You did what you had to do. If a three year-old is allowed to get away with violating the (unwritten) rules of the game, what’s next? We let two year-olds get away with it, too?

This is so stolen from Lebatard’s show.

Samer Le Batard?

This is the only correct answer...

You’re so sensitive! Just stand there and let me throw baseballs at your head as hard as I can, for weeks

I was pitching to my 3.5-year-old last night and he nailed one over the fence into the neighbor’s yard. He was so excited, jumping up and down and running around. Hurt like hell to hit him in the head with the next pitch.

It didn’t put him on the DL. He took one game off. Settle down. Pedroia publicly said there was no intent.

Yeah so many people have the potential to be seriously injured by Machado’s loving gaze at his majestic dong.

Tell that to David fucking Ortiz.

uh no that is not ‘continuing it’
that is ‘playing baseball’
it is a thing the red sox could maybe try instead of nursing a grudge over literally nothing?

He’s an American you racist prick.

Funny, I thought the whiny, gutless pussies were the ones who throw a baseball at someone’s head because of a hard slide or even worse, “showing up the pitcher” by trotting slowly around the bases after hitting a ball to Rhode Island.

Love the triggered Boston fans in this thread. Hey snowflake, do more!

You can’t slide feet first in baseball anymore?

You’re actually an idiot.

Hey, let’s ruin that kinda cool moment with the standing ovation for Adam Jones by throwing at and promptly being curbstomped by Machado again!

Yes.

I caught him on a ESPN radio show answering callers questions and he somehow got into talking about his mother’s alzheimers and it was profound and touching. I’ve always liked him but now I envy him for his availability and candor. He’s real.

Tim Kurkijan is a treasure. I love that he couldn’t help but enjoy himself after Machado drilled that. There are so few in sports media that seem to genuinely enjoy themselves the way Tim does.
