I hope there's a fight in tonight's game for that slide.

I'm gonna be pretty upset if there isn't at least a bench clearing.

Could be saving it for the next series. Less chance of getting your started ejected if you do it next weekend in Boston with a different umpiring crew.

I want instant gratification.

mmmhmmmm

So, I'm not wild about Pedroia kind of throwing his pitching staff under the bus yesterday. I understand his point, but if you're Matt Barnes and you're going to get suspended for this, do you have Pedroia's back next time when he clearly doesn't have yours?

I feel the same way.

Like behind the scenes Pedroia can be bitching him out for going high on that pitch, but you've gotta back your team in public.

Yeah, exactly, anything like that needs to happen behind closed doors. It felt like Pedroia was more concerned with smoothing things over with Baltimore than he was backing a teammate that just put himself on the line for him.

agreed

Pedroia is a pussy.

I'm not willing to go that far. But he sure acted like one.

NSFW:

Still two more games against Baltimore this week. Jesus.

Are they ever going to get over being butt hurt or are they going to throw at Machado every game? Enough's enough.

Pedroia-->Machado-->Betts-->Machado. They're even now, if you're keeping score.

they're also racist though

They clapped, everything is good.

Actually, if I was keeping score, it would've been 0-0 before they threw at Machado's head considering it was a slide that by Pedroia's own admission wasn't intentional.
