This is also 100% why they are using crowd noise this year to mask what players are saying. Imagine hearing those exchanges.cutuphalfdead wrote:yeah this was greatThe Argonaut wrote:I like Jomboy's take on it

Cintron, the hitting coach, apparently said something about Laureano's mother. His mother. What the hell? This guy was also apparently heavily involved in the cheating scandal.

Re: MLB
It feels like the Astros are now rubbing it in the other teams' faces that they are protected by the commissioners' office. Until MLB does something to dispel that notion, this stuff is going to continue.The Argonaut wrote:Cintron, the hitting coach, apparently said something about Laureano's mother. His mother.

Re: MLB
Well after one week of play the Mariners are already 6 games back (shocking!) and should really be the ones headhunting the Stros. I mean who gives a shit if M’s players get suspended. Too bad the M’s are total pussies and won’t do a damn thing. Meanwhile you got contenders like the A’s and Dodgers manning up. No wonder they are contenders. Strong minded and strong willed.numbers wrote:It feels like the Astros are now rubbing it in the other teams' faces that they are protected by the commissioners' office.

Re: MLB
I don't like players hitting each other with pitches or charging the Astros dugout. That isn't manly to me, it's childish. numbers is right that this was Manfred's job to fix and because he didn't take appropriate action when he had the chance, it is still a problem and it's still Manfred's problem to fix

Re: MLB
I’ll clarify my statement and partially agree with Argo:
Charging the dugout is stupid. There hasn’t been a legit fight since Nolan Ryan. Most of the guys stand around either pointing fingers or even joking with each other. Lame.
I am talking about throwing at batters. Do it.

Re: MLB
Nah, throwing at batters is legit dangerous. If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the fake fights because it's unlikely anyone will be hurt and we might get a funny Jomboy video out of it.Bammer wrote:I’ll clarify my statement and partially agree with Argo:

Re: MLB
If you go back and look at the clip where Bautista gets punched hard in the face by Rougned Odor, I'd contend that he got hit so hard because he didn't realize it was a punching fight until too late. He was probably prepared for a normal baseball fight where two guys kind of hug and grab each other until all their teammates show up and there's a big hug and grab party and then it ends. But Odor just punched him in the face and he wasn't expecting it.

How about this ... just let the two guys involved fight like men. Everyone else chill in your dugout. Isn't that what hockey players do?
