I love how that idiot manager of yours is going to keep playing him, even at the expense of Jason Heyward!

With how hot he's been, mine as well keep riding him. We'll see what happens tomorrow though when Chippers Jones is back.

At the expense of a far superior player? I mean I am not really complaining, but it just seems incredibly silly for Heyward to lose his job to a guy with 27 career at bats and with clearly inferior talent. But whatever you wanna do, Fredi!

Eli Whiteside is a bitch. It was so obvious that was intentional.

 

Things are going very right when the Giants are so butthurt about losing that they resort to throwing at guys.

If it was the other way around you would say the same thing.

 

Nope. With Whiteside, maybe I'd defend it (maybe), but not the Posey part.

 

Not trying to throw all Giants fans into a group here, just the ones who literally wanted a rule change because of Posey's injury.

 

But you have to admit that was a bitch move by Whiteside...

"Omg guys, Buster Posey got run over, they better change the rules!"

 

"Oh hey, Eli Whiteside tackled somebody, what a badass!!!!"

 

-Internet Giants fans.

 

I realize this is a huge generalization. So I apologize for that.

I didn't watch the game, since it's not in my market, but this is what i got out of it.. Victorino got hit, first HBP of the game? He charges the mound because he just assumes they threw at him. Eli Whiteside was just defending his pitcher from a dugout full of 6-3 200 pound athletes charging at him.

 

Did I miss anything?

Just seemed like retaliation for the Utley ball flip from the NLCS. When a MLB pitcher with decent control hits a guy square in the back with a fastball, especially when you factor in the "history" and the fact that the score of the game was just blown open...seems a bit too convenient. But who knows.

Whiteside was defending his pitcher nothing bitch about it its not like he sucker punched someone. Not to mention the fact it was a halfass [expletive] tackle lol

 

With Posey I honestly never said the rule should be changed, it was an unfortunate thing what happened with him but its sports where shitty things/injuries happen.

Fredi has the perfect recipe for Heyward to break out of his slump. Give him 3 days off, come in and face a knuckle-baller, and then send him right back to the bench!
