I love when the announcer said that the guy was throwing a curve ball but it was a 91 mile per hour pitch.

Wait nevermind he never said it was a curveball lol my bad

Still better than that dickhead Jack Edwards calling a hockey game.

@@andersonscott3326 he did

The Mets broadcast crew once criticized their own pitcher for hitting a guy

jocman96 funny how he’s on the Rangers too lol.

Nah he just didn’t want prince to crack his skull open like a clam

That's what I was thinking. What's the deal.

Ryrysmoke14 because he’s black

In 2014 he was the former NL MVP

@@reedlesmeister8804 in 2014 he was the MVP, in 2015 he was the former MVP.

@@westsideken came here to post this

M G McCutchen is one tough customer.

That would hurt

Ha

So long, fatso.

Underrated comment.

@@friedchickenicedtea says the dude who looks like he weighs about 400 pounds

Oftentimes the backstory goes back to a previous game, or in the case of the famous Noah Syndegaard/Ruben Tejada (Tom Hallion "ass in the jackpot") ejection, the previous season.

The Lackey one was entirely appropriate in my opinion - first pitch was wild and behind the batter, second pitch hits him. Umpire wasn't giving him a third chance. At some point player safety has to come into it. If you can't hit the zone as a pitcher, you shouldn't be playing

But Kershaw didn't look that intentionally. He throw a little bit inside, but batter also stand too inside. Lackey throw first pitch in the game and be rejected...

*desserts* Deserts are big areas of sand.

@@stevensmith8666 True except in Maine. Ooops!

@@vegasjaywang Second. The first was behind the batter too. They let off the first one cos he was rusty, coming off an injury, but there was bad blood between the teams and when the first pitch was behind the batter and the second plunked him, the umps decided there was no choice but to take action otherwise it'd become a bloodbath.

They’re Professional pitchers. It’s always intentional

True that. I don't know why announcers make a big deal about a warning. An ump can throw out a guy if it's a pitch that could injure without warning at any time. I know that teams feel like if a starter is thrown out it's a disadvantage, but with the universal DH and pitch counts, it really doesn't matter as much anyway unless it's an ace.

It looked to me like he was just walking in that direction to meet up with the umpires.

@@dingdong7610 They should tell their pitchers to quit being assholes then

@@bonchbonch The umpires were nowhere where he was walking until it was clear he was walking towards the hitter. In addition, Ventura had a reputation for being a hot head, so they knew the situation could easily explode.

@@eauhomme He was walking in the direction everyone else was heading.

Especially Tommy Hutton. Which is why he got fired.

@@capeck1993 I thought he quit.

@@dominicanthony9083 No, he got fired

@@capeck1993 not suprised considering how many people hate him.

@@dominicanthony9083 Lmaooo!!!

Kenneth Busler you can’t always help what way the pitch goes fking bitch

@@XGNLightfoot nice language. Loser. We're talking about INTENTIONALLY throwing at a batter. Before you have to Google what intentionally means, it means on purpose.. I guess I should expect it from someone who's channel consists of them playing video games.

Bro I said this a week ago

what about you don't throw a baseball at any batter because intentionally trying to hit someone is for one uncalled for and second of all that's not part of the game. it also shows that you have no respect for others.

@@tristanspeegle562 Whether you like it or not it *IS* a part of the game and has been forever, thats why there's rules about it.

Or take a TARDIS to the Indians-Yankees game on August 16, 1920. While Carl Mays did not _intend_ to hit Ray Chapman...

exactly it dont hurt sittin up their in the booth

Ikr, he just walked sadly off the field.

yeah just wow

It was like when I kick my cat out of my room for rubbing my computer too hard to the point it's distracting.

I think it was just a routine retaliation thing. Like he knew it was all business and he took one for the team. He knew ejection was coming.

@@capeck1993 He never moves. Where do you see him walking?

these guys are meant to be pros. if they hit the hitter with anything more than an accident, hand injury or the like, they might as well be thrown out until they can pitch the way they should be.

@@TheUltimateRare sounds like "Little League" rules Mommy he doesn't play fair LMAO

Making one mistake while pitching doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be in the MLB

I know right. If their first reaction is to talk shit instead of apologising, they absolutely meant it

Have you ever been hit by a pitch before?

I have. But that changes nothing concerning the managers being pretend mad when their pitcher is ejected. Again, it's all a show.

@@flashhog01 shit thought you said the players. Sorry

flashhog01 yeah, but it also gets their team fired up. I’ve literally heard of HIGH SCHOOL and COLLEGE level managers screaming “THAT CALL WAS GOOD BUT MY TEAM NEEDS MOTIVATION UMP SO IT WAS A TERRIBLE CAPL!”

You have to do it. Your guys need to know that no matter the situation, you have their backs.

I agree, I've never understood the logic behind "oh you're on fire so we're gonna throw heaters at your face."

I agree, but some of these are not intentional, especially curve balls that slip out of the hand. Those guys shouldn't be thrown out, unless it is repeated.

I understand that. We all mess up at times, but don't you think some kind of apology is in order. Outside the game, on the streets, we let them know it is not intentional.

Sam Morris it’s pretty easy to tell when it isn’t intentional. It’s business, no need to apologize. The apology is the batter getting to take first.

Y'all should watch hockey

Yeah, because a rock thrown at you at only 80MPH can't hurt you, right? Walk on!

It used to be that when a batter was hit by pitch at the Duckpond (the ballpark for the Collegiate Summer League Madison Mallards), the audio people would play the Bop-It "OOOOOWWWWW!"

The last one on McCutchen put him on the DL.

ebgrimley I’m sure being hit by a 90-100mph fastball stings a lot more than we think. I’ve been hit by +80mph fastballs in high school and I could feel those for the next week!

@@DrGrahamCracka imagine how awful it is to be struck in the head

Unless it's a slipped ball or breaking ball. Tough sell there. Yeah, there's rosin, but mistakes happen

@@dingdong7610 I'm an old fart. I remember when there were no helmets. There were never any head shots like now. Pitchers controlled the ball

He didn’t leave Pittsburgh. He got traded to San Francisco. 😂

@@shiskey54 he had a no trade clause...

@@MortifiedPenguinGaming okay and? Traded on January 15th, 2018 to San Francisco for a kyle crick, Bryan Reynolds, and cash.

@@shiskey54 a no trade clause means it's up to him if he leaves....

@@MortifiedPenguinGaming you shouldn’t be commenting on subjects you clearly have no idea what happened. 😂🤣 he didn’t want to leave Pittsburgh. He said it himself.

Not all of them are intentional.

An intentional one should result in an attempted murder charge.

Dominic Anthony, true, but of the pitcher’s control is that bad, they need to leave the game.

bob dambra that’s a lot of games for just hitting a batter that’s excessive and players union wouldn’t allow it

Screw the coaches at least you have integrity (spelling?). I hate seeing pitchers do this intentionally. I understand accidents can happen.

They don't understand how painful it is

Yeah it’s because they’re mad because they’re losing

@@random_person2607 lol obviously
