Clearly we're just total homers ... As the only team that suffered any suspensions from this ordeal was Toronto

Well, tk13, Hamas clearly watched the game. You know, since Volquez nearly missed JD's head in inning one when Donaldson leaped two feet in the air and took it off his bicep, had to instinctively duck to not get domed by a blazing fast changeup ... And apparently got hit in the 7th inning by Madson in the same at bat he struck out.

Poor guy.

You could argue he was trying to brush Donaldson off the plate in the 7th inning, but that's not illegal. Everybody does that. If you're sitting here arguing, like Donaldson and our friendly Cards fans, that he was trying to take his head off and load the bases for Bautista in a 2 run game... that would be dirty, and stupid. You're basically saying we were okay with throwing the game just to knock Donaldson's head off. If he really wanted to do that, he would've done it with the next pitch. Instead he struck Donaldson out.

But derp te derp derp, don't you see how many situations we've put ourselves in this year? I mean clearly it's our fault that Donaldson was acting like a bitch for being thrown inside on. derp de derp derp

I guess the "best fans in baseball" are used to making up narratives, though.

Hootie · 08-04-2015, 11:13 PM

I don't doubt Hamas has sports knowledge, and even baseball knowledge at that ... But he's been God damn embarrassing in this particular thread.

Nightfyre · 08-04-2015, 11:20 PM

Since when are batters entitled to own the whole plate? That is the entire point of brushing dudes back. But these guys these days have nothing to fear with robot elbow pads. If you give the batter the ability to crowd the plate, you can't throw strikes without risking long balls. Hence, you pitch inside. If the batter doesn't respect the space, he gets hit. I thought this was common knowledge.

Only because Sanchez threw at a guy after the warning, not before. The only Royal I could have seen being suspended was Volquez and that was because he all but admitted after the game that he threw at Donaldson on purpose because he pimped HRs.

Is this strategery? Sorry, I only follow the AL. Strategery isn't done in the AL

They could still suspend Volquez if they wanted. They fined Ventura for hitting Lawrie and suspended him for yelling at Adam Eaton.

If they were going to suspend Volquez, wouldn't they have done it while announcing the Jays' suspensions?

That's the point. They didn't. There doesn't have to be a warning to fine or suspend a guy.

...exactly. If the Royals were the bad guys here, they would've seen some suspensions. They didn't. Surprise, surprise.

The changeup was so unintentional the umpire didn't toss Volquez because IT WAS A ****ING CHANGEUP. Omg this is baseball 101.

And Madson wasn't trying to intentionally hit Donaldson, either. And if you think that, you're a ****ing moron.

Baseball 101 does not always apply. All of it was intentional. And I don't care. We've ****ed off plenty of games so screw your pitch selection on the plunks. Crafty is all it is.

You sound like a Patriots fan, defending the undefendable to the end.. And the moron thing is uncalled for.
