Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I’ve seen a lot of baseball bench-clearing fights but never anything like that! Was the guy insulting his mom as he rounded the bases? I’m guessing the kid must be a two sport athlete. And it’s obvious what the other sport is. After that he might be a zero sport athlete! Unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 No taunting, the pitcher lost a W, not a no hitter or anything serious, it wasn’t even the last inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. no flipping the bat, no expression to his teammates in dugout, no arm waving. Watch the infield ump. He looks for the baserunner to tag 2nd, then the hitter to tag 2nd, and turns toward 3rd. No indication of the hitter saying anything. Just an angry, spoiled brat on the mound with no self control. Cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Minimum of kicked off the team and out of school. I think he should also be criminally charged with assault as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Its possible the pitcher had a $50,000 bet that NO ONE would hit a home run against him that day. OOPS! Actually, I have no clue as to why the pitcher acted that way, but stranger things have happened. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to be sympathetic to the pitcher, he deserves whatever he gets. You gotta wonder though if he has some screws loose. Think I'll say some prayers for him.

So apparently the batter said something that triggered the pitcher. No excuse though. He still needs to be kicked out of collegiate sports in my opinion. I know it’s the rules but I would have a hard time suspending anybody who came out of the dugout after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I didn't know, or realize, there was a penalty for taunting. I figure a Pitcher can taunt anytime they want when they throw a high, inside fast ball. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
