September 12, 201411 yr #Giancarlo in good spirits, saying he was uplifted by his mates. Dental work on 3 teeth in Miami. Fractures will heal, no surgery expected - Minervini I wouldn't be too surprised if he played tonight wearing a big scary mask. The spirit in this team is ace. I only wish Jones, McGehee, Hech & WTFPSB* were better players. *whoever the fuck plays second base
September 12, 201411 yr I gotta say the tweeting of all the baseball players about it is kinda cool. on the flip side, I think Fiers tweeting stanton directly was more to make him look better. If he really gives a shit, he needs to go so wassap to him in person (Not saying he hasn't or won't, just saying him tweeting directly seems a little transparent in what he's trying to do). If there's really no surgery, that's awesome news!
September 12, 201411 yr I bet Fiers will give Stanton a call, he seems genuine in his remorse. He nearly cried during the post-game interview. I can't imagine being the pitcher in that situation, must be horrifying.
September 12, 201411 yr I still say fuck fiers. "He hit a guy in the mouth, No. 1" Redmond said. "No. 2, after he hit Reed in the hand, he looks in our dugout, throws his hands up in the air like, 'Hey, why you guys mad?' You just knocked out our best player, hit him in the mouth and then you just hit another guy in the hand. What are we supposed to do? What type of reaction are you thinking that we're going to give you?"
September 12, 201411 yr yeah I didn't (and still don't) understand his reaction on the field. He said he was upset because he couldn't understand why Marlins players thought he was intentionally hitting people. I doubt anyone claimed that. The simple fact that you just beaned a guy in the face and then plunked a batter again on the very next pitch is enough to get the other team on their feet and glaring at you. Like Johnson said, after that the guys probably yelled a few things. (like i dunno "WTF man" or "get your shit together" or something). As the Brewers manager said, he'd be upset too if he were a teammate. So he could've had a little humility and understood that while the other team probably knows you aren't headhunting, they just saw their superstar go down in a pool of blood so they are on edge to put it lightly. But after hitting THE VERY NEXT BATTER, instead of clamming up he started waving and gesturing to the Marlins dugout like he was daring them or "get outta here" or whatever the hell he was doing responding to them. I get that it was all emotional, I just don't get that response. But then I'm not a professional athlete and these guys tend to have the ego thing. Humility and decency is just later for the clubhouse after you realize what happened apparently. I mean when you need Carlos Gomez to show you the way you handle that situation (and hey props to him), you're probably doing it wrong.
September 12, 201411 yr I still can't believe Gomez handled it that well. That guy explodes at everything.
September 12, 201411 yr I still can't believe Gomez handled it that well. That guy explodes at everything. Pretty sure that's why disco went after him over say braun or aramis.
September 12, 201411 yr Surprised no one has sent out a tweet wishing condolences to the chairs and other furniture that McGehee got a hold of when he was ejected.
September 12, 201411 yr Pretty sure that's why disco went after him over say braun or aramis. Fair point. That could've been fun...
September 12, 201411 yr Any word on how the Marlins will try to replace Stanton ? I know he can't be replaced, but do they move Jones to the OF where he's played in years past and maybe start Bour at first, recall Jensen etc....?

September 12, 201411 yr Frisaro suggests Kiki in center and Ozuna to right. I'd see Reed Johnson to right as more of a Redmond move at least for the few days.

September 12, 201411 yr http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-marlins/sfl-marlins-stanton-hit-in-face-by-pitch-20140911,0,7816772.story a pretty good summarization... can't be angry with Fiers...
September 12, 201411 yr Not gonna lie, Stanton's Dad must have seen some serious shit in war- he looked calm and collected. Like he was planning his attack on Fiers while no one looked. He looked as if he was watching a really shitty movie. Not Sharknado Shitty. That's entertaining. Stanton's Dad was watching Gigli. His Aunt on the other hand looked like someone showed her what "two girls, one cup" was all about.

I want to fight people on the internet, and have made Winn Dixie my own personal fight club..... Your really going to tell me I can't be angry at Fiers?

September 13, 201411 yr I want to fight people on the internet, and have made Winn Dixie my own personal fight club..... Your really going to tell me I can't be angry at Fiers? It was unintentional.. Now his reaction to our dugout, I still don't understand, but things were heated on both sides. Either way, it's all a part of the game.
September 13, 201411 yr Had to catch up on all this shit that went down last night... Just about threw up. The umps turned it from a tragedy into a complete farce. Really relieved to hear that he should heal by next season. But fuck those umpires.

It got to be ridiculously biased out there.
