  Because MLB lets pitchers throw at betters heads. Should be automatic ejection. Pitchers who throw at batters are weak.

  Can't disagree more. 1) you have to establish the inside of the plate 2) you sometimes are protecting your own teammate.
  
  I don't like throwing up at the head. But imo anywhere else is fair game. Baseball polices itself for the most part. The players almost always take care of things.

  Maybe you should re-read my post... the first sentence on the 2nd paragraph.
• Sonofanump

  1) I state that I don't agree with throwing at batters heads.
  2) You state that you can't disagree more because they need to protect the plate.
  3) I question throwing at someones temple
  
  Not sure where this is going, I must be confused, you disagree that I don't think that throwing at a batters head is ok but state later that you also don't like throwing at the head.

  He said "I don't support throwing at people's heads" and you then asked him if he is supportive of throwing at someone's head.
  
  Do you not see that?

  His "can't disagree more" was in response to you saying that pitchers throwing at batters are weak. You left that part out of #1 in the above post. This is pretty simple, neither of you (or pretty much anyone with a brain) are ok with pitchers throwing at a batters head, lol.

  Wow....

  Gotcha. So not could not disagree more, but rather disagree with this portion of my statement, not my statement as a whole. Thanks.

  Youre the only one who couldn't figure it out lol.

  Apparently, my mistake in comprehension.

  Through 5 innings and Adrian Beltre already has hit for the cycle...his 3rd career
• Heretic

  

  Pirates were on national TV. I was happy. There was a two-hour rain delay in the bottom of the second. I was annoyed. The game came back. I was happy. Rain came again in the fifth and after another delay, it was postponed.
  
  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU....regardless of how good a team is, ESPN refuses to put them on air unless they're playing one of their prized baseball marketplaces, so can't be letting weather squander that opportunity.

  In what is a big shock, he apparently did. I think that fucking with Beltre is Elvis' main role on the Rangers.
• Ironman92

  

  Beltre tied MLB record joking 3 other guys to have hit for 3 cycles in their career......but 1 was in the 1880's, one in the 1920's and the other in the 1930's.
  
  I find this randomly impressive.
  
  When they interviewed him he said it's easy to get triples when you are fast like me lol

  I saw where he joined 3 other people but didn't know they were all before 1940. This is even more impressive to me. That comment about the triples is a good one but not a good as one of the guys he tied whose name is Long John Reilly.
• Ironman92

  

  Zach Greinke allowed 4 runs in his last 210 batters....today in his first 5 batters he allowed 5 runs
• Ironman92

  

  CC Sabathia after striking out Ortiz with bases loaded and hating the ump....just went nuts after striking him out. It was complete show up but it was scary lol and no one will be charging the mound on that SOB. Most of the anger I'm sure was at the HP ump but if that was a younger/smaller pitcher....Yankees are getting beaned.
• Mulva

  

  Kyle Schwarber is a beast. The Cubs are loaded for the future.
• Ironman92

  

  You can get him out 94 mph+ up and borderline strike outside and also soft stuff falling off the low end of the outside
  
  That team can hit a fastball. Schwarber is a beast and Rizzo is back to being a top 10 offensive guy. Jealous of all of their young players....and I know they'll get a stud pitcher next year.
  
  I do not like the Cubs and their fans irritate me but I'll admit the Cubs winning the World Series would be an awesome spectacle. Cleveland winning a SB or NBA Championship rival it.

  He pretty much carried Indiana Baseball to Omaha.

  ESPN has a great pitching match-up tonight with Kershaw vs. Cole. Which means at least one of them will give up 5+ runs.
