I had a bet with someone on their being 2 or more ejections in that game, I was very disappointed how Bautista took his beaning. Guess the umps learned something from Baltimore/Boston

He was apologetic to the catcher. I think he knew he acted out of line, as petty as it was.
He knew he was going to get plunked, and Teheran kept it low. Settled it like men.
they handled it about as well as possible, followed the unwritten rules as best as possible, & cost me $50. I watched the game getting ready to see a fight, it was a let down

Marlins-Dodgers scuffle a result of baseball's unwritten rules - ESPN Video
What do you guys think of this? Wrong to swing on a 3-0 pitch in the 8th or not a big enough lead?

@Splinty ESPN videos don't embed properly, just FYI
Roger. Dudes need to secure their sites.
The pitcher put himself in that hole. He shouldn't be pointing fingers.

It's not a question of good or bad pitching, it's a question of whether or not the batter broke the unwritten rule of baseball that says you don't swing on a 3-0 pitch late in the game when you already have the game won
Hitting the ball is fair game at any time. The pitcher shouldn't have put himself in a 3-0 hole.

5 runs ain't shit in today's game. Swing away. Getting butthurt over that is weak sauce.
That's a dumb "unwritten rule" anyway.

It's a completely ridiculous rule.
As a pitcher though... I would have went high and inside as fuck on my next pitch.

I think the unwritten rules keep the game respectful. Don't swing on 3-0 when you're up big late in the game, don't stare at a home run, get retaliation (if you're a pitcher) for your guy if he was hbp intentionally, etc.
Yeah some of the unwritten rules are a little silly, but I think they make the game more interesting.
The best is you see the hitter rush the mound then you all go back to your eighth grade mentality and try to create a great big free for all brawl.......they should take the pitcher and the hitter and make a ring out of people and let them fight one on one.
Its immediately two on one most of the time cuz the catcher is gunna protect his pitcher. They should have a mini-thunder dome next to the bullpen for them.
You just gave me an idea that could get img their $4.2 back.
They could run with this and like bellator mixes sports, baseball and the UFC could co-promote by wheeling the cage into the outfield during the breaks between innings.
Then if pitcher and hitter want to fight, they wheel the cage back out.
Will definitely stop a lot of pitchers throwing at batters
I read or heard an interview a few years ago where Ryan estimated he'd signed at least 10k pics of him punching Ventura since then
I think it was the baseball tonight podcast where he said that. the podcast also played this a few weeks ago, never heard this before but it was funny

@Alco Hauler I watched that Rougned Odor-Jose Bautista fight and god damn is that funny. Bautista literally staggers backward a few paces before he's able to regain his balance.
He caught him clean. I think Bautista thought it was going to be a typical baseball shoving match.

Odor was having none of that shit.
The Todd Frasier trade starting to pay off this year for CIN. Check out Schebler and his 13 homers already.
