No. 14, Encarnacion/Sojo - The Baseball Thread continues

Except the Twins can't really afford to get anyone suspended.

And I remember Greinke hitting Torii Hunter in the face the first at-bat after Hunter homered off him last season.

You want to move a guy off the plate, fine. Come in hard at the letters. You want to protect your hitters after someone got plunked, fine. Hit someone in the ass.

You want to headhunt after you give up a dinger? You're a clown.

That's two strikes on Greinke, as far as I'm concerned.

 

No place for it.

 

So, I understand why Oakland pulled Greg Smith after he walked seven in 4 2/3 innings. But, why in the hell is Huston Street in the game? It's the fifth inning.

 

Marlins turn ultra-rare 5-6-3 double play.

 

Carlos Quentin continues to hit the baseball like it killed his father.

 

Prepare to die.

 

Ellsbury did not get hit in the leg. His kids will feel that one.

 

Rocco Baldelli's back, replacing Carl Crawford who was put on the DL and sent home with what appeared to be a troublesome finger injury.

Baldelli hit an RBI single in his second at bat.

 

Is the Livan Hernandez experience already over in Colorado?

 

Rockies put up a 7-spot on Chris Young. It's 11-7 now in the 6th.

 

If he even has kids after that hit.

 

16-7 Padres over the Rockies now ... at least Colorado has last ups!
