    Don’t know if it was mentioned but it’s very possible Mattingly ordered Ureńa to hit Acuńa.

    Roger that twister. I can see why it ruffled some feathers in this day and age. But I love the old school and that was straight old school.

    I dont need to research any of it. I'm well aware of how it used to be. You're missing the point of it. It doesnt solve anything now because theres no retaliation allowed. So its just cheap and useless. Sometimes as a person you just have to adjust to how things are, you cant just get bitter and old and talk about how it used to be like your grandparents. It just makes you seem disgruntled.

    Rather watch that than a bunch of premaddona's on the court whining to the refs on every call they didn't even get touched on aka the recent NBA.

    I love the pete rose days also

    I also know the unwritten rules and why they exist

    I just really don't like when someone is good at something and other players cant adjust and resort to something that could cause injury...this is only a game after all

    I am not the disgruntled one. I agreed with the Giant, I loved every second of it. Just felt a bit cheated that the bench clearing didn't turn into a bigger altercation.

    Early indications are Acuna avoided a serious injury. X-rays showed his left elbow was not fractured by a 97.5-mph fastball -- the highest velocity Urena has registered with the first pitch he has thrown in any career start.
    I have a new favorite player. If these pussies can't handle being brushed back, they don't belong in the major leagues. This is nothing more than Dominicans vs Venezuelans. They hate each other.

    I didn't watch the previous two games between the Marlins and the Braves.
    Is it possible that Acuna might have shown up the Marlins or said something to them to make them this upset?

    I took the Braves run line. I made that bet with the intent that Jose Urena was struggling and the Braves were gonna take advantage.
    I survived. No harm no foul for me.

    Dumbass Urena understands he's in the NL right ?
    It may be a month , two months or next year .
    His ass is drilled his next at bat vs Braves if I was manager . May even pull starter in 3rd , bring in the reliever who throws absolute heat to send a message , let him know yanking the starter , it's coming , we don't forget .

    Played 4 rounds of golf vs Big O last bash in punta cana. Fukin Guy was kicking my ass. 1st hole of 4th round I took my driver out and blasted him with a rocket off the tee while he was smoking a cigar. Message sent.

    Can I punch you in the face and then say I sent a message? But during this process you will not be allowed to do anything because everyone will hold you back afterwards and not allow you to get any shots off at me.
    Afterwards, I will say you’re a pussy because you are mad about the message I delivered. Would this make me a bad ass? No it would make me a little bitch period. This is what urena is.
    Pitchers are allowed a free license to plunk someone with no recourse. Would urena be your favorite player if acuna after getting plunked was allowed a free swing with his weapon, the bat?
    If you can’t understand the hypocrisy of this I guess we will just leave it at that because I don’t think I can make it any clearer.

    Never understood the concept of it being ok to throw a hard ball 95mph from a raised mound 66’ away to send a message. I do get the whole throw a guy inside to get him off the plate but come on. You’re talking guys livelihoods. Christ you can’t even hit a guy across the middle in football anymore with pads & a helmet on

    I was surprised the bench didn't clear, shitty teammates.


    If baseball had fighting like NHL then it would interesting to watch.

    the thing i dont like with pitchers hitting ppl is that they dont have to take the consequences themselves. the other team just hits one of their batters. if the batter charges the mound he wont have any time to get any good shots since all the pitchers teammates will stop him. like goduke said, the batter cant take a bat to the pitcher or he would go to jail. if the batter could use his bat and break the pitchers arm with no consequences then that would be fair.
