Lookey here, and ejection clip
 
Baseball Video Highlights & Clips | BOS@NYY: Ramirez is ejected for hitting A-Rod - Video | MLB.com: Multimedia

One out
Runner on first
Bottom 7th inning
Yanks winning 2-0

The Sox pitcher is throwing at A-Rod? That makes no sense. Someone splain that to me.

The PU seemed to be certain of it but, it is pretty stupid strategy...ya know from the trying to win the game standpoint.

Stupid.

Why is the PU walking toward the mound?

Why is the catcher trying to hold on to the PU?

You gotta know the situation before you pull the trigger like that. Gotta.

From my understanding from a friend...

Threw one high and tight to the batter before for ball 4.

PU came around to clean up the plate and had a few words for F2.

Next pitch found the batter.

Seems like pretty clear intent to me... something was up. 3-0 game in the 7th with Yanks pitcher cruising and Rivera waiting if it was close. A-Rod hit game winner the night before. Yeah, something was up.

Good EJ, again. Just a bunch of McCarver's that want to question it.

And fortunately, Joyce did.

What are you all arguing about? It's NY vs Boston! It's normal for them to throw at each other and it is normal to get at least one ejection per series.

Okay....because he is Alex Rodriguez, and nobody likes him.

I'm sure Jim Joyce just has no clue at all of what is going on...

I think he probably does.

I am just saying that throwing at a guy in the bottom of the 7th with one out and a runner on first when you are trailing 2-0 is a curious decision by the pitcher and/or Francona.

briancurtin Sun Aug 09, 2009 08:48pm

Yes.

Staying up to date with your US magazine subscription I see. :p

I'm just sayin' there's no reason for the PU to walk toward the mound, and have the catcher, THE CATCHER, stop him. It makes no sense. Just like it made no sense that he was intentionally throwing at him at that particular point in the game.
