1. Cooper Nielson Posted: September 28, 2021 at 01:30 AM (#6042072)F- you, old man. 0-2 count in a one-run game, for a team that's still trying to win every game it plays. Clearly there was no intent there.
Looking forward to 2022 now.
BUT...it IS the same guy getting hit all the time. The Sox have been hit 76 times. Abreu has taken more than a quarter of them. And he isn't a jerk, and he doesn't crowd the plate, so it's gotten extremely worrisome.
Sox Machine broke the Abreu angle down quite well: <a>https://soxmachine.com/2021/09/27/jose-abreu-isnt-asking-for-this/</a>
Their point about Tim Timmons is also a good one. The Sox are playoff bound, the Tigers are not, and there is a good chance this weekend's series means absolutely nothing. A 'wayward' DET pitch could ruin the Sox postseason hopes. But you don't want to bench guys to keep them protected, so hopefully TLR was just getting out in front of that a bit.
Jose Abreu has had double-digit HBPs every year of his career except 2020. When that happens that consistently, it's not because of the pitchers.
I don't agree. Abreu got hit on an inside pitch, and while it could have been intentional, it likely wasn't. He gets hit a lot because it's not important for him to get out of the way.
His slide was unquestionably intentional and flat out bullshit.
Agreed all around. But nothing of any significance came of this, the "fight" was a lot of people whipping out their dicks and measuring 'em and the comments from everyone involved were entirely self-serving (as they always are). People love to get worked up when LaRussa says something but he's doing his job here, nothing more nothing less.
I also agree that if Abreu wants to not get hit he should not get hit. David Ortiz crowded the plate like no one's business and got hit 38 times in his career. Abreu has clearly decided he's willing to take one for the team which is fine but don't get pissy about it.
Sure, the "fight" itself was nothing.
The White Sox are a great team but he makes rooting for them nearly impossible.
