Buck Showalter was being a huge bitch last night which isn't surprising because Buck Showalter is a huge bitch. Very likeable team with a very unlikable manager, biggest crybaby OAT. It's like the White Sox or the Astros in reverse.

I'd be mad as hell too that the opposing teams pitchers can't control their stuff and were hitting my multi-time all star players in the face. (any of my players really, but especially the all stars). I think mets players got hit above the shoulders maybe 3 times total last season. Watching the blood gushing from Pillar's nose still gives me chills.I don't know how to feel about it. On the one hand i understand that players are going to get hit by pitches, and i also understand sometimes those HBPs are going to be a little scary. And i get that part of the game is needing to keep hitters a little bit afraid. If hitters knew they were always safe then everyone would do like Anthony Rizzo and crowd the plate, and if you try to throw him inside he's already looking in and is ready to turn on it. On the other hand, the really scary thing about it is that its abundantly clear those plunks were accidents, but instead of a guy losing his breaking pitch, he's throwing his gas but doesn't have very good command of it. Seems shitty that a guy could have his career (or at the very least his season) ended because the pitcher isn't good enough to command his pitches.
Dodgers pulled Kershaw in the middle of a perfect game. Baseball has lost its soul.
There is a lack of stewardship of the game by a lot of baseball people. Here is another example

He hasn't thrown over 80 pitches in almost a year, and he had little to no spring training. If you're him, his manager, his teammates, his trainer, his agent, his family, are you worried about his arm or some nebulous idea of stewardship? It's hilarious that everyone, other than the people who should care the most, feel the most aggrieved.

Still sucks as a fan watching a game with a no-hitter and the pitcher gets pulled.

Still sucks as a fan watching a game with a no-hitter and the pitcher gets pulled.It wasn't even just a no-no it was a perfect game he had in tact. If it was a no hitter when he got pulled I don't think it would have been as big of a deal... There were like 4 of them last year. I think they said there have only been something like 24 or 27 perfect games in the history of mlb
