Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

What happened in the Toronto game after the warning? Someone hit someone and didn't get tossed?

Was it clearly accidental as Melancon's was?

Tulo got hit high up and in on the forearm, no ejection. Royals guy got hit in the calf, ejection.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

The rules don't say a warning requires an ejection with a hit batter.

That's why I asked if it was clearly intentional or not. The umpire is allowed to make the decision. A warning just means if it's deemed intentional ejections will follow.

So your post was a bit unclear, and again I'm just curious because of what happened in the Pirates game, but was it pretty clearly intentional? Baserunners on? What were the outs and score scenario at the time?

The Tulo HBP was dangerous as hell too. It was up by the wrist area which could've led to an injury.

Tulo was hit with a runner on 2nd one out Toronto up by 2. No ejection

Escobar was hit with two outs bases empty, score 3-0. Ejection.

And to make it worse, Jays had to put in their closer who wasn't even warmed up(since obviously he didn't expect to go in during the 8th) so he was put in to face Royals while he was cold,and gave up a HR which made it a 3-2 game.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

This is 3rd or 4th time Royals had bench clearing incident this year isn't it? And they initiated it too didn't they? I think their dugout was first on field, then Jays dugout came after, and then Jays bullpen door opened and those guys ran down the field like crazy to join in.

(lol ya,they got same colors. But blue is Jays,grey is Royals)

Oh and I like the Royals but they're a bunch of pricks.

It's getting pretty impossible to keep liking them.

Edinson Volquez on Josh Donaldson: "He's a little baby. He was crying like a baby."

Ya, what kind of player gets upset that he got hit by a pitch and almost drilled in the head 2 other times in the exact same game....

Volquez is just being a sore loser cause he's 0-4 vs Jays in his career.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

I think Volquez has a point when he says "If somebody hits you, you’ve got to take it, because you’re pimping everything you do.”

JD bat flipped a ****ing WALK today. A walk.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

Bad news is that this is last Jays-Royals series of season.
Good news is that if Jays-Royals do play again this year,it'll be ALDS or ALCS!

I think Volquez has a point when he says "If somebody hits you, you’ve got to take it, because you’re pimping everything you do.”

JD bat flipped a ****ing WALK today. A walk.

Getting hit sure, but getting hit, having pitcher and both teams get a warning, and then the opposing teams pitcher throws right at your head again on 2 diff occasions,while the umpire doesn't even do anything about that...can't blame Donaldson for getting mad about that and then bat flipping a walk during the heated moment.

Maybe abit of reputation too cause I'm sure Jays players were well aware of the Royals incidents this season too,and Volquez being one of the guys suspended for his role in it.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread

I don't mind the difference in DH rules but this one of those times I wished the pitcher had to bat in the AL. One on the ribs of Volquez would do it. Even better, he might be more "careful" in the first place.
