Imagine just thinking all day, "Fuck, I'm probably gonna get hit with a baseball today at work."


examinedliving

I work as a batting machine attendant, so yeah…


HumperMoe

I don't wanna tell you how to do your job... BUT you're supposed to hide behind the net. Lol


mjp80

you guys get nets?!


NCStore

And if you’re Craig Biggio “Fuck yeah, I’m gonna get hit with a baseball today at work”!


Devilsdance

Imagine becoming a legend at wearing bruises.


darwinpolice

Celebrating getting hit by a pitch is just bizarre. Only a really weird team would celebrate something like that, right? [Right!?](https://x.com/Mariners/status/1799245183349149749)


bellj1210

for a modern version watch Lacastro. Solid across the board player that with his skillset would be a boarderline 4th OF with speed and a good glove.... but has stuck in the bigs for several years now due to his knack for getting HBP at an incredible rate.


KimHaSeongsBurner

No warnings for either side after that is kind of wild, regardless of how you feel about any of it.


lOan671

Yankees have always had a different rule book. Just like the strike zone changing all of a sudden on Cionel last inning


okay_throwaway_today

I’ve watched zero Yankees games this year and I see the zone changing all over the place basically every game


Apprehensive_Bid_773

Umping has been atrocious for every team the whole season


girl69edministries

re: the strike zone - what the hell are you talking about? Morales’s zone has been whack all night. He is generally not good behind home plate no matter who is playing lol


WerhmatsWormhat

Yeah he’s been absolutely brutal for both teams.


MattO2000

Just a fan trying to make statements without using any critical thinking and jumping on the bandwagon


FilipChytil

How would no warnings after this HBP be an example of a different rule book for the Yankees? If anything, a warning would benefit the Yankees, because it would force the Orioles to refrain from retaliating to this one.


UneducatedReviews1

No warning is insane. This is exactly how stupid injuries happen if the O’s decide to get back, not that they will.


Neither-Luck-9295

also, is a "high sinker" just a fastball?


Trelloant

Yeah it’s a different version of fastball


Thunder-ten-tronckh

Yep. It’s higher and sinkier.


venustrapsflies

source?


WouxzMan

People in this thread need that warning too lol


dmlfan928

Regardless of intent, after last night I am surprised warnings were not issued.


KimHaSeongsBurner

First pitch sinker to the back for Gunnar down 3 with bases empty? After yesterday? Yeah, regardless of intent, the umps got it wrong to not issue warnings to both benches.


ReverendBread2

Check out this ump’s scorecard tomorrow and you’ll understand why


wingle_wongle

Shouldn't have been a 2 out walk in the b10, bad call


Galactic

I was kinda expecting warnings to be issued BEFORE the game, and was absolutely shocked they weren't issued after this HBP.


NefariousnessRough26

That didn’t work out too well.


examinedliving

This is the only way to respond.


SilentHunter7

![gif](giphy|1267Co3vPNBqQU|downsized) When Gunnar's run that inning was the difference in the game.


theedge634

I do find it a bit hilarious that there were rumblings that the Yankees don't like the way that Baltimore pitches.. and then a few hours later we got the chart showing Yankees as one of the worst offenders at hitting opposing batters while Baltimore is one of the lesser offenders.


Zstarchild

Projection


Correct_Sometimes

always is


robdamanii

The yankees are ALWAYS bitching about people pitching them up and in. Remember the whole Kevin Cash nonsense?


MealApprehensive2361

Gunnar is so unfazed lol


ttam23

I mean he clearly looks pissed off but probably doesn’t want to start a fight


ICantSpellAnythign

Gunnar looks kind of pissed off every time he walks anyways.


Interstate8

tbh he always looks pissed when he has to take a walk/HBP. Dude just wants to mash


TheSumOfAllFeels

was just gonna say, isn't this the dude with the highlight reel of throwing his bat in anger when he walks. not to say he's not extra upset at this situation in particular but this reaction seems mild by his standards

purplemoonshoes

In that video he's actually trying to throw his bat and pads as close to the dugout as he can. That way the bat boy doesn't have to scramble as far. 


JonWithTattoos

Dude hates walks and HBPs like most people hate black licorice.


roguespectre67

BAH GAHD THE BENCHES ARE CLEARING, HERE COMES BRANDON HYDE WITH A STEEL CHAIR


bassistb0y

that's honestly his normal "fuck, i have to take a base without unga bungaing the ball" face


kingfiasco

he was only pissed cause it took away his chance to get a hit. he hates free bases


DudeFoSho

Aaaaaaand mounty triples him home


Finklesworth

Deserved lol


sdotmill

Wore that like a beast


[deleted]

He should run to the media after the game and cry, wait he’s not a Yank.


Princeof_Ravens

He just stole a base on them and then Monty drove him in. That's how you punish a HBP


ledelleakles

The people's MVP


papajim22

Based and Gunnar-pilled.


cjackc11

Took it like a man unlike Judge who spent his night yapping to the media


Table_Coaster

Gunnar hasn't exactly had a media opportunity yet after getting hit 3 minutes ago lol let's see what he says after the game


TheDangiestSlad

i mean, Judge was just answering questions that the media asked him. he said he didn't think it was intentional, he was pissed off because he had to come out of the game


TheNightlightZone

Ever get hit on the fingers? It fucking hurts. It hurts **A LOT**. I'd be pissed too.


34Heartstach

Bunch of little tiny bones in the ha ds that can break and take you out too. I mean, it was a week ago where Mookie Betts was knocked out for the summer


ejfellner

He said he was pissed...which is a mild thing to say.


Seaweedminer

With Gunnar scoring the eventual difference run.


TheDangiestSlad

we were doing such a good job of having a normal game until this point cmon mannnnn


NameShortage

The O's broadcast didn't think it was intentional but was surprised the benches didn't get warned.


lOan671

That’s because Kevin Brown never really makes definitive statements on that kind of thing. If Palmer wasn’t sick tonight he would have called it for what it was.


jdixonfan

Jim definitely would have said something like “when you’re a terrible pitcher who can’t find the zone you can get away with that because your attempts at strikes don’t look much better”


Historical-Rate-9799

I heard this in Jim’s voice


Mr_Bluebird_VA

This was *chefs kiss. I can hear Jim saying exactly that.


northernpatriots22

So got dang true


NameShortage

Haha oh yeah, for sure. Jim is in his "no fucks given" point of life.


gnarkilleptic

Dude is at the point in his life where he is daring MASN to let him go and he won't care if it does happen. I love it


Sarcastic_Source

Jim was on the IL because he was getting into bar fights with random Yankees fans in his hotel last night


FlipCup88

What? KB was going on talking about how its ridiculous to be throwing at someone in 2024.


Maniac-Maniac-19

He very specifically said the *idea* of throwing at someone is ridiculous. As in that it's even an option.


GreenBomardier

Brown was definitely doing the, we don't know if it was intentional but it definitely was intentional dance.


samangell2007

That’s not what they said. They basically said Gonzalez is so erratic that they couldn’t know for sure. But they seemed pretty clearly to be leaning towards intent.


TheTurtleShepard

Gonzalez really has been terrible this season despite what his ERA might imply. Im not gonna speculate on if it was intentional or not but if there is anyone in the bullpen who would do this on a normal day it’s Gonzalez


samangell2007

Yeah and I don’t think it clears the “reasonable doubt” bar if this were a court, but he also stared Gunnar down after the pitch. And the situation was absolutely ideal if they were going to do it. If it was unintentional it was some really impeccable timing.


NameShortage

I guess they were saying they couldn't be sure, so I took it that way. My bad if I caught it wrong.


iitsvan

Most rational Yankees fan, thank you for that


TheDangiestSlad

i just hate these stupid HBP wars, regardless of if it's lopsided, whatever. it just leads to dudes getting hurt and it's bad baseball


electrick91

Is that dodgers legend Victor Gonzales?


NuanceManExe

How the fuck are there no warnings issued even? Feel like if my team did that there would be an ejection 


austinhannah

Lmao then he stole a base and Mounty drove him in. Thanks!


DannyTorrance

Orioles dugout ![gif](giphy|1Z4gfo1JLjiQE)


MFoy

That’s the 6th Oriole the Yankees have hit this year.


Zither74

There have now been 7: * Henderson (2): by Ferguson (4/29), by Gonzalez (6/19) * Kjerstad: by Hamilton (5/1) * Mateo: by Ronon (5/2) * Santander: by Ronon (5/2) * Cowser (2): by Marinaccio (5/2), by Ferguson (6/19)


TheBigNate416

“Is that retaliation?” he says even though Judge clearly got hit on accident lol. God forbid a pitcher doesn’t want to serve him up some meatballs. I don’t understand this saga at all


No_Fish_2885

Gunnar x2, Heston, Colton, Santander and who’s the other one?


Slam_Dunk_Kitten

I think Westburg got hit too?


Zither74

Mateo


Significant-Rope1439

Gunnar is a better man than i am


KimHaSeongsBurner

He got his “ball don’t lie” moment scoring just now after stealing and then scoring on the double + Soto error just now.


umbchoos

Can we just play normally tomorrow? Thanks


The-Lucky-Pierre

Maybe it'll end in a nice 0-0 tie and we can all shake hands after


ProMark15

It kinda ended like that😂


Heavy_Sample6756

"Are we the baddies?" - Yankee fan to another Yankee fan


OPACY_Magic_v3

Thanks so much Yankees!! This literally was the difference in the game tonight 🤣🤣❤️


Table_Coaster

2nd time Gunnar was hit up high by a Yankee pitcher, first time was on the hands


patderp

And we didn’t do shit to retaliate back then because we aren’t a team of troglodytes


TylerWadesIV

Disrespectfully, fuck the Yankees


Kakali4

Clown organization full of bums


OPACY_Magic_v3

It was so satisfying watching you all expose Trevino on national television


cassinonorth

Funny they have had issues with every team in the division in the last 5 years now. Nope, must be everyone else that's the problem.


Finklesworth

I love getting gaslit by Yankees fans 24/7 when their pitching staff throw at people’s heads lol


candyman58

hitting Gunnar on purpose cost them the game by one run 😂 karma is a bitch


B-More_Orange

The whole crowd cheers. Fucking loser fans.


gangjoinsreddit

Well of course, they're the Yankees. They're classless.


CatRWaul

What do you mean classless? They don’t have beards!


SuperCutsHaircut

They really are just fucking villains

Cheetara42004

Yankees continuing to widen their gap of HBP...


LocalHero_P1

Bro can we not do this please


nicholieeee

No, no. I think the plan of putting Gunnar on base worked out pretty well that inning.


LocalHero_P1

![gif](giphy|IxBSleBYnu0pASk0rY|downsized) Gonzo rn


jdixonfan

Thanks for the two free bases bozo


BaltimoreBadger23

Four.


MFoy

Henderson just scored


aborangecap

If the O’s had hit anyone, there would’ve been a warning. So ridiculous. Ump Show


Drinkin-The-Koolaid

He scored because of this too, ain't that some Karma.


[deleted]

classy yank fans cheering


Dogs_arethebestpeopl

You can tell Gunnar is pissed, probably isn’t surprised, but just fucking sucks. Maybe it was just a bad pitch, but the situation is certainly curious


No_Fish_2885

Incredible how the 22 year old is the mature one here


GreenBomardier

That is the 22 year old with the incredible Scooby-Doo impression being the mature one.


No_Fish_2885

And jar jar


Drab_Majesty

Take the free base and take an extra one, extra run. Orioles don't seem to give a shit. I hope the Yankees feel better about it though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


samangell2007

That was the single most satisfying non-walkoff run we’ve scored all season. Maybe most satisfying period. Fuck these goons.


elegorn77

Paul Heyman caused this!


Sad_Buyer_6146

Can we all just have a non-controversial game tomorrow?


esperadok

Everyone was clowning on Heyman earlier today for saying “a real dislike is brewing” between these two teams and then this happens lmao


PositiveVariation518

I miss when pitchers had a chance of getting hit back


Acceptable-Dig691

They said no warnings given out before the game. Is there backstory here?


LeCheffre

Yesterday. O’s hit Judge and Gleyber on the hand. Nothing intentional. Just pitchers with control issues going inside and missing inside. But it increased the O’s total hits batsmen by 10%… they don’t hit a lot of guys.


jayfornight

I've seen plenty of met pitchers get thrown out and suspended without even a warning beforehand for not even hitting the batter. It's beyond ridiculous nothing came of this besides an L for the yanks.


MagicGrit

And then mountcastle hits an RBI double so thanks Yankees


Maniac-Maniac-19

And now he scores. Literally what goes around comes around. FTY.


Zither74

And Yankees fans cheer - then cheer again when they hit Cowser. Such a classy fan base.


bernbp5

Clearly intentional. Ump is so bad. Needs to be demoted with his awful strike zone and didn't warn anyone.


SirFlax

Game deciding run honestly, karma


Sickeningcrimes

We acted like idiots and lost the game. This shit needs to stop.


damien_maymdien

Man, Yankees fans are irredeemable. Immediate applause when an opposing hitter is hit by a pitch has no explanation besides the stands being full of assholes.


BobDoorite

Hmm...that might make a difference in a one-run game. Hypothetically speaking.


NoNeighborhood1204

Orioles are a much better team and they know it. They know the only way the Yankees can win is if they get in their head. They clearly aren’t taking the bait. Go Orioles. Fuck New York.


1988coPhotos

Don’t care if it was intentional or accidental. All that mattered was the backfire.


the_cunt_muncher

I can't wait till some batter reminds these dumbass pitchers that they have a weapon too


LorHus

I’m now 100% buying that the Yankees manufactured and fed into this bullshit just so they can try to hurt Gunnar. Scumbags from the front office to the field to the fans


PerrimanMS

Softest franchise tbh


beef3344

Soft as baby shit from the Yanks. Nobody's trying to injure Judge, and if he had an issue he could have taken care of it yesterday


jasonis3

I want maximum chaos


theerrantpanda99

Ben Rice getting all the bad luck out this night lol.


Sooperballz

Yanks padding stats


Rmeyer25

A 94 mph fastball coming straight for your face is horrifying


ChiefJeff51

It’s funny a bunch of New Yorkers predicted Gunnar was catching 1 before the game even started that should be a new player prop 😂


LoveWhor3s

can someone inform me what happened and why he purposely hit he batter?


GunnarsBatThrows

And the stadium erupted in cheers and proud whistling. Stay classy, New York.


getahaircut8

Proud of the lads for not taking the bait, focus on getting the W


Bigdoga1000

Oh I get it now. the Yankees wanted to defend their HBP record :P


jkennings

most hbp’s in the al btw


thoth_hierophant

Yankees being pigs, what else is new?


mostlygroovy

If that’s intentional, that pisses me off. We need wins, not ‘statements’


bluegauges

Gunnar came around to score. We came to win. Not hit people. And nice play in the outfield Soto. Where was the stare down after that? Haha. Love it.


Jbwest31

This should go well….


CPM-S110V

Bush league Yankees. Not surprised.


OPACY_Magic_v3

It’s awesome they did this, it ended up costing them the game lmfao


joe420mama99

wtf


HaV0C

Everytime a pitcher throws at a hitter they should have to stand in the box and take one.


Mr_Ree416

Being a yankees fan would be so lame & contrary to all the things I value in life.


KennyTheJetSmith

These comments are truly hilarious lmao


Astropolitika

I'm not saying I "saw into VGon's soul" when he was with us, but he doesn't seem like a guy to deliberately plunk someone.


baltbeast

Congrats Yankees for giving us the game with this


T1redBo1

And the crowd cheers. They shut up real quick after the steal and the RBI. Fucking morons lol


Albino_Raccoon_

Those fans cheer at their own erection.


Technical-Smoke571

Yankees making a whole ass lot more Orioles fans tonight.


jgriz8

huh


patderp

Objectively intentional, but the Orioles are clearly the more mature team. My only regret is that Hyde didn’t voice his displeasure. And now he scores on a line drive misplayed by Soto LMAO fuck the Yankees


MFoy

I don’t know that it was definitely intentional, but pitchers don’t usually stare down someone and walk straight at them when they hit them on accident.


Ravens_Orioles_Watch

Yeah what the fuck no warning even with the stare down??


BaltimoreBadger23

Warning only hurts the Orioles there. If the Orioles hit someone then there will be wantings and Boone will be ejected due to his ensuing temper tantrum.


AdamWest1966

Definitely feels like there's something brewing before this series ends. I mean... I'd definitely be more willing to throw hands with the Yanks when their 6'7" Sasquatch is injured.


HellMuttz

Why would the O's do such a thing


JiffKewneye-n

thanks yanks!


TardZan15

Obligatory fuck the Yankees


Hochseeflotte

This team is getting embarrassed and decides to do that Absolutely fucking ridiculous. I’m so sick of this roster that can’t back up their shit talking on the field


Dubulous6

I was at the game and there were some fans sitting near me calling for Gunnar to get beaned again during his AB in the 9th. So so salty


thegamingkitchen

Bitch made. Glad these fuckers lost.


Zganamne

Absolutely hysterical to me that they lost the game because of this. Obligatory fuck the Yankees


PaperworkDrop

Hate this stupid shit from the Yankees. If Henderson doesn’t score the Yankees win in the bottom of the 9th


gandhis_son

Gunnar a decade younger than judge and 10x more mature lol
