Astros pitcher ejected after throwing at A-Rod, then sent down to AAA

[fan_since79]

Oberholtzer, the same guy who pitched pretty well against us on Monday. Yankees lit him up today and he didn't like it.

you know you're acting the fool when you make arod look boyishly innocent.

Yankees announcers were impossible to listen to during that entire thing. Said he wasn't a real man and he needed to deal with it like a man. I mean he threw at ARod who is a turd. Who cares?

[Guest]

That ejection was pretty weak. Oberholerz through a brush back pitch. Wasn't at the batters head and there wasn't a prior warning. Not too long ago pitchers did this sort of thing regularly, with intent, without the umpires batting any eye.

Since when is a pitch inside at the belt an automatic ejection?

 

Oh right, they're playing the Yanks and A-Roid's up to bat...

I actually watched that game, he had been missing pretty bad all game long --so much so that the Houston TV guys were wondering if something was wrong with him.  But he was up a lot and all over the place.  I think the ump was a little quick to act but he was definitely completely bent on the mound.

Isnt one of the Yankee announcers a Jewish woman?

 

Suzyn Waldman is the "jewish" woman you're referring to...although I don't get what being jewish has anything to do with anything. She did have a Roger Clemens orgasm once on this air...give a listen.

He wasn't pitching badly before yesterday's game. ERA of 2.81 coming in, and he threw eight shutout innings against Seattle two weeks ago. The demotion seems more like a punishment for his bad attitude. His manager was not pleased at all with him.

No, he was actually pitching really well.  But he was definitely off his game yesterday -- it was pretty obvious from the first inning on.  And yeah AJ Hinch was very critical of him.

Respect A Rod or GTFO

[fan_since79]

Sabathia was out of the dugout and ready to fight. That would have been quite a tangle. Oberholtzer is a big guy too.

 

LOL at the look of hurt on A-Rod's face.

Gibson and Drysdale never would have made the HOF under these conditions.

Neither those guys or guys longer Nolan Ryan would have made it past the second inning.

[Tyler]

It was a punk move by Oberholtzer and the Astros organization handled him perfectly.

Sometimes the I get the cart before the horse and I did in this case. I posted before watching the video and I've seen it now.

Yeah, it looked bush to me although he didn't hit ARod, didn't headhunt and didn't throw it behind him so we've all seen worse. The worst part was the catcher set up outside so you know he was doing this on his own for getting pounded.

it's wonderful seeing just about nobody outside of new york give a flying **** about his milestones this year

it'll be even more fun in the coming decades to see his sycophants get all whiny when he's looked upon even worse than bonds by posterity

Until he makes the all star team.

[Tyler]

glad to see there are some real baseball fans on here

 

I plan on coming out of the closet as a real baseball fan in a few months or so.

[Tyler]

He wasn't pitching inside, he threw at somebody.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

that has what to do with anything that i said?

who over the age of 12 thinks the all star game means anything?

Well since he won't be voted in by fans, that means his selection would be on merit. I laugh at all the hate you have for the Yankees and Arod. Edited June 28, 2015 by SOTO

The world outside of LA and Stl couldn't care less about Pujols. Your argument is silly. On top of it, he's getting paid. That's most likely all he cares about.

Who gives a ****?

A. It was Arod.

B. It wasn't at his head?

I can't stand how pathetic baseball and baseball fans have become about brawls and throwing at someone. Every sport is going this way and it's awful

Ike turner feels the same way about bitch slapping women.

A. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

B. It was intentional, with no prior instigation besides getting rocked.

C. What a keyboard warrior.

 

How would you guys appreciate it if Calhoun hits a bomb then Trout takes a 95 mph heater to the ribs?

[OregonLAA]

I wouldn't. I'm guessing you'd hope for no retaliation either. Get them back by winning!

And comparing arod and trout in that sense is idiotic

[JoJo26]

Oberholtzer is a German name.

And we know she's Jewish because......?
