Harper comes out throwing haymakers at strickland

I don't know why the Giants catcher didn't stop Harper advances to the pitcher

He knows Strickland is a dick and deserves to get rushed.

True. I am surprised it has not happened more often, when Strickland is on the mound.

I just think that it looks bad that Posey didn't try to protect his pitcher.

Andrew Baggarly @extrabaggs
Posey said his concussion didn't enter his mind as he decided to hang back. But acknowledged risk of getting involved with bodies flying.

Bryce Harper was hit by a 97.8 MPH fastball. That's the fastest pitch he's ever been hit by

I guess that gives other pitchers something to shoot for.

Then why was he so pissed? At least he didn't have to wait around all day for the pitch to get there. And I figure at that rate of speed the ball was on him and gone again, how much time could it have spent there on Harper's hip? It's like with the dentist and his needle, it's much better if it's in and out quickly, right?

Anyway, it was a nice little Memorial Day fight and it gave the guys on the MLB channel something to talk about.

I dont know what was more pathetic, the pitch or the helmet throw. lol

JUST a bit outside!

Grant Brisbee @mccoveychron
Hunter Pence will be fined for being on the field while on the DL, even though he was dragging his own player off.

Baseball players are just a hair behind soccer players in terms of being awful fighters.

When your sports most iconic "fight" is 4 seconds long and is just Nolan Ryan putting a guy in a headlock, you know youre not fighters.

I would throw basketball players in that mix also.

What fight in the NBA was memorable? Kobe/Child's, Kobe/Christie, Suns/Knicks brawl. Barkley/Shaq? Not great fights but entertaining.That is what think of baseball fights.

Malice in the palace was pretty great

Bull Burr had a hilarious bit about that

"well they came up there" lolol

 

[Ronin]

Harper suspended 4 games, Strickland 6 games.

 

[Ronin]

Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN
So the Giants lose Strickland for 1 to 3 innings, Nationals lose Harper for 36 innings/18-20 at-bats.
