    Guarantee you that if you got hit with a genuine suspension for throwing deliberately at a guys head, say 80 games, you stop doing it. (if not then frankly you are too stupid to belong in the league).

    Throwing at someones arse or ribs, I don't care, no big deal, but throw at a guys head and genuinely you shouldn't be allowed near a baseball diamond as far as I'm concerned. It's not remotely hyperbolic to say that can kill someone, or forever ruin their career and it is completely unnecessary. If it happens by accident, sure that's an occupational hazard, but if a guy does that deliberately then that's a whole different story.

      My thought was that he is implying it's an acceptable hazard. What happened to Bryce Harper last week I find to be an acceptable hazard...not what happened today.

        90 wins by late August. Pretty good.

          I'm a Yankee fan. So I probably sound bias. But I'm telling you. I've watched Dellin for a long time. This man has always been wild. I mean I don't even think he knows where it's going on some days. I've seen him walk the bases loaded then strike out the side.

          Under the circumstances. Obviously it seemed intentional. But this is the reason Betances has struggled to maintain the closer spot. He's always had the pure stuff, But he can be incredibly wild at times.

          I really don't think he was head hunting, and as I've said before it made no sense to do that. The message was already sent. Betances going after someone would be utterly pointless.

            Getting back to baseball...Sanchez has been on a tear. 11 HRs in his last 19 games or something? Is he destined to be a DH with how much Girardi laments his defense?

              He's 10 times the defender and player Romine is. Girardi said he wasn't sending a message when he benched Sanchez Which is complete nonsense lol.

              Gary is the catcher. And should be. He's had some lapses back there and he leads the league in passed balls, and obviously that's not a good look.

              But the guy has a cannon and he will improve on blocking pitches and pitch framing among other things.

              I dont mind him DH'n once in a while, but it's tough to do with Romine's anemic bat in the lineup.

              But to answer your question. Yes he should be the catcher and the Yankees should look for a better BUC in the off-season to help Sanchez through the grind.

                I understand this, but I also don't want the league interpreting intent.

                That's what's led other sports leagues to be inconsistent, ridiculous, comical piles of garbage.

                        Sounds like Terry Collins will not be back as the Mets manager next season.

                          Also I like that "scurried away" was changed to "backed away to safety" . I saw the video and he barely moves after the punch.

                          Just saw the Miggy one too. He's gonna get suspended for this for sure.
                          Sorry for the delay. Here's a link.

                              I actually like these jerseys. The accent really works well with a lot of teams.

                                Miggy gets 7 games, Gary only gets 4? What?

                                Alex Wilson 4 for throwing at Todd Frazier.

                                Romine 2 for fighting, which is garbage but whatever.

                                Ausmus 1 for Wilson throwing at Frazier.

                                Fines for Girardi, Yankees bench coach Rob Thomson, Brett Gardner, Tommy Kahnle, Jose Iglesias, Clint Frazier, and Garrett Cooper.
