Lawrie out there damn near tearing players' knees apart sliding into 2nd. He should have gotten beaned every time up after that. Not in the head tho

Cmon man it was a hard old school slide that he apologized for. You bean him once, send the message and you move on and try to win the game. KC got bush-league, there's no way around it. You don't throw behind someone and threaten to come at their head when you have a 100 mph fastball. That isn't baseball, that's buffoonery.

I disagree to an extent. Yes, it should have been over after Yordano plunked him. Then Kazmir drills Cain in the knee area on Sunday? Gives every right to throw back at an A's player again. And of course, I would pick Lawrie.

Lawrie's slide was exceptionally dirty. F*** him.

you can throw behind him if you want, but don't point at your head and say next time i'm drilling you in it. that ain't cool.

hardy har har.

I'm not taking the bait.

:lol

I have no problem with a good hard slide into a base, but that slide was OD. The slide becomes dirty when you rocket past the base with no intent of even touching the bag.

Fine or suspend him, and you should be fined or suspended longer for retaliating. No one deserves to get injured or have their life threatened with a bean ball to the head cause one person was an idiot.

This is baseball, not gang wars. Hold yourself out to a higher standard.

i used to be able to use a vpn to get around that stuff but this year it hasn't worked for me at all

i can listen to the local games radio broadcast tho.

why is this game on at 11:30 am :lol

not complaining tho

tvobach · Apr 20, 2015

About to turn off KC Sports Radio this morning.

So. Many. Callers. Complaining.

GET OVER IT.

Herrera and Yordy went way too far, just accept what happened, Lawrie apologized, and play baseball, get rid of the other crap (or do it in the 1st inning and not late in the game)

Thanks for that, I thought about that but I figured it'd be okay since it's incredibly easy to find via Google.

Mets

So proud of my team. I know it's too early, but they have been fantastic!

d'Arnaud is one of our important key players this season. I wish him a speedy recovery. I am kinda looking forward to seeing Kevin Plawecki play.

Vic Black will have another MRI today. Just unbelievable. He just came back from DL last week.

O's giving us free runs :hat

Seriously though. What a ridiculous inning.

And I was all excited to watch the game early this morning...

D'Arnaud.

anyone familiar with this Julio Urias kid the Dodgers have? supposed to be one of the best pitching prospects in the game. 18 years old has tremendous stuff apparently.
