Braves up to the same old dirty shenanigans

Re: Braves up to the same old dirty shenanigans

So, when a pitch goes over McCann's head last night (immediately following a HR), and then he gets hit again the next night, it just slipped.

Soriano gets plunked, it's on purpose. Alrighty.

That was a curve ball not a fast ball. Nice try. Wow, some of the replies are just feeble. Did you honestly think no one would point out that one was a curve ball and one was a fastball?

Re: Braves up to the same old dirty shenanigans

I'm not a Braves fan but have watched that video at least 5 times in the last few minutes and it doesn't look to me like Bennett was throwing at Soriano. Plus, Soriano even turned into it like he might swing. Since when have the Braves been considered dirty?

I was at the game last night and came home and saw the replay. It definitely looked like he kept his shoulder tucked in so to not open up at the risk of throwing away. Not only that but it looked like he stepped in a way to direct his throw inside.

Excuses? You might want to get your terms right. We won the game yesterday and today. WTF.

Re: Braves up to the same old dirty shenanigans

That's just bad luck. Soriano's stance leaves him vulnerable to inside pitches that may get away. That's why guys like him Rickie Weeks and Biggio always get hit. Calling the Braves the dirtiest team in baseball is laughable.

The Braves threw at Soriano last year when he had multiple HRs against them. Thats how the Braves work. Thats what they are. If they get frustrated they start throwing at guys.

Apparently you are no longer allowed to go up and in on a guy that hangs out over the plate anymore. If you do, that makes you dirty.

Wow, it was established early on in the thread that theres a history with Atlanta throwing at Cubs batters and Soriano specifically. That old school response might have some validity otherwise.

Re: Braves up to the same old dirty shenanigans

One of the most rediculous accusations I've ever read. A guy who was put in to start in an emergency situation lost control of one pitch & you think he was throwing @ Soriano. Unbelievable. I watched it live on TV last night & there was no was there was any malice in that pitch. Bennett had a worried look on his face the entire time after the throw. Folks need to get a grip.

Worried look on his face? Are you kidding? Give me a break. Oh, and let me guess, Bennett also like kittens so theres no way he could throw at someone. PLEASE.

Exactly. Looks to me like Bennett let a fastball get away from him that rode up and in.

Seriously, take off the Cubs glasses. You aren't seeing things clearly. Disappointment over Soriano getting injured is making you see all sorts of stuff. I've been there. I watched the Steelers take out Carson Palmer in a playoff game. I was seeing all sorts of things and had no idea what to believe.

Also, there is a multi-quote function in the forums too.

Theres a history with the Braves, as I said. And Soriano actually doesnt get hit by pitches that often. Thats not the case against the Braves, however, especially in instances where they have a reason to be frustrated.

Apparently your "history" of the Braves being a dirty team spans two whole days. What a horrible organization...

Re: Braves up to the same old dirty shenanigans

I'm sure they hit the guy today on purpose, too.

I don't know how you Braves fans can live with yourselves knowing you cheer for a bunch of classless, disgusting thugs.

I'd chime in, but I'm too disgusted with the team to care.
