Soon there will be a weekend where players get to wear their nickname on their jersey along with a patch of their choosing honoring someone who inspired them

After the way that Rizzo plowed the Pad's catcher last night, I'd throw at his head until I hit him if I was the pitcher for SD tonight. Rizzo was way out of line last night and if the Commissioner won't punish him for it, it should be settled on the field.

You'd throw at his head for a collision at the plate? That play MAY have violated a rule, but he wasn't headhunting, didn't go spikes first, didn't go for a knee, etc. He collided with him. Shoulder to chest, basically.

yeah, it's never cool to throw at anyone's head.

Rizzo knew the rule on contact with the catcher and bowled him over anyway. Hedges knew the rule as well and didn't set himself up for a hit like that. Hedges was knocked half silly with the contact; whiplash matters.
As for Rizzo leading with his shoulder, so did Pete Rose when he nailed Ray Fosse in the AS game and basically ended his career. If a Rizzo wants to play hard old school ball, he should expect that type of retaliation. What do you think Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale and the like would have done to a guy who rolled McCarver or Roseboro under similar circumstances? If Rizzo doesn't want to get beaned, don't play stupid.

Throwing a ball at someone's head could potentially kill them, that is truly playing stupid. It's not even close to the same as running into someone with your shoulder. I mean it's beyond stupid, it's sociopathic.

yeah, throwing at someone is fine, but never the head. gibson, drysdale, etc. didn't even throw at someone's squash.

Joe Madden after the game: "Absolutely love it. That's part of the game. If the catcher's in the way, you hit him. Very simple." One problem Joe, the catcher wasn't in the way and there was a clear opening to the plate for the runner.
Hedges is now injured and out of the lineup. BS play

didn't look like a very violent collision at all. mlb ruled he violated the slide rule but they decided not to punish him. think they need to give him a game there.

Do you have Hedges in fantasy or something? Rizzo may have been able to avoid him, but he was inside the baseline and that's where hedges set up. It wasn't a huge hit, and it wasn't dirty.

Rizzo easily could have avoided Hedges. The catcher was not inside the baseline; he set up on the infield side of the plate for the tag. It was a huge hit since Hedges was taken out of the game and is out of tonight's game. Sorry but it was a dirty hit. Even the Chicago papers called it an said that he deserved a suspension.

Where's that Charlie Manuel quote when you need it?

Put some roooge on that catcher

just saw it, wasn't that extraordinary. he was going to the ground and didn't even lower his shoulder.

against the rules but i wouldn't call it a cheap shot, more like he just did an instinct play instead of trying to slide around him

pete rose is spinning in his grave!

Anything less than a lifelong ban for Rizzo is a travesty.

Throw at his testicles!!!
