I disagree. You pitch inside, and hit the other teams best hitter, than you better be looking for some "inside" pitches.

There is a huge difference between pitching inside to a hitter and purposely hitting them. The best retaliation is beating them, so lets not give them any advantage by putting guys on base for them.

There is absolutely no reason to intentionally hurt another player. Sabathia whining is not justification for potentially ending another players career on purpose. This is absolute stupidity.

Agreed. Cooler heads will prevail tomorrow. As Drungo said, the manager will do the right thing here if anything needs doing.

Drama, drama...you can send a message without " ending another players career" . This isn't tiddlywinks. So, there is, never, in your mind, any reason, ever, to demonstrate to the other team that certain on field actions are unacceptable?

Somehow it sure has happened a lot over the years I have watched baseball. i guess Don Drysdale and Bob Gibson were just "stupid".

It was not clearly intentional (hitting Nick). If we were to get a 4 or 5 run lead then maybe Buck would send a big ole screw you by having someone plunked. Right now though you not going to put this team at risk by intentionally putting runners on in a game that has playoff implications. Especially in light of the fact you just lost a key player. If it had been intentional or percieved as such by Buck then payback would have happened tonight at some point.

Payback was not happening in late innings of a close game tonight.

But there are nine innings tomorrow to get the job done if we are down or up big.

Excuse me? You throw a 90+ mph fastball with the intent of harming someone and you absolutely guarantee your not going to put them in the hospital with a cracked skull? Since when?

Intentionally hitting someone with the intent to hurt them isn't just stupid, it's criminal. I don't care what your name is or how many guys you've hit. Holding up Drysdale and Gibson as some kind of evidence that injuring people on purpose is some kind of acceptable practice is just idiotic.

You are not going to win any argument where you advocate intentionally hurting anyone. Just stop now.

This is sick and sad, and I hope its just a joke. If not you need to have your head examined.

I'm not talking about headhunting. But something very hard chest level would be fine.

And Gregg would the perfect guy to do it. If he gets suspended we loose nothing that Steve Johnson cant do better.

      2023 vs 2024 Player WAR & 2025 Opportunities

      Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off.

      I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.

      As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did.

      The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.

      Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen

      Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.

      Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
