Braiden Ward des Red Sox de Worcester en Triple-A est touché au casque avec un lancer et lance sa batte sur le lanceur Tate Kuehner alors que les bancs se dégagent légèrement. Ward a été expulsé, même si c’est la huitième fois cette saison que Ward est touché par un lancer en 15 matchs.

Does someone eat it at the end?
Eta: yeah that dude falls straight back on his ass. We need a new camera angle. Please and ty.
This is one of those situations where the batter shouldn’t have done that, but I get it.
I also respect how the pitcher responded. I’m sure he didn’t mean to hit the guy, but so many pitchers treat “I didn’t mean to hit you” as a get out of jail free card and would be offended that the hitter was pissed at all. Seems like this guy took everything in stride
8 HBP in 15 games? I get that reaction
Kinda make me wonder, if you’re a baseball player, what HBP/9 rate makes you start to think it’s intentional
That’s Spring Training stolen base legend Braiden Ward getting drilled in the head.
Imagine ejecting the person who got mad at being intentionally hit in the head
That is a crazy amount of HBP for a guy who doesn’t look like he’s crowding the plate at all.
I think if you get beaned in the noggin you should be allowed to lightly toss the bat at the pitcher with no intention of hitting him. That’s fine
Pitchers get to throw inside to scare batters off the plate, and there is no longer any recourse to their actions. Chucking a bat at the pitcher is a bad idea, and I never liked retaliatory beanings.
Maybe after 1 HBP, any HBP by any pitcher on that team is now a 2 base infraction. If the pitcher can’t throw inside safely, then you lose the right to pitch there. Lots of pitchers throw over 100mph which is really dangerous, so maybe the consequence needs to be upped.
Legitimately valid crash out
I’d be pissed too. You’re that erratic? How about get a different job?
Batter is like, if you can’t locate a fastball better than that, you shouldn’t be on the mound. You missed by over a foot.
Valid response honestly
