Paper cups are large items and throwing them is violence? Hahahahahaha.
It's as justified as throwing things on the field could ever be. I guess saying "it's justified" is a little too strong of a wording, but it's understandable and somewhat acceptable. It's a release of frustration. In comparison to other times when things have been thrown on the field, it's a better reason than other times.
Braves fans have every right to be thoroughly ticked off right now. That was a horseshit call.

Well the umps screwed that up too since the game is now under protest.
Nothing on where the ball lands (as long as the IF could easily catch it). Nothing about which umpire can make the call.
Has Sam been kept away from any sharp objects or is there blood in the streets?
Yeah, but you never see an umpire declare a high fly ball to be subject to the infield fly rule, no matter how ordinary a ball it is.
Incidentally, I can remember the extra umpire blowing at least three calls in Yankee playoff games (one ended up getting fixed), but I can't ever recall them getting something right would otherwise have been wrong. I'm beginning to suspect they are more trouble than they're worth.
In fairness you can protest, it just can't be upheld.
Throwing paper cups is not dangerous, though it is pointless, but there were plenty of bottles mixed in with those cups. I don't think they could kill anyone but it could cause harm.
And anyway, being pissed off about a bad call (a really bad call, I admit) doesn't justify throwing anything onto the field.
This is my belief too. You ask guys to do something they don't do all year. That they miss calls from unfamiliar angles shouldn't be a surprise.
It's Atlanta, we always have blood in the streets.
Not that they're completely harmless, but they are plastic bottles.
I wouldn't go that far, but it is making me feel bad.
As long they hit Southerners, what do you care?
I understand that, but I would have confidence in my team with a three run lead that I think I still have the advantage.
Is that true? Or does the rule overturn the play and Simmoms gets credited with a single?
No reason they can't both be jokes.
Ball wasn't caught so it's a live play with the batter out.
On an infield fly, you advance at your own risk. When the ball landed the runners advanced at their own risk.
Well, they would lose their pretzels.
Key words highlighted.
On the infield fly they can advance at their own risk. So once the ball drops they can run at will (and its a tag play, not a force).
It's a game. You don't throw beer bottles at the umpire, ever.
Why does this seem to be the minority opinion here?
Even with me being a really, really angry Brave fan right now, I also believe there is never any call to throw anything on the field.
What if it's a liquor bottle? And you're pretty sure Drew Pearson pushed off?
It's our patriotic duty to question and challenge authority.
FTFY
Far more frightening is the Southern Comfort ad featuring that fat, hairy dude in a bikini. I can't believe he's going to be on our TV screens for the next three weeks.
It's already started:
MLB Network Radio ?@MLBNetworkRadio
Former MLB Umpire supervisor Jim McKean tells us that the infield fly rule was "the right call" tune in after the game to hear from him
I've heard the same radio ad with a woman telling her boyfriend that she's looking up "the closer's ERA against right-handed hitters" on her Verizon phone at least four times already, and it's driving me slowly insane.
Nice pitching
Holbrook should be gone.
Good.
Chipper cannot make the last out of the season. I will not permit it.
Well not if its hit to his left.
Who peels off after calling for it the whole time, waving your arms, when the ball is 20 feet from hitting the ground? There's no way Holliday was saying "I got it"....
Also a baseball tradition. Good to see Americans getting passionate again.
Considering Holliday's post-season history (2009 NLDS and Game 6), Holliday was probably yelling "You got it! You got it! You got it!" Kozma may have misunderstood that.
Hopefully Yadier will be able to get there in time before the Tomahawk horde gets him.
