] act. That was a fake-tough act. No one has ever accused Cole Hamels of being old school."

Well, the Nats did hit Hamels in his AB after the hit on Harper occurred and Hamels was actually squaring up to bunt.
