Compete and strike his #@#@#@ out.

Is that too hard of a concept for your mind??

Please elaborate on how a 95 mph fastball to the back is "competing"?

You are a moron. Seriously.

Who has even remotely implied this is what they want?

We should set this up. Great idea!

Purposely hitting someone is competing?

Are you guys seriously complaining about this? It's gotta be because you spent a ton on Acuna right?

Throwing inside is pitching to him. It's what pitchers have done for 150 years. This isn't T-Ball.

i think acuna should wear a nascar helmet and some body padding like eddie murphy in the klumps next time at the plate.

Just heard that the streak is still active since he was HBP in his first plate appearance!

Do you think that's any faster than Bob Gibson or Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson who threw inside to control the plate? Are you guys seriously this soft?

My thoughts, you’re a blabbering fool

Hitting batters intentionally is not part of baseball. I don't care what decade you were born in. If every time it happened the batter could walk it off without issue, fine. But that's obviously not the case.

But if you can't handle the fact that getting hit is part of the game, I don't know what to tell you.

Getting hit intentionally with a 97.5 mph fastball because you keep hitting bombs makes no sense. You look like a complete tool defending that.

If you can't handle that fact, I don't know what to tell you.

You are simply trolling, admit it. Embrace it.

Well that escalated quickly.

Classic example of people who don't get it... don't get that they don't get it.

I’d say the Braves should hit the Marlins Superstar player to get even!#Derp

Plenty of other people have responded to you already, but since you were quoting me I'll throw in my thoughts as well.

The only money I have in Acuna are the cards I've pulled of him in packs. Which will stay in my PC because I'm a Braves fan. So don't act like I'm upset because I'm worried about losing money on his injury - I'm not.

I never said to throw it down the middle - I said to do your job, which is to try and strike the guy out, get a ground ball, pop out, etc. Not intentionally throw at the guy (and there's no doubt it was intentional). If Acuna was known as being a cocky bigshot I might see it, but as far as I know he's not. Urena was just straight up scared of being made to look foolish and took the easy way out.

Of course they should... because according to our analyst here... THAT is part of the game!

The "i" should be capitalized, "lol" isn't a word, and the second line is a sentence fragment.

Irony.

That was disgusting. Total bush league.

Another thing no one is discussing...

If he was white this wouldn't have happened.

Much easier to do this to a young black player. Black pitcher vs black hitter. Again, if he was white this wouldn't have played out the way it did.

And this makes me sick.

This may be the single dumbest statement I've seen on these boards. Pitchers accidentally hitting people or nailing people in the back, butt may be a part of the game, but not this. Congrats for the troll post of the year

Well, this thread has officially left the rails. Pack it up boys, this thread is a lost cause.

escapegoat · 08-15-2018, 08:03 PM

So many whiners in here. Acting like people have never been hit with a baseball before.

What....? Why did you come to this conclusion?
