Seriously every time you turn around they have hit a batter or two in a game tonight they hit Beltre and he leaves the game. I understand its apart of the game but with this frequensey last few years?

The Red Sox do lead the league in HBP, but what point are you trying to make? Are you implying they intentionally threw at Beltre?Last edited by Evangelion; 07-25-2012, 04:12 AM. -

Haven't you talked to Bob Gibson and Tim McCarver? Hitting batters is fun and profitable.
I gotta think that the Mariners climbed the charts last night with Felix hitting three guys and breaking ARod's hand. Boston's total is high, but not extraordinary.
Not to say that Beltre deserved anything, but the guy does hang over the plate in a way that would not have been acceptable before the inside part of the plate was granted to all hitters. He's one guy I can easily see being hit with no real intention on the pitcher's part."If I drink whiskey, I'll never get worms!" - Hack WilsonComment

No not at all but it seems like the Sox throw at an awful lot of guys and i do get its apart of the game but it makes me wonder if its been on purpose a lot. Not with beltre at least i hope that would of been bs as that was to the head.Originally posted by Evangelion View PostAll it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. -Unknown

The only blatant one that's been doing it on purpose is Vicente Padilla, and he has just one. Clay Buchholz and Daniel Bard have 17 between them. Franklin Morales has five.Originally posted by RaysFan_98 View Post 46 wins to match last year's total Comment

Bard got sent down because he couldn't throw a strike, and there's been something weird with Buchholz all season...seems like he had several periods with no real command of his pitches.Originally posted by SamtheBravesFan View Post"If I drink whiskey, I'll never get worms!" - Hack WilsonComment

When will baseball do something about it? Probably never because it's not a big deal. Opposing teams get a free baserunner, which is the last thing you want in Fenway. Any HBP this season are a result of poor Red Sox pitching because almost everyone is having difficulty keeping the ball in the zone where hitters can't drive it.
As soon as you step in a major league batter's box, you nonverbally accept the risk of being hit by a pitch. Hitters learn to dodge them throughout their baseball lives, especially in high school and college facing unrefined talent."Allen Sutton Sothoron pitched his initials off today."--1920s articleComment

yes. there were certainly some intentionals in between but mostly the boston pitching staff just sucks and has no control at all. this of course increases the chance of a HP.Originally posted by Dude Paskert View PostI now have my own non commercial blog about training for batspeed and power using my training experience in baseball and track and field.Comment

The Redsox and Rays have had a long standing feud ever sine 2000, haven't they?It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.Comment

Gerald Williams and Pedro were good buds.Originally posted by Mr. Laser Beam View Post
I think that had its genesis the game after Williams leaned into a Wake knuckler for a HBP (Giambi style)...Pedro figured the guy liked HBPs and nailed him between the numbers on the first pitch the next day. Like I've mentioned elsewhere today, this is the kind of HBP that bothers me the least, but it was a pretty brutal hit and I'm sure it hurt like hell.
The game was on after that, and I even think Pedro ran away from Williams once when he charged the mound...not a proud moment, but Williams surely would have beat the tar out of skinny Pedro. The bad blood between the teams lasted even after Williams left the Rays. I'm pretty sure the HBP happened in 2000."If I drink whiskey, I'll never get worms!" - Hack WilsonComment

Do you have any actual evidence?Originally posted by RaysFan_98 View Post
The Red Sox BARELY lead the league. If Boston should be reprimanded, then the White Sox should too.
Are you seriously suggesting that the commissioner should look into a team which has %4.76 more hit batsman than the second place team?
If the bosox were leading the league with something like %50 more hit batsman than anyone else, that might be something to look at. As it is, there is really nothing here.Last edited by dl4060; 07-25-2012, 02:16 PM.Comment
