Brett Lawrie - Failing to Retouch?

[johnnyg08]

I guess my point was that he'd maybe be a little calmer considering the last time...especially b/c he really looks like even more of an idiot b/c he was 100% wrong for throwing the fit (arguing something that he clearly lost because he was wrong)....he reminds me of that idiot from U of South Carolina who faked getting beaned and took it so far that he got ejected only to have the video remain on You Tube for eternity.

so, you do not think it is possible this guy thought he was right?

He might have thought he was right, but he can rest assured, he was wrong.

[jwwashburn]

Understood...he was wrong.

I just think his reaction here was one that was not out of bounds

Compare his reaction to what we see and hear in MLB everyday. His behavior is the exception. Sure some guys will lose their tempers, but this 22 yr. old hot head seems to think he's a pretty big deal.

We must live in very,very different worlds. I'm happy that in my world that behavior is more rare than rare.

Arkansas, not South Carolina. It was Brian Walker.

He made it as high as AA a few years ago. I was at a game and looked up and he was standing in the on-deck circle.

Thanks for the correction. I'll leave his name up there.

He is now coaching.

Since when is it a player's role to jaw at the umpire?

Have you ever watched a Major League game?

What this player did on this play is acceptable in a Major League game.

What this player did when he spiked his helmet last week or whenever that was is completely unacceptable-that is why he was ejected and suspended.
