Showing up a pitcher happens all the time. And the pitcher can send a message in the next at-bat.

I also have to wonder, though, was the pitcher being an arse, too? We don't see anything of his reaction.

Just saying ...

he said something to him around 2nd base because Harper took a 25 mississippi to get to first base

Not sure about the NFL.... but the NBA will take you right out of high school.... Shawn Kemp, Kobe, LeBrainless James.... all 18 when they made it to the NBA..... thats why there are so many thugs in that league.... Wasnt there someone who pulled a gun on a teammate in the locker room over a card game?

They changed the rule, now you need 1 year of college under your belt

lebron is a thug? garnett...a thug? really? because they didnt go to college?

let's parse this excrement:

1. the players involved in that incident were veterans. it was over a high stakes card game
2. the NBA says you cant come into the league until one year after high school
3. the nfl wont let sophomores enter the draft
4. because the nfl doesnt allow freshman and sophomores to enter the draft, they NEVER have any kind of gun issues in the league /sarcasm
5. baseball drafts 16 year olds. does that mean there should be more violence in baseball?


your logic is completely faulty.

and not for nothing: if the players in question had been white, i highly doubt you use the word "thugs". im not saying you are racist, but let's face it..."thug" is the new code word that is used to describe young black men.
