What are others thoughts on Cole Hamels admitting that he threw at
Bryce Harper on purpose?
Harper took the message professionally, as did Hamels when Jordan Zimmermann
plunked him.
Hamels response being "welcome to the big leagues".
Hamels did have to pay for this later in the inning, when runners on 1st and 3rd, Hamels attempted a pickoff at 1st, but Harper stole home.
Seems though some Nationals fans are upset, and that Hamels should be suspended, and/or fined. Zimmermann did throw a retaliation pitch, umpire issued warnings, and nothing else happened.
When Harper and Hamels were hit, neither player showed any signs of pain or injury. Harper was hit in the lower back, Hamels lower left leg. Harper played the whole game, Hamels pitched 8 innings.
I don't think MLB is going to pursue any kind of actions, because both players
acted professionally about it.
