nah... i jus replied to yr other comment below. but to answer this - i should have and didn’t make the point in my original post that what happened was disgusting and inexcusable. i just see so much wobbly use of language from right wing rags turning one story into another that it just bugs the hell out of me wherever…

no i was just making the point that you said that the word punch was an appropriate synonym for ‘throw’

but that’s still not a punch. baseball is not a game centred around punching the pitcher’s batt with the ball.

well i mean it’s clearly not a punch. wobbly language can be used to a big effect.
