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

[CaliAngel]

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

 

But he didn't hit him! I'm not saying it's okay, but automatic ejection? That wouldn't happen to the Yanks if they threw at Trout the same way.

 

For the record A-Rod's reaction was priceless. Puts his hand on his hip, leans on his bat, and looks at Brett and and the the Astros dugout dumbfounded.

 

That was classic.

The dude got rocked, beaned a batter and got ejected. He knew what he was doing, look at how he walked off the mound and didn't even argue with the ump. He didn't care that he got ejected, good move on the astros to punish him.

Cause you said?

No you said:

 

"Isnt one of the Yankee announcers a Jewish woman?"

 

Which means in "The calscuf World" - A Nasally - New Yorker accented woman = JEW!

 

Why don't you go to the Big A this week - and yell at her in the pressbox this: "Gai kukken afen yam" If she flips you the bird....BINGO! 

[AngelsSurfer]

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

This. And what, is the implication that if she does happen to be Jewish she wasn't nice to Oberholtzer because he has a German name? Stupidest thing ever. Especially since a fair number of Jews in NYC ARE of German heritage and are very proud of that.

This thread is AngelsWin in a nut shell. Arod gets hit by a pitch turns into a conversation about Jews and Germany.

[AngelsSurfer]

Well, if someone hadn't felt the need to make an unfounded, judgmental observation based on someone's perceived religion, it wouldn't have come up.

It's less about the guy who made the comment and more about understanding he was joking

Back on topic, A-Fraud in a nutshell:

2005 ALDS game 5, top of the 9th

Skanks get the two tying runs on with no outs.

A-Fraud grounds into a double play.

Outside of Daisy's meatball in ALCS game 2 in 2009, A-Fraud was mostly useless in the post-season.

Come at the king you best not miss

 

Oberholtzer looked like a petulant child

[m0nkey]

People saying he shouldn't have been thrown out because it was arod don't get it

[zenmaster]

Stupid move by a young, stupid kid.
