He's such a freaking hypocrite.

I have an unhealthy dislike for Rizzo.

Bryant having a really pedestrian year thus far.

Not MVP numbers, but 18th or 19th in WAR (with Carlos Correa) is a touch better than pedestrian.

 

Pedestrian would be a low 800's ops.

I don't think the play was dirty, but that should be an automatic out.

It was definitely both dirty and shoulda been an automatic out. Maddon defending it the way he did was possibly worse.

As a person or ball player? Dude's been through a lot beating cancer and I know he does a lot off the field.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Rizzo is one of the best people in the game right now.

lol. okay. It's a violation of the rule but it's not particularly dirty. He started sliding and bailed

I wonder if the Cubs will think it is worth it if the Padres decide to drill Rizzo later on.

It was a cheap shot because the catcher was not blocking the plate. rizzo had to go to the side of the plate to make contact. If he goes straight to the plate there is no contact.

Watch the replay. The catcher isn't in front of the plate.

MLB says Rizzo did violate the home plate collision rule and Torre will take a look at it to see if discipline is warranted.

In what way was that not dirty? Halfway down the line he was running in foul territory and when he collided with Hedges he was on the other side of the foul line. He clearly went out of his way to bowl Hedges over even though there was a clear path to the plate. I also didn't like how he acted like he did nothing wrong afterwards. I definitely lost respect for the guy.

Maddon has acted like a total jerk about the issue. No shock the Score is afraid to call him out for it.

Obviously I don't know him as a person.

 

I mean as a player. He grates on me.

I'm so glad you found your way to our lovely forum.

Fully expect this to happen.

It will be interesting since MLB ruled he broke the rule but there will be no punishment.

And of course Rizzo leads off with another homer

Padres manager said it's not gonna happen. I like this response.

Your unhealthy dislike for a cancer survivor and strong advocate for pediatric oncology studies is your problem. My presence here has nothing to do with it.

 

The whole situation was well handled by everyone.

It has nothing to do with his surviving cancer. I find him annoying as a baseball player.

That is all.

 

Spare us all your lectures about how we should view the world and its people.

I'm done here. That's not what you said, and I will continue to point out your bs when warranted.

That was what I said.

 

I meant it as a baseball player, not as a human being.

 

I felt that was assumed, since the odds of me being close, personal friends with Rizzo is probably pretty slim.

No it wasn't. He clearly broke a rule with a cheap shot and everyone decided it was just fine. Why put a rule in place to protect the catcher and decide not to enforce it.
