Then I tried to look for who had gotten plunked last week, expecting to see maybe five, at most ten, players hit. To my surprise, 69 PLAYERS WERE HIT, 9 of whom were hit multiple times. Since I'm too lazy to list them all, I thought I'd acknowledge the player with the most HBP for the week who is actually owned by someone (a lot of the players that were hit I was like who?)
Carlos Delgado, owned by Ladies Love Us, also owned by 3 pitches.
Jason Werth gets the award for most hilarious HBP caught on film tho (haha awesome pic Joe). He definitely ATE that stray baseball. And then it traveled through him and he crapped it out.
In other news, Hanley had a monster week.
Every time Los Quentinolos gets hit by a pitch, he looks only mildly annoyed that he got hit and more annoyed at the fact that he no longer has an opportunity to hit the ball deep into the outfield or out of the ballpark. The ball always just kind of bounces off of him. I imagine the ball to be in pain more than Carlos himself.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who knows about math should make a graph comparing body mass v. HBP potential.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have been wondering for a long time how much it would hurt to get hit by a Major League pitch. More information to follow if I decide to further investigate.
Some of these athletes are taken out of the game (most recently Hanley, JD) for getting hit, and then some players I guess take it very personal, so it must hurt both the body and soul very much. I'm pretty sure my bones would shatter or my lung would collapse again, possibly both at once. If only high-school-Wesley were around to make this graph proposed by Jenni.
ReplyDeletea few weeks ago i went to batting cages with nar mordo and kei
ReplyDeletetaking hacks from the medium pitch machine
(~55mph, rubber coated balls)
an inside mediumball rode in on me and hit me on my right hand
and it ripped my skin through batting gloves on my middle and ring fingers
and then it started to swell and i couldnt bend them for a couple of days
only 55mph! i cant imagine being hit by a low 70s mlb changeup
ozzie quote from just a little over a year ago:
ReplyDelete“Carlos has had good [at-bats] since the first day I put him in the lineup. He’s always getting hit by a pitch at the right spot. I like it.”
i remember when i first heard it i thought he meant that cq was getting clutch hits
but no he meant what he said, just getting hit
also nar

ReplyDeletesomewhere along the line they acquired JIMMY GOBBLE from the royals
he gave up 10 runs in an inning sometime last year
Sorry, I meant Jermaine Dye. I know we all wish we could have Jermaine Dupri contribute to our fantasy teams somehow.
ReplyDeleteJIMMY GOBBLE is a great name. That sounds like Ozzie treatment, leaving a pitcher in an inning where they give up a shit ton of runs. I've read he does this to punish his pitchers. It's cruel and funny.
Talking about weird names in the Minors:
