kilroy69 1,271 Posted June 8, 2016 Somehow someway I ended up snagging Duval off my waiver's. Some dude dropped him for mazra. While mazra is doing good to drop someone on pace for 40 plus Homers and 100 plus rbi is silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,282 Posted June 8, 2016 Baseball's two biggest b*tches throwing down. Ventura throws inside. Machado responds by talking sh*t after flying out. Ventura hits him next AB. Nice pair of clown shoes there. Hmmm, let's see.......Ventura has a multi-year history of throwing at Machado, and has been suspended a few times for throwing at people period......throws at machado during the first at bat, so when machado knocks in a run he gives the little weasel some verbiage.....and then gets hit at the next at bat.....

Cruzer 1,996 Posted June 8, 2016 Astros fans and the players have to be on suicide watch. I'm not sure how they're maintaining their sanity. Another late inning loss to my Rangers, 8-0 for the season, have yet to win one yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another late inning loss to my Rangers, 8-0 for the season, have yet to win one yet. Astros fans aren't bad, they've come to the realization that their team just isn't that good.

Hinch gets a lot of praise and props - but I think he's cost the Stros a few wins against us this year.... Like last night - I would of never let Keuchel go out for the 8th. I also would of stuck with the squeeze bunt after he had just 1 strike. I also would of possibly bunted a few more times during the series in other games, as well as last night.

Sorry, not subscribing to your version. Which part off my 'version' do you disagree with? The part where Machado chirped at Ventura the previous at bat? Or the part where I called them both punk bitches? The first was on video, the second...you can't possibly be arguing that only Ventura has a history of being an immature, hot-headed little sh*t. Or perhaps you assumed that by pointing them both out as colossal jokes I was somehow condoning Ventura's actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 1,271 Posted June 8, 2016 Throwing a 99 mph pitch into someones ribs on purpose should be counted as an assault. At the least it should mean that KCs best player gets his ribs broken by a fastball. It is funny how Ventura went from a rising star to a giant douchenozzle in a flash.

patweisers44 872 Posted June 8, 2016 Ventura is a POS punk, nothing more , nothing less. MLB network showed a history of his events and there were a few that I hadn't even heard about before, including an incident where Trout ripped a liner up the middle and Ventura jawed at him to the point that Trout got in his face after he scored....ventura was backing up home.

That they are both b!tches.....while still allowing that pretty much all baseball players behave like 12 year old girls when they don't like something, I think Machado was justified in barking at the guy for yet again throwing at him, and then after getting hit again having a go.

RaiderHaters Revenge 4,579 Posted June 8, 2016 Ventura threw high and tight 2 times before he finally beaned him, I am surprised with his history he wasn't immediately warned after the 2nd one. And I expect Machado to say something back to him after the sac fly, and after the rbi double, every player in the game would do the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course I didn't see much of Gibson, but from what I know, his intention of throwing inside was to move guys back. Not to injure. A lot of hitters had begun to crowd the plate at that time.

CantTouchThis 23 Posted June 8, 2016 It is a very safe location with a lot of other people around and as mentioned you do not have to stray far from the park. Good luck and have fun. Well, you don't want to go north, or NW, of the stadium, but all other directions are fine. I'd say to anyone not familiar with the area to stick to Greektown. The park is right there, and there are plenty of restaurants and fun bars, along with the casino. Level 2 and Shillelagh are my favorite bars, but the previously mentioned Cheli's is right there and a fun place. Nemo's is a ways away. Last time I was down a couple weeks ago, I was waiting for a friend to get out of work at Wayne State, so I parked near the campus and just walked all the way down John R, which dead ends at Comerica. I thought I was going to walk through the neighborhoods I was use to growing up around this area. It was actually really nice(in an artsy type of way, there was still a lot of plight, obviously), I never felt in danger and there was A LOT of renovation happening. I ended up watching BP for about 20 minutes and saw Miggy hit about 30 balls. That was incredible. He hit a few that had to of gone about 480', and this was right before he got red hot and started crushing everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pitchers were hitting during most of Gibson's career, so if one threw at somebody, the pitcher would sure be looking at getting one in his back when they came back up...

At the least it should mean that KCs best player gets his ribs broken by a fastball. It is funny how Ventura went from a rising star to a giant douchenozzle in a flash. I agree with this. The Oriole guy has to drop the bat, while the pitcher gets to throw a ball. Muchado should be able to get one shot in with the weapon he is holding since the other doosh already got his shot in. Also, anyone who comes off the bench should be tossed and suspended for the next 2 games without pay. And, when benches clear, all should be thrown out of the game and the game called. 8,000 paying customers would help put an end to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 1,271 Posted June 10, 2016 Just 9 games for Ventura. Brilliant call there, MLB. 9 games actually seems like a lot considering they gave odor 8 for landing a solid shot to joey bats face. They don't usually suspend pitchers for that long. Although for pitchers it should be 9 starts as they are not being used every day so them being suspended during their off days not really count as a punishment.

Cruzer 1,996 Posted June 10, 2016 9 games actually seems like a lot considering they gave odor 8 for landing a solid shot to joey bats face. Doesn't seem like a lot at all considering Ventura not only intended to injure Machado, he did it with a foreign object - basically a weapon.... Odor was simply reacting to the play, used his fist and was just trying to land a punch. Agreed though - he should have been 9 starts, not games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering how he is pitching, KC probably caught a bad break only losing him for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
