June 21, 20188 yr Straily suspended for 5 games and Mattingly for 1 game. This is unbelievable. Where's the suspensions and fines for Bruce Bochy and Derek Rodriguez for intentionally hitting Brinson in the ribs? The umps screwed up this situation with the way they handled the warnings. The Giants should never have intentionally hit Brinson because he did nothing wrong. And once they did the Marlins should have been allowed one chance to do the same. Umpires should have issued warnings after Posey was hit, not before it. One hit for them one hit for them and move on. Anything after that is wrong. Doing it this way allowed the Giants one free shot at Brinson without allowing the Marlins the same. And if they wanted to prevent all of this they easily could have issued warnings before the game. I can't believe how poorly this situation has been handled and now the suspensions make the Marlins look like the bad guys when if you see the situation as a whole you clearly see the Marlins were just sticking up for themselves which they should be allowed to do.
June 22, 20188 yr Posey has fucked up all kinds of things over the years. Ruined the plays at home because he didn’t set up properly and caused an entirely stupid rule to be implemented. Mlb is dumb as hell with the warning system anyway.
June 22, 20188 yr What you guys aren't getting is that MLB suspending Mattingly for a game is actually a favor.
June 22, 20188 yr i'm sure Scott Cousins is available for hire to "meet" up with Posey but yeah, this is all about which team is more popular, it would have been the same shit if the other team had been the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, etc. instead of the Giants.
June 22, 20188 yr Author Just saw the clip of Stanton's walk off home run the other day and he did the same celebration as Brinson did, if not more animated... what's the difference???? How is Stanton not getting beaned? Why don't they say he's disrespecting the game? The lines are so blurry when it's all about the same thing and that's just a showing of emotion.
June 22, 20188 yr Hi, just here to stir shit up and surely upset some of you... But have we stopped to notice that those who "disrespect the game" the most have something in common? Yasiel Puig, Lewis Brinson, Javy Baez...and it's guys like Brian McCann, Mark Melancon, Hunter Strickland who get butthurt about it?

You can turn on any news channel is you want to see that kind of shit. I'm sure you were being sarcastic. ?

While its wrong to assume and generalize yes there are differences in cultures that can lead to different behaviors in the same sport.
June 23, 20188 yr Posey has been a bitch for his entire career and the Giants were salty that they were shown up by a bad team.
June 23, 20188 yr Author Frisaro is with me, the issue is that because of the way the warnings were issued, the Giants got a free shot in... Check out @JoeFrisaro’s Tweet:
