Paulie got hit in the face with a pitch.
AJ slid hard into a base. If a player is in the way, s*** happens.
It's part of the game.
As always greg, you ignore the facts. Konerko got hit with a mistake, a splitter that Samardzija let go early.
Sliding hard into a base is not what AJ did. I think you haven't seen a replay of it, because if you did you wouldn't be saying what you are saying. Zobrist was standing behind the base, AJ slid in PAST THE BASE cleats up, and intentionally cleated Zobrist in the ankle/leg. That is not part of the game, that is bushleague bulls*** that breaks ankles and legs. AJ is our guy and all, but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, and that was most definitely a spade.
If that happened to one of the Sox players, you would be calling for MLB and God Ozzie to come down and smite the offender off the face of the planet.
