MLB needs to discipline players before the next game when something like this happens, to prevent the “frontier justice” of the HBP that is inevitable when MLB sits on its hands and does nothing.

Comment: The way things have been done in the past is dumb.

Ever hear the phrase “two wrongs don’t make a right?” Plunking Rizzo doesn’t do shit besides start a stupid game of beanball.

I’d much rather MLB dole out punishments, once one player gets plunked then theres retaliation and it’s the O.K. Corral out there. This isn’t Batman, that kind of vigilante justic isn’t good.

I agree that he should be suspended or otherwise disciplined by MLB- but I hope he doesn’t get plunked the Padres.

Or they could act like men. The eye for an eye shit encourages dirty play. The player things fuck it I’ll do this shit and get beaned tomorrow. It’ll hurt but my wallet is alright.

I agree with you! Rizzo definitely isn’t in the right here, but also, we can all agree that this stupid self-policing of baseball players is ridiculous and dumb though, no?

Hell no. Retaliating by throwing a fastball at someone is stupid and dangerous.

No, it shouldn’t. Enough of this “vigilante justice” crap. If he broke the rules, he can be penalized in the game (called out, if he had actually been safe), the umpire can throw him out, and the league can penalize him. Heck, in theory, if the behavior is egregious enough, the catcher could even sue him, or he…

Your friend is sad and pathetic and needs to denigrate an all time great catcher to feel better about his sad adult league playing self. Fuck him.

He doesn’t deserve to catch a fastball to the ribs. He also made the wrong play here

So you agree that the “Christian community as a whole” is responsible for the beating deaths of many of their young women. Also for the rape of children.

I’m sorry. We do not need to respect the Muslim community as a whole because there are incidents of domestic violence therein among some members? Some members of a religion that actually comprises a quarter of the world’s population?

In America, it is estimated that there are 2.3 million rapes every year. 22% of women will be subjected to physical abuse in their lifetime. Over 50,000 child sexual abuse occurred this past year. America is 70% Christian. The Catholic Church routinely abuse children then cover it up. I don’t believe in persecuting or…

So someone dies in a foreign prison and suddenly conservatives are outraged, omg this could lead to war. But to have them die in an US prison under similar circumstances and suddenly conservatives don’t care and look for ways to justify the loss of life, especially if the person is not white.

I cannot agree that they get to blame President Obama for their son’s death just because they are grieving. I’m sorry for their loss but grief doesn’t give them a pass to lash out at Barack Obama for making incredibly complicated political decisions while supporting a man who is happy to return immigrants to countries…

I feel so bad for this kid and his parents. I really do. Having said that, why would anybody want to go to North Korea? Serious question.

Yeah we can’t possibly dare mention gun control after a shooting, but Trump and republicans can go ahead and make whatever political statements they want in regards to this kid’s death.

Ugh!! Maybe Obama has a little more insight into how to deal with hostile governments and realized that there are other Americans being held and popping off about one of them would possibly result in injury to all of them?? I hate the Trump family so much.

This poor kid and his poor family. But damn Trump for politicizing this and making it about what he did for Otto vs. what Obama didn’t do.
