Buck Accuses Sabathia of Throwing at Davis?

Take the high road. After that, if nothing is done, take it into your own hands. We shall see.

We have more games vs them. Buck's probably using this to motivate the team. Maybe a little. This is where we miss tommy Hunter. Jorge rondon looks like he can handle himself.

At what point last season did Davis' suspension shock us?

Follow up question, wasn't it when we played the Yanks?

Ugh, I dislike our rivals.

Honestly in the game, I did not think he was throwing at him. The one at his head was TOO bad a pitch to be intended to hit him. It is very rare you see someone intentionally aim at someone's head. The other was on a full count. I think he was trying to pitch inside, and jam Davis, but was wild because of rust, and maybe nerves.

That said, the Yankees are the real looser. Sabathia is really a fat, out of shape, 90 mph slop throwing Left handed Ubaldo at this point...and they gave him 142M:D

Not sure why they'd throw at a guy that they'll look to sign this offseason.

Davis is so huge though. Why doesn't he try and intimidate pitchers when they throw at him or hit him?

Because he could be their teammate next year.

But Girardi was trying to tell Carlos Gomez to be classy. The Markakis injury was huge in 2012. Hopefully someone from the league was paying attention.

They won't. The Yankees can do what they please without them having to worry

about MLB coming down on them.

Is Joe Torre the head of the MLB discipline arm?

Showalter on Davis, who reached base five times:

"They throw a ball over this head, hit him. Not intentionally, but that's the type of stuff good hitters have to deal with. They're pitching him hard in. Much like (Nick) Markakis. It reminded me a lot of how they used to have to pitch Nick in there with (CC) Sabathia. Chris hung in there and never gave in and made them pay."

Last night I had a fleeting thought that Zach had a perfect chance to level A-Roid...

He did.

He struck him out to end the game.

Seems pretty clear that Buck was specifically not accusing Sabathia of throwing at Davis intentionally. So the entire premise of this thread is wrong.

The season is over. Why not land a punch on the fat man? He's throwing at your head. Davis is going to be the one doing the hurting.

I'd rather we throw at their players than rush the mound, but I wouldn't mind charging the mound if they are throwing at your head and it's pretty obvious what they are doing.

Because teams with honor and class and integrity let the other team wallow in the muck. I think a Showalter-led team is above that kind of childishness. Buck respected Earl, and Earl's philosophy on beanball wars and fights was to never get into them because they cost you too much.

Could be a little clever misdirection by Buck there as not to set off a maelstrom of words between two rival clubhouses. He has never seemed like a man who chooses his words without some level of thought. He brings attention to it, but deflected with two words and yet people still have it in their minds.
