Actually what's dumb is talking about it. Just shut the **** up and plunk their star in the next inning.

What problem?

That's what I meant by dumb. Pitching inside is part of the game. Pretty soon baseball will be infused with MMA the way they talk.

agree, as long as the pitch in question wasn't up around the head.

why can't he pitch inside? some ball players have such a delusional royalty about them, it's part of the game Billy Boy, maybe if you understood this you wouldn't be a journeyman and maybe would have lived up to your potential

****

Hopefully Hamels actually hits him with a fastball in the face next time. "I am not going to let him disrespect me by pitching me in"? Shut up.

The dreaded "disrespect". Bob Gibson, tells us how you feel about a batter and disrespect.

I think the whole idea of throwing at someone at all is stupid. I mean, what give a man the right to act out his frustrations on another man because someone got the better of him at a moment in time. I remember as youngster seeing a batter throw his bat at a pitcher after being hit by a pitch... A pitcher can choose to throw at a guy if he wants, but a batter can't charge the mound? WTF!?! Getting hit by a pitch is not funny. Nor should it fall within the letter of gamesmanship in my opinion. Granted, accidents happen and when they do, pitchers just walk it off like nothing happened. Why is that ok?

Having written all that I did, I can imagine the frustration that come with some batters showing up a pitcher after going yard, but I think grandstanding is problem in a lot of American sports. I can't tell you how irritated I get to see players jumping up and chest bumping and all the other assorted nonsense they do for having done their job... having done what they're paid to do.

What about when NFL players miss tackles because it's just cooler to run into people rather than wrap them up like you're supposed to? ...and basketball players slapping palms with the team after missed free throws? WTF is that all about? *Laughs* Having said this, watching Sammy Sosa do his little stutter step before touching them all might incline me to throw at him too, but still... I think it's stupid to arbitrarily decide to throw at someone, regardless of whether it's a tactic or out of frustration.

Why the fuss? Next inning your pitcher drills a front line Phillie with a heater. A teams own hitters will let their pitchers know.

Players need to understand that pitching inside is part of the game and has been going on long before anyone of them even started playing. Imagine if Bob Gibson or Drysdale were pitching today?

If they were pitching today. A) They would be charged at least 10 times a year B) Would be kicked out of games multiple times and C) Would be suspended a couple of times.

:)

In other words, they wouldn't pitch the same way as they did then. Or they would cost their team.

Dude...there's no crying in baseball. Suck it up.

Tim Lincecum plunked Jeter in the allstar game to let him know he owns the inside.

Bill Hall got a hit?

I do believe the article said he pitched him inside. Nothing about hitting him.

What's the batter's equivalent of pitching inside? Charging halfway to the mound?
