assault. That is worse than throwing a rock and hitting someone. But if the pitcher didn't have the wrong intent it's okay?

False, he is the nicest reindeer we know. He would not start a rumble.

Terrible logic. So it’s assault if the guy being attacked isn’t wearing a helmet

chitownboy

11/15/19 5:57am

Umm, yes?

Again terrible take. You can do some bad damage with a helmet no matter what

chitownboy

11/15/19 6:36am

Punching someone with and without a helmet on is a big difference.

Never said there wasn’t a difference with or without a helmet

I don’t think anyone is justifying violent behavior

All I'm saying is that assault is not judged merely on "if" the punch lands.....

I'd say if it can be proven the pitcher intentionally hits the batter then he...

While I mostly agree with you why is there no outrage then when pitchers hit

chitownboy

Yes, I totally agree that "many" times a pitcher intentionally beans a batter...

BleedCougarBlue2

11/15/19 12:13pm

Okay I agree but why the amount of outrage now

chitownboy

11/15/19 1:12pm

Why the outrage now? I guess because it was so flagrant and so visible.

One can kill you and the other can give you a concussion. Important difference.

Yeah looked like Rudolph almost died from that hit. Cmon

*can* kill you. You're being deliberately dense. There's a reason everyone disag

Huh. Everyone disagrees with me. Look through the threads.

Concussions can kill you

Gee, I guess the blood all over Nacua's face meant nothing?

This is what started the brawl. They hanged up and pummeled him

Four guys holding a dude and one swinging away with a weapon. Yea there should

travelcoug

Good. It was their fault.

I don't think this is accurate. Paxton Lynch had a great apology though...
