The first time up Brian Vogelsong is thrown at up and in all the way to head high. 2nd time up Brian almost gets hit at shoulder high. 3rd and final at bat the Marlins for no reason at all hit Brian on his throwing elbow. Brian raises the bat over his head and slams it to the ground. He glares out at the mound and for just a moment it looks as though he wants to go out to the mound. Marlins catcher and the umpire gets in the way and Brian says that is the 3rd time, whats going on? Cooler heads prevail and Brian goes to first base.
The Giants are upset but nothing happens. The media says it could be about the Buster Posey thing. Uh it was another Giant getting hurt and the Giants have not hit any Marlins in any of the games that the teams have played. The Giants have handled their star player who was in the middle of a 13 game hitting streak, when a close to dirty play took Buster out for the year. I was one who at first watching said nothing dirty at all. A friend of mine who is not a Giants fan at all told me to watch the replay again. I watched and saw that if the runner had not bounced off of Buster he could not have come near touching the plate. Not cool but part of the game.
Now you have Jack speaking post game. He says why are the Giants upset? Well Jack it would be pure bullshit if the Giants lost the 10-2 All-Star who happens to lead the league in E.R.A and has been a big part of keeping the Giants alive. Maybe if Vogelsong had not been thrown at 3 times in a row he may have not reacted to the bush league crap the Marlins have been pulling. Since the Posey thing, the Marlins have hit a number of Giants hitters and in a show weakness or class the Giants have done nothing to any Florida Marlins.
Jack then goes on to mis pronounce the 10-2 pitchers name who happens to have the lowest E.R.A in the National league. He goes on to call him Volkswagon or who ever that guy is. Have a little class Jack! You are 80 and a great manager but you could act like an adult with a little class. I used to have a ton of respect for Jack, now he is just over the hill and a bitter old man. Jack sitting there saying that pitchers of the past would have really hit the guy. No in the past a pitcher who is 10-2 and has the lowest E.R.A in the league, would have the whole team would have charged the mound. Be a man Jack, have some class and say sorry to the Giants as a class club.
Have a nice day
