CNS might want to take a look at that pitcher on D. That's the funniest shit I've seen this year.

He was playing football; but it wasn't time to play football. ~ Sheenan on NFL violence.

If there was ever a time for your dugout to actually throw punches for you, it's right there.

I played baseball all my life and into college, and nothing pisses me off more than teams running out of their dugouts huffing and puffing and never doing anything about it. Why even leave? You can stand around like they do in your own dugout. Let the coaches and umps seperate the involved parties. Just a little pet peeve of mine. Get your boy's back in those situations.

The kid is done. Very excellent tackle... just wrong sport.

Dude had a major mental breakdown after giving up the homerun. There is no place for that in the game of baseball.

There's no crying, or tackling, in baseball!

ROLLTIDE!

@im4uainva

And why the big deal...all pitchers give up home runs...at some time.
"Good pitching beats good hitting and visa-versa "
Or something like that

suspended 4 games and still facing expulsion...

To be fair, I don't see what he did as any different than deliberately hitting a guy with a 95 mph fast ball wherever it lands. These guys have control, but even the pros can let one get away from them and all it takes is a deliberate intent and they could kill someone.

I'm not cool with his actions, but deliberately hitting a guy and coming in high and tight are just as deliberate and those guys aren't expelled and kicked out of the majors. Tennessee's coach made contact with an ump, who knows where that goes if the ump doesn't walk away, he isn't fired.

 

[Rolltide24]

Anyone know what the batter said to the pitcher while rounding the bases?

 

[Justneedme81]

looks like he was kicked off the team.

This would be more akin to the guy plunking the runner with a new ball while he was rounding the bases. It's outside the frame of competition, sort of like Charles Martin knocking Jim McMahon out of the game, body slamming him several seconds after a pass. There are all sorts of opportunities for misadventures during play (hitting a batter, spiking a fielder, etc.), but when you do something completely out of the realm of the game, it usually gets punished more severely.

Probably not for the tackle but for giving up the go ahead HR. This is Texas after all.

Thank you sir I’ll take another?

I understand. I was speaking more to intent more than anything. Attempting to hit a guy is assault. Do it on the street, it's assault. Intentionally hitting someone is not a rule of the game, it's an unspoken one. One that gets you ejected and even fined I believe. They are trying to get it out of the game. I'm simply stating his intent was no different than a guy waiting to hit and hurt the next guy for doing the same. Just my two cents and looking at it from a different perspective than I normally would. My normal mindset is expressed in my first post about that being a reason to trade some knuckles if there ever was one in a bench clearing situation.

I agree, I was stunned there was not a full-on brawl on the field. It's almost like everyone on both teams acknowledged this was an individual act that had nothing to do with team play.

Same here.
