Honestly, most of those were less than 1 Bucknor™ from the plate. Contreras stands pretty close. The one last night was the barest graze job.

Really highlights that he mostly just crowds the plate. Which is fine, but then it’s a bit goofy to be so shocked if you get hit more than normal.

Lol, this kinda destroys the narrative that’s been set.

None of these are bad hit by pitches happen lmao, these are all just high fastballs that got a little away from Woodruff

Wow…only the second one I could make a case for being mad. The others ones hit his elbow because he crowds. Then the 4th one he swung into it or else it would have grazed his elbow protector again.

Is his brother catching for any of these?

Woke up and chose violence today so I’m gonna point out that this is also just like 99% of the times Mike Trout gets hit on the hand/wrist and people lose their minds. If you don’t like the chin music get off the plate!

why are people surprised — you crowd the plate. You play stupid games you will win stupid prizes
axiom_glitch
So he pretty much just crowds, and then takes the bean. Makes little to know attempt to dodge the ball

Someone hits you 6 times.. you charge the mound at some point. Carlos Quentin vs. Zach Greinke vibes

Maybe don’t hang your hands over the plate and you won’t get hit so much. Goofy stuff.

Stop leaning into the pitches you can easily avoid.
